I was hosting in h2h and 2 nites in a row everyone in the room was booted, and not by me. On the first nite, I was having probs with a certain individual, who kept coming in under different aliases, and saying a bunch of stuff and just raising cane, trying to start trouble, and when i would boot him, the whole room would be booted.
Then someone came back into the room said i had better check out my puter, which when i tried to run my nortons anti virus (all updated) it said i was attacked and that a option file in nortons was target, and that i had to reinstall nortons.
New computer, trial version of Nortons, and no discs to reinstall. I could not run a virus scan, and I could not update the Nortons. So I had to reformat, which i'm sure u all know is not very fun.
The next night , people were being booted towards the end of a war, and not by me. I was a little more prepared this time and ran a security check right away, all it said was that a port scan was going on, so i blocked the port scan, and no one got into my puter. I think there was 2 different things going on, on the 2 different nights, as the people who we were fighting against were talking about some bug in here.(i will copy and paste what was being said at bottom of message).
After talking to some other people who host, 2 of them said they had to reformat also after that one guy from the first night was in their room also. One of them lost thier hard drive. On the 2nd night that one guy was NOT in the room, and it acted a little different than the 1st night, so for that reason and that it acted a little different then the 1st night, i believe it was 2 different things.
Anyways I thought i better say something. heres what was said in the forum about some glitch:
wins25th... Did you notice that the ENTIRE enemy team disappeared? Ever wonder why? After I switched I wanted to disconnect you from my flight so I upped and ejected (forcing you out).
The instant I ejected it said "wins25th has killed you" and I got an instant host connection lost.
It wasn't your router. It was the bug. EVERY person you kill will be kicked from the game.
Which corresponds to the timeframe you started doing this.
I'd NOT recommend anybody using this unless they want to clean out their room ASAP.

Wow, I never thought of it like that.
I always thought that if the person that you had joined left the game, AH crashed for some reason (never knew why).
I could sware it wasn't like that in AH~1.
Anyways, thanks for the info krusty, I'll go expirement summore now
