Bans are all messed up

[Pimparoo]

Yo, my bans get all messed up after my servers crash, they turn into perma bans with no reason attached... heres a screenshot.

(there are 0 backdoors in my server I checked)

Check your server's data\ulib\bans.txt file. The extra ban information for each ban should be stored there. If it's blank, see if there's a backup file anywhere. It's likely that the file may have gotten corrupted and ULX couldn't read the ban data properly.

yeah, it looked all messed up, I had changed it to a backup that was not corrupt and its still doing it...

[Megiddo]

If ULX creates a backup file, it ALWAYS prints why. Check your server startup log.

[Pimparoo]

Ok..

[Pimparoo]

I still cannot figure out why it's doing it...

[Megiddo]

What does it say during startup?

[Pimparoo]

Nothing.

[JamminR]

Nothing.

Then you're not looking in server (or even game) console.
During startup of the server, ULib and ULX place file loading information in the server console.
During that, ULib or ULX (or lua engine itself) will also show file read errors.

Turns out it was cake anticheat.

I have cake anticheat and my ULX bans work perfectly fine. It must be something else combined with CAC, if not something else entirely.
