WTF!!! Everytime i join ZS and im doing so good i get Buffer Overflow and its seriously just pissing me off, also their has been a large amount of lag in ZS everytime it gets to 25 and up People..... I just want to know how to prevent this fucking Buffer Overflow... or if its just the server cant handle 25 people..

It's not the server.
Buffer overflow is usually caused when a lot of entities or events are on the map.
It has nothing to do with how good the server box is, or how good your computer is. It's just a limitation caused by the source engine.
Only thing I can recommend is muting everyone in-game when it's full, reducing the amount of information you're receiving.

Well, I remember Noxious having a way of preventing buffer overflows.
What they did was create a very basic looking spawning point that is walled off so less of the map's materials and shit had to be rendered at once upon joining the game. I dont know if this works, but, thats what nox did

AKA an RSO bunker.
Lotsa spacebuild maps have them too.
All it is, is just a sealed room, with no leaks, which acts as if it's completely separate from the rest of the map.
With no enitities or events to render, players would be able to connect to the server just fine, although the teleport could still cause a RSO/BO.
Regardless, he's talking about games like ZS, not wirebuild.
