Are any of you setting the maxplayers cvar? This was a bit of a trick kinda employed in l4d(1) when people wanted to restrict a server to coop. Evil trick, but it sorta worked. Obviously it's not needed in l4d2, with the sv_gametypes flag... course, we do only have coop sofar with the demo.
I was kinda shocked when I first saw the server report maxplayers as 18, even if status suggest a max of 4. status <snip> os : Linux Dedicated map : c5m1_waterfront players : 0 humans, 0 bots (4 max) (hibernating) (unreserved) # userid name uniqueid connected ping loss state rate adr #end maxplayers "maxplayers" is "18" "mininum_maxplayers" is "18" "absolute_maxplayers" is "18" "default_maxplayers" is "18" "max_splitscreen_players" is "2" Little oddities. -Joe On Oct 29, 2009, at 10:19 AM, Brent Veal wrote: > I've noticed the same, however when it's 4/4 with less than 4 human > players, > there's no problem with other people joining.
