I'm not sure if that would be possible if L4D2 is going to be a stand-alone game. It seems like the majority of the L4D community is going to move on to L4D2 anyways, but who knows. On Wed, Jun 3, 2009 at 11:25 AM, Munra wrote: > First I like to say this is not a debate topic on if L4D2 should

Before Valve fixed the team scrambling, there was a Sourcemod plugin that prevented it. But since they patched it and claimed to have fixed it, I rarely notice any problems. Every now and then you'll see 1 swap, but it's rare. I don't know if that plugin still works, but it cant hurt to look for it

Since the last update, sometimes a server will empty but will keep running with 4 bots sitting it. With the 4 bots, lobbies wont find the server since it appears to be active. A restart or even a simple map change fixes it I think. I could be wrong, but this is based off my observations so far. O

when you have a search key set on your server, it can only be accessed through a lobby if the lobby uses that search key. Or if they connect directly using ms_force_dedicated_server. Normal lobbies with no search key wont access the server. On Sun, Apr 26, 2009 at 5:05 PM, Jonah Hirsch wrote: >
