VU Server w/Funbots keeps crashing

Anyone know anything about why my VU server might keep crashing in the middle of almost all rounds I play?

I'm running it with the Funbots mod.

I run the server on same machine as client and I am the only one joining the server (its passworded so i can play alone with the bots).

I have not yet been able to get through 1 entire round without the server crashing at some point in the middle of the round.

I have no idea if this is a VU issue or a Funbots issue. Anyone left here that has any real experience with this these days?

    t turns out, it's an issue with the funbots mod that's actually been an issue for awhile now but hasn't been figured out yet 100%. Apparently using the Mapvote mod just makes it even worse so there's some sort of conflict going on when using both mods together.

    If any others who are having this same issue, the best way to deal with this (as of April/2023) is to:

    - use the 2.8 dev2 version of fun-bots

    - remove the mapvote mod entirely

    - install & use the Procon external app (alt-tab) to change your maps and server settings as needed, instead of the mapvote mod

    Hope this finds someone who needs the help.

  • @BigShottt I've not got much experience with this but, just because it popped into my head, can you test without the bots?
  • I'll do more testing in a few days to check a few things, but I have reason to believe that this may be related more to the Mapvote mod, actually. 

    I'm running:

    VU

    Funbots

    vu_mapvote

    Thats it.

  • @BigShottt Venice Unleashed is not supported by EA and bots are not supported in vanilla BF3. Does VU have its own forums that may be of more assistance?
