[Problems] Left4Dead 2 Versus Mode

[smor]

Hi everyone, I'm having a lot of trouble with Left4Dead 2 and getting it to stay in 8 player versus mode. I can get it to launch in versus mode, however after a round has been played it switches to a 4 slot versus mode server. So long as players stay on both teams it will continue to play in versus mode. I'm so totally lost on how this can even occur.

Besides the server.cfg and versus.cfg this is a vanilla server install. No addons, no other servers running.

Server: CentOS 5.5
CPU: Core i5 2.66ghz
RAM: 4gb
This is a dedicated server on a public IP hosted on a 100mbit line.

My start up command is:

Code:

./srcds_run -game left4dead2 -secure -sv_unlag 1 -maxclients 12 +map c1m1_hotel +exec versus.cfg -ip 173.234.9.65 -port 21015

The versus.cfg (/left4dead2/cfg/versus.cfg) (this is something that was suggested via google to allow you to kick the server into versus mode, however it's not staying in versus, sort of.)

Code:

map c1m1_hotel versus

And finally my server.cfg file

Code:

Thanks for any assistance you all can give! I've been pulling my hair out for 2 days now on this.

What if you specify an sv_gametypes in your config?

I have, that sv seems to have been removed after the passing was released. Neither sv_gametype or mp_gamemode change the server to versus or any other setup anymore.
