This is a HUGE flaw in the engine... basically the client wants an update on how the game is going (generally after a huge lag or alt-tab) and the server/client connection (either side can be the main cause, or both) is slow so the request is sent again... and again.. until eventually BANG the server says ENOUGH and kicks the client for spamming them. The reason why you only notice it in Obscurity is because there's much more content than the unmodded game, so more chance of lag when updating. It can be "fixed" by having a good connection... and most servers are pretty good so if this is happening to you the best option is to fix your lag... unfortunately there's nothing I can do to fix it :(

I just realized something. Do you mean a good connection client side or server side? This may seem obvious to you but I have no working knowledge of how the ask and repeat works from servers. So is it my 90KBs internet connection that's laggin me out or the server? lol. Thanks for teh info!

You need a good connection on both sides to avoid drop-outs :)

I found that a while back, that a reason behind my lag was that vista/xp both update there internet connection utility to scan for any other internet sources in the area. Every 1/2minutes it scans causing a major lag spike for about around 5-10secs. Resaulting in "Server command Overflow"

I then searched in google looking for other internet connection devices/programs/utility's, i set it up and from that day havent recieved lag spikes or s.c.o since.

hope that helps for some
