Wierd problem has anybody see this ,

Have set_sv maxplayers set at 32 players. the game browser shows 32 players but when the server gets to 16 its says server is full for people trying to join ?

Game?

Opps sorry COD 4

Settings are the same for another server I had at another company (30 slot one game server) I transfered the whole dedicated server over and it does this ?

very strange.


Should not be a problem with the box as its a dual core conroe with a 100mb port

Hmmm, all I really know about is cPanel but experience has taught me to restart whatever process uses that configuration file..?

I restarted the server , I dont use cpanel its a windows 2003r2 .

Post your server.cfg and command line and let's take a look at what you have.

command line

iw3mp.exe +set dedicated 2 +set net_ip "my ip here 0.0.0.0 " +set sv_maxclients 30 +set sv_punkbuster 1 +set net_port 28960 +exec config.cfg +map_rotate

standard stuff of course Iput my real ip and rcon password in the right places .

What is the name of that config file and where is it located?

What is in the maprotation.cfg file?

config.cfg located in cod/main

Just map switching stuff.

I just reinstalled the server ,I think I might have had a croupt file somewhere. Also running mulit-servers and I started a shot gun only 16 player server after I started the 32 player pub server . Each server has its own copy but I dont know if that caused it or not. I shut down the 16 player one but still only 16 people could get on the 32 slot server. I lowered it to 30 today but its back to 32 now.

now if I could just get about 20 people on there to test it out .

75.125.207.100

Are all of the server running on different port or IPs?

each server was running on different ip addresses but the same port , I was think of using a diff port for one of them .

I did a fresh install so I wont know untill the server fills up again if its still stopping at 16 .
