Packet Flooding

When I run my server on my VPS, be it my game server or a vanilla MS4, and I login on a non-admin character, after walking for a few seconds, I get booted for packet flooding.

Nothing else causes it, only walking. It also only happens if I have the server on the VPS. Any idea what could be causing this?

I'm guessing your getting some flooding of packets.

I increased my packet limitations to 50 Tongue just to see if it made it slower.
Can't you trace the packets back to see what they are?

5 minutes ago. Tested again afterwards, same thing.

Got it fixed. I really suggest everyone convert away from GetTickCount.

Uhh, I was told that GetTickCount was the most effecient way for timing... There's better? Care to elaborate?

I tried it, because I couldn't find Verrigan's. However, it didn't work. Same problem as GetTickCount. Dugor linked me to Verrigan's version, which I had in the OLD MS303 version of FPO a year or two ago. It's always worked for me.

If you do the tutorial right, you just gotta replace GetTickCount with GetTickCountNew and any variable defined to be a timer, needs to be a currency, not a long.

Np. Dugor noticed right off hand that it was a problem with GetTickCount, so I changed it. Haven't had a problem since. It's actually a bit more accurate as well.
