I was wondering if someone could shed some light on my issue? I run a L4D server from home and have had no issues until now. I had to reload my Server OS (From WinXP to Win2k3) and no one can now join my server. But, the server fills from the lobby. Since the server fills from the lobby, My port forwarding isn't an issue. Players can not join the server via the connect command in console. But players can join threw the lobby.
Server specs are:
P4 3.0
4GB Ram
250GB SATA II Drive
10/100/1000 Intel NIC
Verizon FIOS 20/5 connection.
Here is a copy of my server.cfg.
//Server Host Name
hostname "|TGP| House Of Horror L4D - Dedicated US"
// Rcon Cvars
rcon_password "*****" //Set’s remote control password
//Server Password
sv_password "*****" //Sets Password on server
// Server Cvars
mp_disable_autokick 1 //Prevents a userid from being auto-kicked
sv_allow_color_correction 0 //Allow or disallow clients to use color correction on this server.
sv_allow_wait_command 0 //Allow or disallow the wait command on clients connected to this server.
sv_allow_lobby_connect_only 0 //Allows Clients to join thru Lobby
sv_alltalk 1 //Players can hear all other players, no team restrictions
sv_alternateticks 0 //If set, server only simulates entities on even numbered ticks.
sv_clearhinthistory 0 //Clear memory of server side hints displayed to the player.
sv_consistency 1 //Whether the server enforces file consistency for critical files
sv_contact "*****" //Contact email for server sysop
sv_downloadurl "" //Location from which clients can download missing files
// Lan or internet play, Server region cvars
sv_lan 0 //Server is a lan server ( no heartbeat, no authentication, no non-class C addresses )
sv_region 0 // Region Codes: 0 - US East coast, 1 - US West coast, 2 - South America, 3 - Europe, 4 - Asia, 5 - Australia, 6 - Middle East, 7 - Africa, 255 - world
// Server Logging
sv_log_onefile 0 //Log server information to only one file.
sv_logbans 1 //Log server bans in the server logs.
sv_logecho 0 //Echo log information to the console.
sv_logfile 1 //Log server information in the log file.
sv_logflush 0 //Flush the log file to disk on each write (slow).
sv_logsdir “logs” //Folder in the game directory where server logs will be stored.
//Server Rates
sv_maxcmdrate 100 //(If sv_mincmdrate is > 0), this sets the maximum value for cl_cmdrate.
sv_unlag 1
sv_maxunlag .5
//Fix to get your server onto the master lists
setmaster add 68.142.72.250:27011
setmaster add 72.165.61.189:27011
sv_steamgroup 600951 //this is your group’s steam group id.. allows members to join from main menu add
sv_steamgroup_exclusive 0 //to make it exclusive and private
z_difficulty Hard //this is the difficulty setting (Easy, Normal, Hard, Impossible)
I am at my whits end on this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
