The problem is, in the start command line the server is set to a specific port, example 27030. But in the screen it writes. " Network: IP 92.246.12.12, mode MP, dedicated Yes, ports 27030 SV / 27031 CL"
The server side is set to 27030, but then the client side takes 27031, and there the problem starts, as there is another server on 27031. And when it trys to start it's port I taken by the previous one on the client side. Why is it that the client side on some severs take the next port but on others take "-1" in screen ?

It try port + 1 until it find a free port. There are other games that work the same way, so I think you should make a fix on your side since you are not supposed to start a server on a port that is already used. Checking if that the port is available using netstat before you launch a server is the best way, and you can also make a sleep between the server kill and the server start. We are hosting about 5.000 and have no issue with this new port management. We do also reboot most servers in the morning. Cheers, Marc.
