    Hi there.
    There's one thing that's bugging me on 2fort insta-noob server :)
    It happened to me like 3 or 4 times lately, and it's really annoying.
    Lets say I play as sniper at 2fort with my sniper rifle. I see that another sniper tried to shoot me, but missed, so i hide for a second, then go out and he's still standing there - I shoot him. Then i look at the chat and see this: "Omg wtf lol bbq, you shot me before i saw you! Cheat cheat cheat cheat!!!!! HAAAAAAX !111oneoneone".
    Usually we come to the conclusion that its a server problem, but why does it happen?
    Got killed like this few times too. Strange thing, my ping is usually between 20 to 70. Most of the time it stays at 30.
    One thing - it started happening lately, like 2 weeks ago.. Before that, no such thing.
    Halp! :s

    the 2fort becomes unstable after some time. it becomes to "jitter" too.. a restart would a good thing each night, need to check out a correct way to do that via cron. Is also in the planning with all tf2 renewals.

    Yeah that happens to all TF2 servers, when the map isn't changed for like... 24 hours or so?? Always have that on the warserver too, just reload or change the map and the jitter is gone. ;) The longer the map hasn't changed, the more jittery it is.
    But since it's an 24/7 2fort server, it's pretty obvious it happens there a lot too. :|
    But I'm not sure if that's the problem what JoJo explained..

    I thought even the 2fort server changed map every x wins or so (to the same map, of course).

    not any more ;) changed it because sometimes people would leave during mapchange. so now it will go ON and ON and ON and... when the server is empty the points will just reset ;)
