Its just stuck there.

The server console goes out of hybernation when trying to connect, loads the server.cfg and then stops doing anyting. After a while it goes back into hybernation.

The weird thing, that at some point I have been able to connect externaly and localy. And at the moment it seems pretty random when it works or not. I have played against random people joining my server, and against friends.

The problem is that I have no clue what is causing the issue atm. For I am not able to join the server, you can try the server is online at the moment.

I have tried:
sv_allow_lobby_connect_only 0
Adjusting the mapgroups
different gamemodes
A clean install
removing autoexec.cfg and server.cfg

Before the update from Aug 15th I was able to connect through LAN, but not externaly. Now both are giving the above problem. I am now running a clean install.

i experienced the same problem a couple of times this evening, although i was never able to connect to the server without encountering the problem first. My solution was to bring up the console in-game after trying to connect via the server browser. When the lines displayed in your post were displyed i typed connect 172.6......ETC, which took me in to the server.

My server was running on the same pc as the game client.

Hope this helps in idetifying the actual problem.

I have the same issue. It seems that I can connect every time no problem if someone is already in my server, if the server is empty, it is very difficult if not impossible to get in it. If I take the +net_public_adr out of the command, then I can get in no problem, but only people on my lan can get in.

With the +net_public_adr the internet can get on my server, but from my lan, I can only connect to the game if someone is already in it.

I have the same exact problem. Is it possible the game was designed this way to prevent permanent achievement farming? I guess killing bots doesn't count. I can only join the server outside my lan or when someone else is in the server. Any info on why this is happening would be great. I would really like to be able to try and populate my own server.

Thanks

Try adding +ip 0.0.0.0 it worked for me when I was running the server on my gaming rig.

Hi everyone, here is how I finally fixed this problem.

It seems server starts up in "hibernate" mode so I can not connect.

To fix I had to make it come out of hibernate using bots.

I had to put this in server.cfg:

Code:

// for some reason i must do this
bot_quota_mode normal
bot_add ct
bot_add t
bot_add ct
bot_add t
bot_kick

After this I can connect to my server from lan (it's sv_lan 0)
