You're either missing GeoIP.dat in your Zandronum folder, or it was corrupted.

You should maybe download this file: http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geo ... oIP.dat.gz

However, I don't have any GeoIP.dat, either on my Windows, or Linux installations... Maybe the MAC has this, I've to investigate :/

Does it prevent the server from running? If so, then that's serious. But it probably just means you don't have this.

The problem is not Fatal, it's just considered as a warning message. Just tried it with renaming my Ip2C.dll file, and nothing serious.

Also, I'm not sure of that, but the server won't be able to know what flag everyone has.
