In case this is not due to some reason other than oversight, there are no spec spots on the combo server. The server has been quite populated lately, it seems, and a spec spot or four would be nice to help even teams. We've had some excellent NW games lately.

Also, I don't see country flags showing on any of the servers. Is this intentional or is my UT messed up ... more than usual?

and spec just for combo may SAM knows why

Some bright spark was crashing the iptocountry server. Which was crashing the server. The person was going into spec to do it and wouldn't join as a player. Therefore spec was disabled to stabilise the server.

The siege server looks a lot more stable now. Higor patched the exploit. Once the patch is on the other servers I will open the specs again.

I'm sorry, what was the reason for disabling flags? Just curious :)

I guess I'm not quite getting it...I see Sam's comment about Spec but it does not really address little flags representing countries...am I not reading it right?

Flags are resolved by the iptocountry server - that is the server that was being crashed which in turn crashed the gameserver instead.

We do have a stable patch though operating on siege. So I will get this all back and running soon. I've just been busy with three building projects at home which have consumed me.

May be just me, but I noticed way less laming on the insta servers since the flags have been off. I think certain people used to identify admins (especially nordog and seabass) by their flags and not by aliases. Now they are scared of anyone with a name they don't recognize. It could just be me though.

Thank you Sam. It makes sense now.

That may well be the case BiGbOsS thanks for making us aware of this. May be an option to look into not having on there anymore
