[BUG] Detector crashing on server ddos attacks?

[Jesseman1]

Describe the bug

BotDetector crashed during a game with a lag-inducing cheater.

To Reproduce

I'm unsure how they managed to do this, but while the server was being ddosed, the bot detector crashed and was unable to call votes or post chat warning after turning it back on.

Expected behavior

The bot detector to continue working during ddos attacks on the server.

Screenshots

No screenshot available

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows 10
• Version of bot detector: 1.2.1.934

Additional context Cheater that was in the game seemed smugly aware that the detector had crashed before I realized anything, it's how I figured out to tab out and look at it.

That does not appear to be a crash. The most likely explanation would be that a network afflicted server does not show users as properly connected. TF2BD doesn't call votes if people are not in the server since joining users would not see the vote once they fully load in.

Providing the user an option to configure TF2BD to call impossible votes would probably be the best solution here.

the bot detector was completely closed when i checked on it, it was running when i launched the game

The logs you show a graceful shutdown. Either these aren't the right ones or something very unusual is happening.

2021-09-14_01-16-32.log shows a non-graceful shutdown. If looks to be related to rcon failures. Beyond that, without more reports from other users it is difficult to determine a causation.

This has been noted, and there may be follow up questions from others, but for now this is probably dead in the water.
