While I didn't go with NO server.cfg I did go with a server.cfg and just listed a hostname. Our box seems to consistantly crash about every 5 minutes (with or without peeps on), I'm hoping things improve next week.
win2k3-64x, dual xeon 5405 quad core harpertown processors, 4gb 1066 ddr2, 146gb 15krpm raptor For the sake of pissing everyone off I just shut it down... Sometimes when I start my test server with sv_unreserve it just keeps starting over and over so I finally just removed it. sv_allow_lobby_connect_only 0 by itself (no sv_tags) seems to be ok right now (server fills immediately with that setting). I'm not sure why it was causing problems before but it was (perhaps Valve did something on the backend). ----- Original Message ----- From: "Patrick Shelley" To: "Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list" <hlds@list.valvesoftware.com> Sent: Sunday, November 09, 2008 2:26 AM Subject: Re: [hlds] More players with no server.cfg > Kevin - what about keeping unreserve in the cfg as well - or remove that > to? > Patrick :) > > > > On 11/9/08, AnAkIn . wrote: >> >> Also, I can connect fine to my server from a lobby when >> sv_allow_lobby_connect_only is 0 (with sv_unreserve). >> >> But as I said in my previous e mail, when you leave the server, you can't >> connect to it any more through a lobby unless you restart it (or probably >> change map, didn't test). >> >> 2008/11/9 AnAkIn .>> >> >> > It just seems to depends on how long sv_tags is. >> > sv_tags aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa >> > doesn't work, I can't connect from a lobby. >> > sv_tags aaaa >> > works, I can connect from a lobby. >> > >> > >> > An other issue, which seems to be unrelated to my server settings >> (sv_tags >> > and sv_allow_lobby_connect_only didn't change anything to it) : >> > >> > Once you connect to the server through a lobby, if you leave the >> > server, >> > and try to join it again from a lobby, it will just tell you "no >> dedicated >> > server found".
