I don't know if it is a configuartion or not. but if i know something about this thing. that it is very annoying.
My problem:
I am hosting a server of TF2 On My Windows 8.1 Machine *i use start.bat*
And everything is normal and all sourcemod and metamod install alright? server.cfg is ok.
But i notice people cannot connect to the server UNLESS. i connect first.
as in:the server works. but people can only join. if the Host connect first from LAN then others can join. which means if i leave. No one can connect if there is 0 players in. which is bad if i want to go afk
and people can still play around there. i think this is sleep mod. How can i solve this to be ALLWAYS
Online even if there is no one on the server. that way people can connect from the IP While there is no one there. i have port forwarded 27015 and 27005 *Which works in gmod/l4d2/tf2/half life 1/2 as far i tested*
Please if there is any way to Make it allways online i would be thankful since i dont want to waste money on a Remote control server which will mean that i have to pay monthly and might also have the same bug. Thanks shy.
