Is it avered that the network traffic actually increased when not using FL_FAKECLIENT ? I find that curious because in our bot code we already put a lot of check on engine functions to be certain not to call them for bots ; for example, ClientPrintf(), ClientCommand() and such simply return if the calling entity is a bot.
Currently my bots do not use any bit at all, neither FL_FAKECLIENT nor the (1 << 27) we called FL_THIRDPARTYBOT. I keep track of them internally, and I'd like to know if I should put the FL_FAKECLIENT flag back or not.
