currently am playing Xonotic on my Framework 12 with Debian Stable and am seeing weird connection errors.

Every now and then (the timing is variable, maybe every 10 minutes) I get weird server lag.  It happens on all the servers though, so I expect it be a problem on my client. It behaves typically to when you lose connection to the server: the position of ever player only gets updated every second or so, the framerate remains stable, after 10 seconds it goes back to normal.

Did anybody else have this kind of problem? I only have that with xonotic.

Have a pic of the netgraph attached, but i doubt thats helpful.

I prefer middle shots, but the middle weapon model option is too large.

I can tell that there's probably more steps to this task, but I'm having a hard time figuring it out. There's no weapon textures in the textures directory that I can see. There's obviously a chance that this just won't work without completely rebuilding the textures/models, but it's weird that I can see the current textures meshed on top of the old models. Curious to see if anybody can give me some pointers.

Only way is to use xonotic-0.8.6.zip to go back to release and update than to newest build.

I've found the `megaerebus.tga` file in the official gitlab repo at `xonotic-data.pk3dir/textures`, but it's not present in the local install, I assume it's baked into the `.iqm` file.

I successfully run 4 game servers (latest versions of Urban Terror, Unreal Tournament 2004, Xonotic & Warsow) that I can connect to with a client from the LAN and WAN by ip.

Since I changed server OS from ClearOS to initially NethServer 7, I am having problems getting listed.
Because someone advised me to solve this problem the easiest way, I changed to the Hypervisor Proxmox and now I am running the game servers in Debian 12 based containers with a dedicated OPNsense firewall box.
Because I do not encounter this problem with UT2K4 I must assume that it's not something simple like a problem with portforwarding, because those are identical.

But with the Urban Terror, Xonotic & Warsow it's only possible to connect from the Internet by ip address and not with the in-game- or online listings.
I already tried every trick in the book that I could find, but nothing works with these 3 games.
https://arena.sh and https://www.urbanterror.info also reports that the servers are unreachable.

The only problem I have with UT2K4 is that I can't figure out how to add my server to GameTracker.com.
For unknow reasons it reports that one of the following criteria is true:
Server is not online
Entered the wrong Query Port
Server is firewalled

When running these game servers on a ClearOS box in gateway mode I did not have any of these problems.
Could it have something to do with a setting in OPNsense ... ?!?

Please advice,
