Doom 3 server scanned incorrectly

Hi,
I've noticed GameTracker commonly displays the wrong number of players on my Doom 3 server. It's correct when empty but it's sometimes +1 when there's players on there. It seems to show an extra player name.

I'm not sure what's causing it. XFire and HLSW is able to display the correct information which leads me to believe the server is ok.



Here's an example with me. I know i've got a name with special characters in it but it does this with other players as well. I can see the HTML for the ">" and "<" there but where's that extra "n" come from?

This player doesn't have a name with weird characters in but GameTracker still reports an extra player.

Edit2(lol): I can see it's doing it on other D3 servers too.

Thanks for reporting this issue.

It appears there is some data being corrupted on the back end. This may take some time to sort out.

Doom servers should be recording players correctly now. Thanks for reporting this bug.
