hi when i have got gametracker up and tracking stats when the server becomes full i think gametracker is scanning the server too often and is causing it top lag and drop out every 5 - 10 mins..when i have not got gametracker enabled then the server does not do it...not sure wether it is gametracker or gameservers that is causing this any help with this would be definately appreciated..Also by disabling the gametracker i lost server rankings

If it were caused by GT, I would imagine that the lag would happen every 1-3 minutes since that is the frequency for GT scans.
I am retired from GameTracker after 11 years and will not be responsive for support requests.

Bugs within the game are more likely to be causing the issues with your server. GameServers.com should have more than enough bandwidth allow scanning of the server this frequently.

yesterday and 2 days ago my cod7 server crashed every 10-30 minutes when it was full, today it has been stable for 7 hours. Is it related to "Call of Duty Black Ops is currently scanning limited information on all gameservers."?

its all the above, but mainly due to Treyarch. i think they setting up a big patch for this. Our server crash all the time and reset. You also notice that in ur server sits [3arc]democlient, that is what makes it laggy. It is there to record the whole match so you can watch it on ur Theatre...wow.. Then there is steamsux lol...what a joke. They should have never partner with steamsux. makes a good game shitty...ahem...MW2 lmao...hackers haven. It is a dam shame we have to pay for this crappy ass server . It is also funny that gameserver monopolize this game.lol...

Yeah and all 4 out of the 4 servers for MY CLAN aren't having their Stats tracked.
.
It worked for a couple days, then BLAMO..NOTHING.
.
Then it appeared to be fixed FOR ONE DAY, then server box goes blank, NO Stats, No scan, No anything, but this.
.
No Players Online
Player ranking not available for this game
.
So what exactly is causing it..?? Treyarch, or Gamesevers/Gametracker.??
.
And I can tell you for a FACT, that Stats were NOT updated every three minutes PERIOD, maybe they were scanned BUT, I never encountered any game that scanned and updated every 3 minutes EVER, so I doubt that number has anything to do with anything.
.
Now when I go into the Gametracker Server info page I get the messege- > "Call of Duty Black Ops is currently scanning limited information on all gameservers" I guess my question about this is, How long does it take to scan limited information..??
.
So is the Games fault, or what..??

Frequent scans are thought to be causing the servers do crash due to a bug in the binary. Once treyarch can patch the issue, stats will be back. Currently I believe it is querying the master server list so only limited info is available.

Hi Burn,

Is there any sort of timescales as to when these problems will be fixed ?

I appreciate its a Treyarch issue but i thought I'd ask the question.
