[resolved] Left 4 Dead (Score Board & Map Progress)

[2cold]

I have 2 issues here: 1. "The sacrifice update" has broken the score board, and map percentage progress. I have tried many ways to counteract this issue, installing 4 different Left 4 Dead servers and couldn't find anything related to it. The last server i installed to make sure i wasn't going crazy was add nothing but a server.cfg right after the server was done installing. Wen't in game and noticed neither the map percentage progress showed up, as well as the score next to my name, and would also show 0 score for both teams at the end of the round. So i know for a fact that the update has indeed broken the score and map percentage progress. Another reason is because it was working "before" The sacrifice update. Had a friend make a brand new server, and see if it does it to him, and sure enough it doesn't register, so i know there is a MAJOR BUG in this update.

Here's the proof:



Will be glad to provide any other information regarding this issue.

2. I have my servers start up on "l4d_vs_hospital01_apartment". The door where you start to go downstairs does not work anymore, you can sit there and press "E" a thousand times and it will never open, forcing you to go down through the skylight window. That's the least of my problems though. I have a few Left 4 Dead servers, and none of them work because of this update.

remove -netconport, -netconpassword, and -pingboost

Thanks for replying Mooga. I Didn't think that would cause a big issue, i'll try that and give the results.

Removed all three, there was also a new update addition to The Sacrifice update. Neither fixed the problem. Would you happen to know of anyone with a Left 4 Dead server, that can test this?

Is this a legal server or modded (nonsteam) server?

This is a "legal" server, and it's "not" modded. It's not even running on any plugins. It's a straight up vanilla server.

Would it be possible for you to read this?:



Just so we have all the basic information :-)

Yes... i have read that, and have posted all the basic info, i am not sure what other information your asking for. Clearly this is not a network issue, so there's no need to post the network info. So i am guessing your referring to the config issues, and you want me to post the server configuration?

Do other users have this same issue on your server?
Do you have this issue when connected to other servers?
Are these l4d servers hosted on your local LAN?

Yes other clients have the same issue on my servers, i also had a friend make a server to test to see if it does it to him, which resulted in the same thing. Would be nice to get someone else to make a server and test this.

I do not have this issue when i connect to others servers, not that i have witnessed yet, which is odd...

They are all hosted on a dedicated server.

Tested it again only i played into the second round. Spawned as infected when i joined the server, switched to survivor and played through the map to the end of the round. The Score and Map Progress didn't register the first time around. The second time around i spawn as infected, and this time it did register. So this is a very unique issue i have never experianced before.

Looks like you might have to wait for a bugfix...

Well for some reason when i removed i removed what "Mooga" has stated and it never worked, so i thought this is crazy. I tried it again, only removing one by one. First starting with -nohltv, and going in game and see what the status is if it's showing any average distance, or usually you see a 0 next to your name stating that you have 0 points at the starting of the map, as well as the average distance which should be 1% by default. So when i was looking at that i noticed when i got to -pingboost and removed it. I wen't into game the 0 showed up next to my name and the average distance was 1% correctly shown. So i put -pingboost back on the command line to see if the score and distance goes away, sure enough it did. Kept trying it back and forth just to make sure it was definitely -pingboost. Looks like it was the root of the problem. So weird why it never registered the first time i removed it. Anyways problem solved.
