32 slot TF2 server crashing at 25 players. HELP!

[blakez]

I just purchased a 32 slot tf2 server and as soon as the 25th person joins a team it crashes. The hosting company has no idea and is no help at all. This happened about 6 times so I had them move me to a new box with a fresh clean install and it happened again and I did not change 1 thing or install 1 mod. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

What provider are you with? they might just be the unscrupulous type and giving you a server and massively over-selling.

Also, try reinstalling your server. There might be something corrupted or something in those files.

DarkStarLLC. I re installed the server about 5 times and didn't edit 1 file. They even moved me to another box.

Well they decided to open my account back up under the conditions I fix the problem myself. Sooo still any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm thinking it has something to do with when servers over 24 players were delisted.... maybe?

Are there any weird settings that had to do with this or anything?

DarkStar is a little focused on Dedicated compared to actual game servers. Any of the configurations that would change player slots are on their side.

What are these configurations besides maxplayers?
