I get these random disconnects when i join a server

was dropped: too many packets/sec (1735)
You were kicked from the game.
(Tip: try lowering your cl_maxfps to avoid flooding the server)
Disconnected by server!

it doesnt happen during game only on joining. My cl_maxfps is 91 so i can do the box jump on dm8

Which client do you use?

Still no solutions?

Looks like you've been abandoned. Bibi even deleted his post here

heheh

Maybe something in this:

http://tastyspleen.net/~quake2/r1q2.cfg

or

https://r-1.ch/q2config.php?type=r1q2-client

If cl_async is 1 and cl_maxfps is 91 then it should all be good. Even if cl_async is 0 and cl_maxfps is 91, it should be fine. I have played with cl_maxfps 125 and non- asynchronous clients without being booted. Though it did happen once or twice maybe...... r_maxfps should not matter but...I dunno.

This may be way out in left field, but try a virus scan perhaps.

Like iit said, try lowering your clmaxfps. Maybe also try lowering the rate setting as well, or anything else similar. Could be beyond control though, something to do with your connection, but I kinda doubt it. No idea who the "tech support" person around here would be now. Perhaps Claire , but hes away a lot.

Bibi = probably vampnacht/costigan again. Brand new unkown deleting posts, hmmmm.

Bibi is not those guys, I am quite sure. It was a non- confrontational post. No idea y he deleted, just making a little levity to cheer up Orbisson

I totally forgot about rate...

Sorry I deleted his posts so the thread wouldnt get bogged up with irrelevant jabber, but seeing how it will remain a mystery, Continue on with the jabber

FWIW I sent a message to both Claire and Shloo in Discord two days ago. Checking some logging on the server at the time your client disconnect happens might show what's going on.

Focalor, for the record I did not delete my own posts.

Rik.wad - Thanks for those tips. Typically I do fine not even trying those jumps and even though I can do them now, I still do not really try much. I do appreciate those tips though because they work. If I had an idea as to why the disconnects are happening I would certainly let you know.

And the record will show it, Vamp Nacht.

My old square Benq flat LCD monitor kicked the bucket a while back. Damn thing was a trooper. Lasted almost 20 years with heavy daily use.

Been using my EVEN OLDER big honkin' CRT monitor that I used with my old Win98 machine when I was still in high school. It's about a 14 or 15 inch screen. The screen is so small, it's like playing Quake2 on an old Nintendo Gameboy. I was thinking that CRT's ran at much faster frame rates than flat panels, but this one isn't all that fast. I think I'm running it at 100hz, maybe a little less. Anyway, I keep getting booted from the game every so often for "flooding the server" or something.

Any recommendations on what I can do to stop that from happening?

If you're getting "...tried to flood the server (2)" messages, it's from a bug in q2admin-tsmod2 that incorrectly computes the number of userinfo changes per minute. Some sniper zoom binds that used mousewheel to step thru zoom views could cause this. I fixed the bug in my fork of q2admin in v1.17.46 and later but it was never incorporated into the Tastyspleen server system. I'm almost afraid to change over because it means taking down every server to change the q2admin DLL and restarting them all.

I've also seen it kick during intermissions, especially q2pro clients. You might make sure cl_maxfps is 100 or thereabouts. The rate cvar should not be a factor but I keep mine at 25000 without trouble.
