Server hang on map restart.

Has anyone else seen this? When you are connected to a server via webadmin and the game ends the server will hang while recycling the map. The server then needs to be killed and restarted. I'm not sure if it does this on a full map change or if it does it only when the Chaos mut is running. I will try to test that but I won't have a chance for a couple days. Can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks.

Server is a Xeon based Win2K server. Latest Epic patch 3236. It runs CCTF and ONS. The problem appears to affect both. I also saw it happen with the 3204 patch but never had time to pursue it.

UTAdmin by TBone. But I remember seeing it do this before I put that in place. It works fine if you restart or change maps through WebAdmin but if the game is won and the map recycles while WebAdmin is connected it will hang. Kind of irritating since the only access I have to the server is through WebAdmin when I'm at home.

Sorry to hear that, as your servers have become favorites of mine.

Wish I knew what to tell you Face, other than please hang tight, I'm sure somebody will have an idea and try to help you.

Thanks R.Flagg. It's really not too big of a deal, just really annoying. The solution for now is to stay out of WebAdmin. I can do most things I need to in game anyway.

BTW. I did get the long map change times fixed. I had to tweak the virus protection a little. Map changes went from 1-2 minutes to 15 seconds. Now if I could get the stutter when you hit the first weapon locker in ONS figured out I would be all set.

Happy gaming.

The stutter when you hit a weapon locker is because it has to pull up the textures and stuff for all the weapons at once. The same thing happens if you type mutate madfragger into the console (our version of loaded).

Ahh. That makes sense. Thanks Jedi. I won't worry about the stutter then. That was the last issue that was bothering me so I will focus on getting things tweaked. It's mostly there now but I want to try a few different things.

Try? It is frag or be fragged! There is no "try"!
