[hlds] Clients stuck in connecting state
Hi there, I've noticed a strange problem which is that on my windows TF2 servers, it seems that clients can get stuck in a "connecting" state and not time out from the server, occupying a slot but never joining. On a server that has been up for 4 days or so, and very busy in general maintaining 24/24, I now have 8 slots occupied by people who have never joined. This is how the rcon status looks: 16:47:12 hostname: Dustworld.net | TF2 UK Server #1 | 2Fort version : 1.0.0.0/8 3236 secure udp/ip : 193.238.84.97:27015 map : ctf_2fort at: 0 x, 0 y, 0 z players : 24 (24 max) # userid name uniqueid connected ping loss state adr # 932 "[HOP]SilentSimon" STEAM_0:1:x 112:50:48 46 0 connecting x:27005 # 3860 "bartosak" STEAM_0:0:x 23:06 81 0 active x:27005 # 3878 "Rab" STEAM_0:1:x 10:53 57 0 active 8x:27005 # 3870 "Markybhoy" STEAM_0:1:x 16:04 81 0 active 82.x7:27005 # 1621 "Prefect" STEAM_0:0:x 84:31:51 62 0 connecting 21x:27005 # 1185 "Danners" STEAM_0:1:x 101:38:21 34 0 connecting 8x8.20:27005 # 482 "boggot" STEAM_0:0:x 124:04:14 58 0 connecting 172x8.194:27005 # 9 "Aiken Drum" STEAM_0:1:x 140:17:36 43 0 connecting 8x1:27005 # 3881 "[DDOC]brynz0rz" STEAM_0:1:x 03:34 43 0 active 82x9.209:27005 # 3871 "ody" STEAM_0:1:x 15:17 80 0 active 86.1x.247:27005 # 3880 "Lensign-USN" STEAM_0:0:x 05:42 105 0 active 12x24:27005 # 3864 "Maddne$$" STEAM_0:0:x 19:48 62 0 active 17x2.166:27005 # 3849 "grayasin" STEAM_0:0:x 32:56 83 0 active 8x1.218:58874 # 3824 "1447" STEAM_0:0:x 1:22:40 66 0 active 8x118:38686 # 3882 "SilverFalcon" STEAM_0:1:x 00:32 163 74 spawning 24.x52:63551 # 3873 "Camper99" STEAM_0:1:x 14:05 54 0 active 84.x7:27005 # 431 "K.R."

I can kick these people off via console and free the slots up, but I just wondered if there was any way to set a connecting timeout for instance, so people who are "connecting" for more than 2 minutes are kicked? Or if anyone else has experienced this/got a solution? I'm not sure if this same problem occurs on linux as my linux publics aren't really popular enough to see at the moment.

Re: [hlds] Clients stuck in connecting state
-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I've seen this behavior in cs:s as well in a win2k3 environment, the only way to kick them was to use hlsw via rcon. Running status in game left no info nor was it possible to kick. Doesn't happen to often though I'd figure it was worth mentioning. Viewing externally with hlsw just seems to show a session was started though no connection was established. I've not seen this happen yet in TF2.

RE: [hlds] Clients stuck in connecting state
-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Hi All, I've have a friend who's had this problem from the client side, and it's to any server that he tries to connect to not just mine. The connecting process basically hangs at the "Retreiving Server Information" stage and never recovers. On the Server it shows them as connecting but they never actually join the game. On my server at least he eventually times out and the slot is free'd up. We haven't been able to find a solution yet, it's very frustrating. We've verified the game cache, disabled firewalls etc. About the only thing we haven't done so far is delete the local content and re-download it. We would also appreciate any suggestions to resolve this.
