    A fix for Linux servers is now available. The zip hotfix file now includes both Windows and Linux fixes. Extract the file to your server's "/empires/bin" directory.

    Well, now that the linux server patch is out, I'm curious as to what was being done to crash the server

    Weird, I tried it in OB SDK and it didn't do anything. I even closed the bug.

    Well, maybe it is fixed in the Orange box engine then.

    But currently if you do that on a server which doesn't have protection for that, it does crash. I tested it too for myself when I ran my own server and it at least was choking badly. Can remember did it crash or not.

    It's supposed to be a cheat, but it wasn't marked as one in the code. That's why it was exploitable.

    I think those would be two ways to fix it.
