server no longer working

[mauvehead]

A few days ago I setup my first SRCD server in Ubuntu Linux using information on this forum. Per friends suggestions I changed my tickrate to 100, and now the server won't run with or with out the changes.

Here is the output

At this point it hangs. You cannot query it from Steam, and you cannot type anything at the console (no text will appear if you try). Here are the tickrate changes I had made:

Added on startup command: +fps_max 600 -tickrate 100
Added to orangebox/tf/cfg/server.cfg: sv_maxrate 20000 sv_maxupdaterate 100

This is a Dual Xeon 2.4GHz machine with 4GB of physical memory. It is sitting on a shared 4Mbit/4Mbit link. It runs Ubuntu 7.10. I also reran the ./steam update and this has had no effect.

Since doing this, I cannot load my server. If I remove all of the above changes, I still cannot load my server. Anyone know what is going on here?

he
first of all -tickrate is a mani-admin plugin thing .and i cant see that yr running mani.
Try another map. After the last update there has bin removed some maps.

Wow, not once have I seen anything any where tell me -tickrate is not part of the main application. That's a shock. Even the FAQs here on this forum don't mention it. I'll try the map thing, but I HIGHLY doubt Valve would remove 2fort.. The entire scene would descend upon their building and tar and feather all the developers if they removed 2fort.

tickrate is NOT a mani exclusive option, it's part of the source engine.

Well, I'm not at home so I can't verify, but it looks like it may be working again. But, I didn't change anything.. I guess I'll have to test it tonight after work.

sorry for upsetting u guys by the tickrate thing.i always think
that was only in mani that the command tickrate was valid.
remember its only a beta ,so anything is possible.

[Drocona]

no problem nix, you learn something everyday

the -tickrate command actually has nothing to do with mani at all, mani just makes a message ingame what you set it to

[BloodyIron]

you dont need to use the -secure flag, VAC runs always unless you dont have ports forwarded.

mauvehead did you get this resolved? If so can you share the details?

I have the same problem !

I can see m[/code]y server in steam, (i added it to my favorites), but then i can't get information about it, and i can't join it !
