Minorating must be accessing some files that the server needs exclusive access to ? Otherwise how could it lock up the server like that. Did you also warp at the same time?

When I first heard about the server plugin concept, I thought it could put some extra load on weaker servers that they could do without. It might be unfounded, but a plugin has to do all this extra work, for each player, centralised in one place. At least player-side apps spread any work to everyone's PCs, for just that one player.

It's a known issue.  Has happened ever since MR was introduced, although some warps are worse than others.

Makes sense, earlier in the night Phil and Mael warped into each other 2 races in a row.

Agree with what you say but this situation seems to me to be a temporary freeze of the server. That indicates either a resource lockout between minorating.exe(?) and acserver.exe. or the plug-in interface code is locking out the rest of the server processing temporarily - ie a bit of single-threaded code where it shouldn't be. Dare I mention 'software bug'?

Unsure if it's related but I had a few screen freeze ups on Marty's server last night which isn't normal for me. I usually get one freeze up a minute or two after getting into a server then it's all good.
