L4D - Reserved for the lobby.

[Hazz]

Hi guys, another question I need answering.

People trying to connect through the server browser have been getting the message about the server being reserved for the lobby?

I have sv_allow_lobby_connect_only 0 set in server.cfg, so what could be causing it, I hear something about the sv_unreserve cvar but not sure what this does!

Thanks for any help.

i have tryed sv_unreserved many times and if its used for that, it doesnt work. if you want to play you would either have to wait for players to leave or kick them.

nope, thats when people actually join your server THROUGH the lobby, so the server locks the connection to only be accepted from the loby... so yeh.. I wish there was no reservation for that.

[Hazz]

Not sure if we are on the same page here...

When the server shows up as say 3/4 players and I try to join it displays the message....

[nizoo]

yup, even if its 1/4 it will still reserve it to the loby players, and if u hit quick match you will get into one of those games that has already been started I believe.

but yeh as fast as a lobby is connected to the server at first its reserved for the lobby.

Oh I seeeee, so theres no way to change this with the demo?

[nizoo]

I do not believe so, I hope its possible later on the actual version.

[Hazz]

Me too.

I have my copy of L4D arriving on the 21st, so not too long. I'll be changing the actual server instances on the 18th with the Steam release, so I'll see if this can be changed then.

Seems to be fixed with the latest updates, able to connect to my server fine through console when people are on the server from a lobby game.

One thing, I noticed when enabling the server browser through console, my server isn't appearing in the list, internet or custom tab....

Any ideas?
