I managed to get the servers up and running w/ VAC; however it was a pain. Even with all servers set to not start automatically I had to restart each instance multiple times before it [VAC] would take.
After the 5th or 6th restart VAC magically started working. Hopefully it will stay enabled this time. I did notice that on two of our very busy server that VAC wouldn't enable if the server was under load. Basically I restarted the game and we had 25 people immediately connecting. When that happened VAC would not enable. If I locked the server and restarted (again, after multiple attempts) VAC would enable. I then unlocked the server and restarted and we were back in business. I do have some addition test instances on this machine if further testing is needed. Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Stuart Stegall Sent: Sunday, December 04, 2005 8:17 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [hlds] Server refuses to start secure It can be a "permanent" routing problem. While testing a new pop, I ran into issues where the edge routers at the new pop refused to route packets to any of the PunkBuster servers. We were able to clear this up with the peering partner and stopped having the routing problems. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Affordablegameservers.com Sent: Sunday, December 04, 2005 1:34 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [hlds] Server refuses to start secure i just keep restarting eventually it goes vac..... helps sometimes to shut off one server thats on the box...then bring up the one thats not vaccing and then get it to vac and then bring the other up. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Deacon - Digital Gaming eXtreme Sent: Sunday, December 04, 2005 2:27 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [hlds] Server refuses to start secure No joy. I delayed the start of each server and rebooted and it still isn't working. I'm hoping the upcoming bug fix you mentioned will correct the problem 14:25:23 hostname: [dgx] #16 - 24/7 Charlie - South version : 47/1.1.2.5 3305 insecure tcp/ip : 72.36.232.50:27015 map : dod_charlie at: 0 x, 0 y, 0 z players : 31 active (32 max) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alfred Reynolds Sent: Sunday, December 04, 2005 2:22 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [hlds] Server refuses to start secure Use the "status" command to check if your server is running in secure mode.
