L4D server problem

Megahurtz400 · 17 Dec 2008 at 16:49

When playing on my server, after the first map of every campaign, the server crashes out and everyone loses connection.

Any ideas as to whats up? :confused:

Ive restarted, updated and everything using control panel?

It's nothing to do with you. The servers have been acting up every since the game was released. Just depends if you get a good server or not.

I hope they fix it soon as it's getting annoying.

i wouldn't use the dedicated servers, host it locally. (unless thats what yir problem is)

Every time I've played, after every map or so i get disconnected, very rarely had a game that's lasted.

I'm on a wireless connection so I always put things down to that, but I'm starting to think its a steam problem.

say what now?

Can you give a single decent reason as to why a local server would be better than a dedi?

Megahurtz - can you post up your server.cfg file please? Obviously, edit out any passwords/etc.

I've dealt with several server issues similar to yours and it'll be a lot easier to diagnose with the config clearly visible

edit: Also the commandline you're using to start the server please.
