Hello All,
Ok here goes...
The server was running flawlessly for about 4 weeks on patch 2136. I had the server running with very little in the batch file, all settings were in the ut2003.ini, user.ini and the xAdmin.ini. The server stayed visible in the browser (did not have the N/A issue) and WebAdmin worked without a hitch. If "kicking" was necessary I was able to accomplish this with the following commands:

adminlogin somename somepass
admin kick list
admin kick [PlayerID]

POOF! the person gets kicked...logout and continue playing. I was also able to kick from the Webadmin interface.

I have now applied the new patch 2166 and I am having this issue.
I run these commands from the console...

Attempt #1 - Tried to kick a bot.

adminlogin somename somepass
admin kick list
admin kick [PlayerID]

This is the message I see:
WhoAmi has been kicked
WebAdmin has been kicked

I get this same result when trying to use the adminmenu
I had a buddy login aka KickMe. and attempted to kick him thinking it was just because i was trying to remove a bot. Same commands as above. Results:

KickMe has been kicked
Jagermiester has been kicked
WebAdmin has been kicked

Jagermiester was some poor soul that got kicked accidentally. KickMe got the message "...had to be forcibly removed from the server" Feel bad about accidentally kicking Jagermiester, OOPS! Although it wouldn't have happened if it worked right i suppose. I disconnected from the server and logged in to the webadmin and tried to kick my trusty buddy "KickMe" worked there and it only kicked one person, phew!

Now is this a syntax problem or is there a bug that is happening? Has anyone else come across this?
Thank you in advance for any and all replies.

GG's!

bot's can't be kicked, bots should be removed using bots kill
playerid 0 can't be kicked, this will break some things

these where bugs in 2136, havent checked if they still exist in 2166 (but looks like it)

Thank you for the replies guys!

As a update, I have rolled back my server to ver 2136 for the moment. It has been running again, stable and smooth with this patch.
I plan on setting up a dummy server here to see if I can at least get it to run without lock-ups (aka N/A for ping and web-admin lockouts)

Kick functions only work properly in the web admin for ver2166

Both the admin kick [ID]
and the adminmenu have the same glitch ( mass kick if person is selected) I've got a thought about this that I am going to try once I get the dummy going.

Nope. Admin kick was broken in 2166. Admin kick by playername was broken in 2136; I fixed that in EvolutionPack2b. Epic asked me if they could include my fixes in the 2166 patch, then proceeded to change my original code *just enough* so that it's broken again.

Way to go Epic! ;)

(edit: fix for admin kick by playername wasn't added until EvolutionPack2b, which wasn't released - 2166 came out around that time so I just put it to the side)
