Server Big Server

[Volcom_Ren]

Hey guys!

I am Volcom. I own Rencorner.com. We currently have 6 killing floor servers. I am having an issue with my Big server. It runs perfectly fine but then the map ends it boots everyone from the game and then takes like 5 minutes before people can rejoin. Meanwhile on the console it looks like it is running normally. It is also like it isn't connecting with steam or something. If anyone has any ideas please let me know as it is quite annoying. I am running the force max players, Server Perks V6, Anti-BlockTrader, and Show Patriarch HP. Please help me out. My community and I would be very grateful.

This isn't really related to your question, but you don't need to run the anti-block mutator anymore. They integrated that in the last patch, so now collisions are automatically disabled during Trader time.

Thanks for letting me know! Do you have any idea on my actual issue? Maybe come to my teamspeak if you could be of some help. It would be greatly appreciated by my community and me. Ts.rencorner.com

Thanks in advanced.

Sorry I wouldn't have a clue, I don't have heaps of experience running servers (I only run one on my local computer) and never with more than 6 slots or with custom maps.

Double check on which maps it does it on. There is a bug that is freezing up the servers and doesn't reset itself, whereas yours might be. Is there anyway of checking if the server is actually restarting completely or just slow loading?​

 

[Volcom_Ren]

On the console it looks completely fine. It displays everything like it is normally running. It just appears on steam with a "?" for like 5 minutes then finally connects. It does it after every map.

 

[FluX]

have you made any changes to the main dedicated server itself recently?

 

[Volcom_Ren]

No, it has done this since I created it.

Last week I set it so it only ran the one map, it'd still error. What it does is during map loads it just hangs...you can sit on there for 15 minutes and it doesn't load anything. The console never freezes or "crashes", it just does the hang thing.
Today it did one extra weird thing, while I was sitting in the lobby part, it swapped maps on its own to Manor, it seemed like it went down again, but it worked fine(up until everyone died in the one round).
Here's the PC specs if you need it:

Does anyone have any ideas? Add me on Steam Volcom_Ren

Validate server installation files using steamcmd verify.

Try to run server without any mods.
Then start to test server adding mods one by one and check its behaviour.


Once we also had issue under Linux - we were hostig over 6 unreal based games on the same IP, and apparently that was the issue. We increased port ranges on which the servers were listening, and later we had to move some servers to separate IP addresses.

I changed some ports and now it shows up on steam as a 6 player server but on the console it says 32. It seems to broadcast and let people join now, but the players say 6 :S
