Errors Tutoriels

The connect handshake behind 'Connection failed after 4 retries' - UDP reachability, sv_lan, rate/netchan limits, wrong port, and provider-level UDP filtering - each with a concrete test.

Work through every reason AMX Mod X reports a module as failed to load: wrong architecture, missing system libraries, version mismatch, and modules.ini configuration.

Why a Zombie Plague server sits in an endless standard round with no infection, the plugin load order and cvars that gate the mode, and how to read the AMXX log to find the real cause.

What the sound-precache limit is in GoldSrc, why plugins that precache too many sounds crash the server, and how to find and trim the offender so the map loads.

Why rcon succeeds from the server box but 'Bad rcon_password' or timeouts hit from outside, how the RCON challenge works, the sv_rcon and firewall settings that block it, and how to test it safely.

What an edict is, why GoldSrc runs out of them, reading the 'ED_Alloc: no free edicts' crash, finding the plugin that leaks entities, and raising the limit on ReHLDS.

What the protocol-mismatch rejection actually means, why the 25th Anniversary update caused a wave of it, matching client and server builds, and the steam_legacy rollback for both sides.

Why an AMXBans command appears to work in-game yet writes nothing to the database: the MySQL module, the amxbans SQL config, load order, and table-prefix mismatches.

Players ping fine to every other server but yours? The usual culprit is low server FPS or a CPU-starved VPS, not the network. How to diagnose and fix in-game ping.

Every reason RCON rejects your password on a CS 1.6 server - config overrides, the challenge/UDP path, ReHLDS lockouts, and sv_rcon ban settings - with the exact check for each.

Decode AMX Mod X 'Run time error 4: index out of bounds', read the debug trace to find the exact plugin and line, and fix the array bounds bug behind it.
