Server got hacked??

[NLsRene]

Under_RXD, Glacier_flying_HD and on Uphill_rxd i could destroy a mammy with a 500 sniper or other armoured vehicles. Nukes would only disarm if you would shoot at it. It ruined a lot of games for me tonight, 2 shot on orcas, 6 bullets for apc to get destroyed with 500 sniper. 
 

What even happened, or what is causing this? 
 

it is 3 am, i will post the live stream as a link in here so just skip forward to the maps above to see it for yourselves:

Wasnt this happened before also?

 

[NLsRene]

Yes i believe that is Under_RXD Manuel ended the map then everything was fine, until mid game it happened again on Glacier_HD. At start it was normal and then i could shoot a mammy with a 500 sniper (1 bar and a bit per shot). Also on Glacier_hd when a ion was planted at our hon, we tried to disarm it with rep gun but that didn’t work, so a Sakura shot it with the ramjet and needed 2 shots to disarm it. 

later on Uphill_rxd light tanks could be destroyed almost instantly. 
 

PS: i will edit the timestamps later when i hop on computer to save you guys some time.

As we just now found out - it was a server-side glitch. The server was running for over 36 days in a row without any restarting. As a rule, if server runs for this long time, it starts glitching out on random maps. So it was not map-related issue. Server is already restarted, so those glitches must disappear for now.

Still, that's strange. 

[MaxRen06]

Agreed, that it's strange. But maybe it's related to the specifics of how Ren FDS work. I don't fully know, but seems like FDS gets less and less stable over the time if it's not restarted at least each month. Maybe because of overflows, or something else.

Anyways, server was restarted today, so there would not be such glitches for some more time. I think the FDS needs restarts every month to prevent bugging out. I may be wrong, but I've came to this conclusion.

In 24 years of Renegade i have never seen this before. A glitch for me would be, crashes and such but not mechanic issues. I don’t know how it works, but if it is for me, damage is set by default, and doesn’t change all of a sudden unless someone is playing with it. 
 

there were weird players i have never seen before in game as well, so i don’t know. 
 

what do the logs say? Sure there is something to see in there.. it felt like someone was doing this. Did you check the weird names that logged in yesterday? Something fishy was going on.

From under_rxd 
 

Glacier_flying_HD : Orca + mammy example
 

Uphill_RXD stealth tank/Light tank damage 

 

Edit: This is the ion that couldn't be disarmed with rep gun, but with Ramjet it could:

I have seen this before when we fixed random crashes
