<div class="IPBDescription">weird msgs similar to above...</div> I am running a dedicated 1.03 server and I am having problems with connections from clients.
They seem to get an error msg once in a while such as:
<b>"host_error:dispatchusermsg: illegal user Msg 160"</b>
--> Or similar with a different # at the end like 224 etc.
No reports of clients doing anything "out of the ordinary" when it happens, so it is hard to figure out what may be causing the error. It happens randomly it seems(but there is always a reason...)
They are disconnected and are left with the above error. It seems to happen to some people more than others. Is this a server problem or a client problem. I'm assuming this is a problem with the server.
I am running adminmod and don't have any *extra* plugin's running.
If anyone has seen this error and has any advice on what causes it and how to remedy it, it would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. I am fairly new to running dedicated servers and have limited programming background in C and scripting. So please keep responses in "English" and not computer language. Thanks a lot.

what is your router brand, i have a linksys and i get similar problems, but not so much anymore...and i didn't change my router any.
So what you might want to do is unload any metamod plugins that you don't have any faith in because they could be screwing it up.
A specific example I can cite is when bombs blew up in counter-strike with spidermonkey 0.69, the game would run absolutely flawlessly in any other respect. But if someone was close enough to get their screen shaken by the explosion then they got disconnected with a message that sounds similar to the one you're talking about
The screenshot show's what msg's I had in the client console. I was connected to my own server testing it to see how stable it was. I was doing nothing weird except biting and strafing as a skulk. NOONE else was on the server at the time.
Have you seen this before as well?
I used to have this problem.
Did anyone ever figure out the problem, is it related to the router?
I still see the same errors no matter what, they seem to be random though, not always @ the same point in time.
It's the same for counterstrike servers as well(Me and my brother verified this), so I am just assuming its the HLDS itself.
**Just a note about the post with the screenshot...It was determined that connecting to the server from a LINKSYS router lan through the WAN IP did in fact cause this...
This post is pretty old, but if ANYONE has come up with any NEW information about this topic, it would be awesome.
All the people with suitable CABLE connections for at least a 10 - 12 person game would love to set up a server on our LINKSYS routers. Hopefully the problem can be worked out...

Did you ever get anything determined?

PS. Does anyone out there have a WORKING, STABLE server running on a LINKSYS router (DMZ hosted, or maybe static IP on the router?)?
