PC Webadmin Change Map does not return to Server Info after map is loaded

[®omano]

Category: Code / Webadmin

Reproducibility: Always

Description: When you force a map change from the web admin, it should return to Server Info page just after the map is loaded on the server. But since last update it simply stays at the map loading page for a moment before eventually going to the Server Info page. You can see it tries to reload something in the web browser but it just loops rapidly and only eventually go to Server Info page after a while.

Before last update the Server Info page was called immediately after the map was loaded, but now it loops something rapidly for a moment, THEN it goes to Server Info page. So web admin still works but there is definitely something wrong happening.

Online/Offline: Online

I just investigated more on the issue, here is a simple video to show you the problem. I restarted my web browser (Firefox) in SAFE MODE but the result is exactly the same (tried in normal mode and then tried in safe mode, when I recorded this video).

Basically the loop is infinite, and to break this infinite loop you need to open and VIEW the Server Info page, then the map loading page will correctly go to the Server Info page. You can see a Server Monitoring tool called HLSW I use to check when the map is fully loaded on the server (you can find it here https://hlswfixes.com). You also see the integrated developer tools in Firefox to monitor what happens on the Network side..

I just noticed I did not mention this is on the RELEASE PREVIEW BUILD

I tried this on every official map (Survival and Versus mode) prior to release of the preview build and twice after reading this bug report and was unable to reproduce this issue using Chrome as my web browser. The page refreshed as it did in previous builds without issue. Can you please try an alternate web browser (and make sure you have any extensions disabled in Firefox) and let me know if you get different results? Thanks!

As I said I ran Firefox in safe mode (like a first launch without anything installed). With Internet Explorer it does not work either (started its 64bit version, went to webadmin, changed map and it stayed on this page). I do not have Chrome.

EDIT: the page on internet explorer eventually loaded the server info page after I wrote this message.

Tried with fresh config files and problem is still there.

Same behavior with Steam overlay Web Browser. After map is loaded it stays on the map loading page. After I open and view the Server Info page in new tab, the map loading page unlocks and go to Server Info too..

UP, this issue is only on KF2, not in RO2, RS, RS2, you did something in an update that broke it somewhere. Look at webadmin modificatons from before 11-16-2016.

This is in our bug list however it is currently a low priority issue as it does not impact gameplay or sever management.
