Thanks for the post Cam, I belive I have been clear. I am fully aware of reserved slots verses spawn points as I am a map maker myself.
The issue it appears starts out with a custom map with limited spawn points that then compounds over many other map loads. In a matter of a days use of full server load several slots become spoken for but not released. There are no steam ID's asosciated with them I am using Ingame Steam Browser, HLSW and phpUA to view the server player list. It will report 24/24 with only 20 or as low as 6 players actully on. This seems to be some sort of memory type hole that is causing the server to hold on to these slots as if they where in spec mode but not have anyone actully associated with them. The main questions is 1. Is anyone else seeing this? And 2. Is there a command to issue that will flush the slots short of a full server restart?
