ET Issues: MAX GAMECHARS EXCEEDED

(|>B<|FalcoN) #1

Heya all,

Kinda new to the forum, I am one of bunkergamings admins (www.bunkergaming.com) and we got some weird issue on our hands.

On certain maps, like venice, sands of time (and more) we get this: MAX GAMECHARS EXCEEDED. We are running ETpub with PURE settings. (We get a lot of INVALID/UNPURE .pk3 kicks as well, from people that leave and reconnect because of char thing)

Anyone has an idea to fix it or how to proceed?

TY,

ETpub on which version of ET?

If you have a lot of .pk3 files on your server, you might try getting rid of some of them.

Also you might try searching the etpub forums for people who have run into the same problem as you. Link below.

I’ve had this happen on the B servers once - the Max Gamechars thing, but never got kicked for invalid pk3 files… although I do notice alot of people getting kicked for those. Could the max gamechars thing have something to do with the size of your server? It is the only 64 player server I play on.

Afaik alot of remapshader commands in mapscripts can cause this too.

This is the server where I am talking about :slight_smile:

So: ET 2.60b, PB enabled, ETpub 0.6.5

Well invalid unpure thing isn’t that important, a simple reboot of ET can fix it. The Chars thing can come from shades, any more things like restrictions on weapons, map changes etc?

EDIT: Seems more people have this BS happening. Untill things are sorted out, removing the map from the rotation would fix it? Or does anyone have a permanent solution?

TY for all replies.

I guess you mean “MAX GAMESTATE_CHARS EXEEDED”. I think too much entities cause this. I only see this error on populated servers (JUHU Servers :P).
