Re: [hlds] TF2 Quickplay Issue

[Essay Tew Phaun]

So uh, let's not split hairs over the word rank, okay. I have a good
Quickplay score that, prior to a day or so ago, brought players in quickly
and regularly without fail. That essentially stops dead in it's tracks as
of a few days ago. I'm going to go with a problem with Quickplay rather
than an over saturation of servers.

Re: [hlds] TF2 Quickplay Issue

[ics]

For those that wonder, the commands are con_logfile putsomenamehere and 
tf_matchmaking_spew_level 4


However, while i did the search, i noticed something off. There's 3 
values that are kind of important in the output, those are  user score, 
server score and total score. I did a check on some of my servers and 
this is what they had months ago:


Server 1: 0.9400, 5.6867, 6.6267
Server 2: 0.9280, 6.0250, 6.9530
Server 3: 0.8840, 6.0500, 6.9340

And now today:

Server 1: 0.8440, 6., 7.1773
Server 2: 0.9040,-94.,-93.0960
Server 3: 0.8840,-94.,-93.1160

It seems that some of my servers are taking penalty against quickplay 
for reasons i have no idea and atleast one of the servers (which was 
least populated before) is taking a lot of traffic instead. This way 
also explain why some other peoples servers are not getting traffic even 
though they were getting that before. All my servers have been quickplay 
eglible and packing most time of the day but recently they have not been 
as full on morning / day as they used to be. I don't think it's surplus 
of active servers that is causing this but luckily quickplay isn't the 
only way to have players on a server.

There are couple of console commands that will make you log output to 
logfile and set spew level to maximum. I cant remember or check the 
command now, type find spew into console to search for it. Anyway, if 
you set them on, do a quickplay search, you can look for the logfile 
later on if your servers are on top of the list or not or even among 
the selectd from which the server where you will be put into after 
search completes. Basically its self explanatory after you look that 
file output. Propably the best meter there is.

Re: [hlds] TF2 Quickplay Issue

[ics]

There is never going to be a "top list" of servers with positions 1,2,3,4 etc, 
there is just going to be x-count of servers that are "good" to be assigned 
players for.

There are couple of console commands that will make you log output to logfile 
and set spew level to maximum. I cant remember or check the command now, type 
find spew into console to search for it. Anyway, if you set them on, do a 
quickplay search, you can look for the logfile later on if your servers are on 
top of the list or not or even among the selectd from which the server where 
you will be put into after search completes. Basically its self explanatory 
after you look that file output. Propably the best meter there is.

Re: [hlds] TF2 Quickplay Issue

[Leon Hunter]

Thanks for the charming link Damon, I think I can do one better than your
lmgtfy (troll) link though.

 

A) In case you haven't noticed in your infinate wisdom, Gametracker is a
third party site, probably run by a Game Server Provider or some other party
with a vested interest in server ranking, that doesn't use the same method
as Valve to establish server ranks. There are a lot of servers that
Gametracker considers great, that actually are shit in both reality and
Valve Rankings. Automatically assuming your server is awesome on Valve Ranks
because a third party site says so is a false assumption, so I wouldn't be
complaining that there is a "quick play issue" when you can't even remotely
establish the position of your own server on Valve's system beyond "good" or
"bad". Else it's like saying "I RUN MY OWN RANKING SITE AND MY SERVER IS
AWESUM, WHY VALVE NO QUIKPLAH?!".

 

B)  I know how TF2 servers are ranked, I run 40 of them and as a
responsible server owner I keep up to date with all Valve related news.
You're more than welcome to drop by any of them anytime you wish. However to
suggest that knowing *how* servers are ranked automatically means you know
your server's score in comparison with other servers is a bit of a
stretch.Unless of course you're suggesting the OP has no life and sits there
with a stop watch timing how long each player stays? Even then, he wouldn't
all the other server's scores to compare his own with.

 

To think, I didn't even need a lmgtfy link to make you look like a moron.
Though, hopefully my response has demonstrated that anyone who uses a lmgtfy
link in response to a legitimate question (that being, I didn't think you
could check your Valve server ranks so why are people saying "I have a
highly ranked server" as if the workings of a third party site are remotely
relevent to how quickplay works) just looks like a smug idiot and gets a
response as such.

Re: [hlds] TF2 Quickplay Issue

Forgive me for sounding naive, but how do you know your server is highly
ranked? Last I checked you could only check server standing and the rank
trend (up or down).

 

I also understand that the ranks are "scores" and scores are comparative not
absolute, so you'd personally need to know the position of every other
server to know your own.

Always possible, but we have a very highly ranked server experiencing this
issue.

May sound silly but with the pyro update I bet there are an over saturation
of servers and the update hype has died down meaning more empty or not
quite full servers. Happens near every major update.

Same issue here. It is topping out in the mid teens on all of our servers.

You lot are lucky you can even get yours to fill. We have about 16 
people on and quizkplay still doesnt kick in.

Thanks to both of you who replied. I just wanted to make sure it was not an 
isolated problem.

Re: [hlds] TF2 Quickplay Issue

[Franco Valerio]

Same here, but not all.
Sometimes the game crashes when map changes or when you disconnect from the 
server. I notice because most of the time my server are full and now the server 
are 16/24, etc.
Many people in spuf and my community began to complain about this problem. So I 
think is a game problem.

Hey all,

I don't often post here, but this time I felt it was important. I help managed 
some TF2 servers, but I notice that as of late Quickplay has become less 
reliable. It disconnects more often, and sometimes even requires a server 
reboot to fix. More importantly, since the most recent updates on the 11th and 
13th of July, Quickplay no longer fills the server. It works up until around 
16-19 players, and then it dies out without helping the server reach 21-24 (the 
server maximums). Has anyone else noticed this?

Is there any way to check if it is actually working?

Re: [hlds] TF2 Quickplay Issue

[Cameron Munroe]

My servers don't apply for quickplay connects, but we have been having 
issues with disconnects from quickplay for awhile. I think in all likely 
hood that the quickplay management servers are simply overloaded with 
traffic and are dropping clients/servers. It is also likely that it also 
what handles TF2 Trading which might explain some of the issues, but I 
have no idea on the inter workings of valve so I might be just as easily 
wrong.
