of course with all these problems any server could be unusable. But that's the question: latest sphere builds don't have these problems. I'm using '23 dec' build on my server (70~100 players online) and it's working fine, including spellbooks opening to all clients, monsters are attacking without problems, resurrect and craft skills are working fine, etc

that's why we always ask if ppl are using correct scripts. Since a year ago the sphere development speed got increased, and many of these changes are linked to scripts and needs an script update. Like combat skills that needs "FLAGS=skf_fight" set to be considered a combat skill, craft skills needs "FLAGS=skf_craft" to be considered a craft skill, buff/debuff spells needs "LAYER=x" value set correctly to equip the spell memory on this layer, resurrect spell that needs "FLAGS=spellflag_targ_dead" to allow select dead chars as target, etc

it's like Gil Amarth said some posts ago, you must update the .exe and focus on each problem, then you will discover that everything is just matter of a missing script update. And also again, make sure that your sphere.ini is updated, there's many critical settings that has added/removed since a year ago

we are here to help, so feel free to ask us anything
PS: another quick tip is search for "warning" and "important" words on changelog (revisions.txt). Usually we use this to highlight critical must-have script updates
