XenForo went a long time without any updates, but they recently released 2.3.8 about a month ago and 2.3.9 about 2 weeks ago. Please let me know if this issue is still occurring as this would be an issue with XenForo.
This has been fixed and is back to working as intended (no longer coloring playermodels). If you would like this to be changed, feel free to make a suggestion.
A watchdog has been developed and will be moved to staging. If the server stops responding after 10 seconds, it will be killed and started again. If there are no issues observed then it will be rolled out to production in the next week.
How about the default map becomes the last map that was active? Server restarts, updates, or crashes will auto load the map that was active before shutdown/restart/crash.
I'm going to go ahead and close this. Map downloads are handled by Steam CDN and it seems to be fast again. If this occurs in the future, theres nothing we can do as we don't host the map files.
I updated the M4A4 texture earlier today as to not conflict with the M16 texture. After restarting your GMod to apply that fix, are the hands still missing?
