Hi, I am having some issues with hosting Q3A servers. I can never seem to keep a server with bots up and running for any longer than one round depending on the map. Also when I host with no bots the server tends to stay up for very little time (Anywhere from 10min to several hours). I am hosting on Windows and any help would be appreciated.

PC specs? My guess is your cpu cant handle the bots and when it reaches 100% cpu usage, the program hangs (as with most programs, after 99% cpu it crashes). When the map changes it probably crashes due to loading the map, and parsing the bots at the same time. Maybe it crashes without bots when it loads a level that needs more resources, hence why it stays up for "10min to several hours"

Thats my guess, other than that not sure. You can free up resource by lowering your desktop resolution and/or killing other running processes
