Time out after server update?

[evilscam]

I did the server update. I can join the server and stay in spec mode. If I go to a team the game freezes and kicks you out after 20 seconds (client time out). This is not just for me but anybody trying to join the server.

Anybody know why it's doing this?

I have the exact same issue. I have even removed all my plugins and addons as well.

Hope they fix this soon.

I lost a lot of $$ last time this happened.

I though I was the only one. Thank god. My community has no servers for the night... Have to love steam at times :/

I installed a new server with no mods no nothing and I'm getting the same issues...

[The009]

what os do you run?

[evilscam]

CentOS 5

[Severian]

Same thing here on RHE 5.2.

If I restart the server enough times, it'll eventually get lucky and run.

It's being reported a bunch on the hlds_linux mailing list too.

Did steam release a fix for our servers? I cannot find anything.

any real problems? I get similar messages all the time on CS:S...

[colwulf]

funny smart (colorful adjective) because if this when players connect they just get disconnected from server when joining a team\spectator.... i have tried uninstalling reinstalling entire DOD... with same results... i have tried standal0one installs same results... you have any thing useful to say?

[evilscam]

add this to your start string and your server should work. It helped with mine.

Worked beautifully. Thanks!

yes, be more friendy with the ppl that want to help you. it's your fault if you get such answers, because your post lacks of any detail. I see only messages that seem quite normal.

Ok, now I notice that your server.cfg couldn't be executed. Maybe your server isn't configured at all...

THANK YOU SO MUCH. I spent forever trying to work out what was doing this, I even reinstalled and sent valve an email about it. Only to find that all it needed was that.
