About 5 minutes after I open my mervbot.exe the bot enters the zone and works properly. But then, after 5 minutes the bot just leaves the arena for no reaon. Any reason on why this may happen?

What does the MERVBot console say during this entire time?

Says what it normally does...the operators...mervbot release mode...and the Press any key to close this window when done. No other.

Is the bot on vip.txt/sysop.txt ? Do you see any red sysop warnings related to the bot?

There is a property inside mervbot.ini setting the amount of times the bot should reconnect after disconnection. Set it to 1 so it doesn't reconnect after getting disconnected so you can see why it disconnects.
(Run mervbot.exe from a console window so it isn't closed when you do this.)

Yes it's in vip/sysop.txt i changed MaxConnectionTries=1 to one. When the bot leaves the console window does not close. And I do not see any red sysop messages.

Can you copy+paste the actual output both for it connecting and after it disconnects? In XP, right-click and select "mark", then just click and drag the area you want to copy and hit enter.

You aren't running any plugins on the bot?
