Getting stuck at retrieving Server Info

Post by The Erik Sun Mar 01, 2009 1:43 am

Like many other servers, Bam's server also suffers from this issue, that requires a map change or a restart.

i've been searching a bit on this subject, and it seems to be related to:

- One of the recent steam updates
- too many networked variables and console commands.
- possibly stargate or Spacebuild
once you've tryed joining and getting stuck, the console outputs this error:

Netchannel: failed reading message net_SetConVar from 195.242.237.26:27027.

my question is: is there any way that we can debug this, except from crashing the server, while we wait for Valve to develop a solution?

For a while i've been wanting to ask, if Operators could get the ability to remotely restart the server, if possible.
But it's up to you Bam :]

I've been working on a "sub-users" panel recently, to allow Operators to restart the server =] Bare with me Very Happy

Well, with MY feelings towards Steam.... I blame them for everything.. if I drop my toast butter-side down, Steam's fault. ^^
