Server won't play Metro.

Post by badbadrobot »

So our server refuses to play Metro, even tho it's in the map list. It'll be the next one on the list and then it just plays the previous map again and never moves to metro. Anyone else seeing this?

I know that they enforce which maps can play on their end, and it's possible that that's coming into play, but I haven't seen issues with our test servers.

If you're running Procon, make sure that you are running the latest version, with support for the new maps.

On my server, I have an long map list with maps from SA, CR, and Vanilla in the rotation. But the server only plays Oman, Metro, and Firestorm. It won't play Caspian nor anything else. I tried manually setting the next map to Silk Road and once it was on Silk Road, the server promptly crashed. I don't know what's going on right now...

Using just our tools, or using some other tools?

I have Procon and used it to set next map. I've since disabled Procon layer to see if it's procon that's causing this problem.

Yeah, my servers keep going back to the beginning or somewhere near the beginning of the rotation after playing a couple maps. I dunno what the hell is going on. I haven't kept a close enough eye on it to figure out what exactly is going on...

Hmmm! Are you able to tell EXACTLY what is going on and what the bug might be or what causes it? I'm just gonna run all SA maps now and hope it actually runs through all of them without switching back up to previous maps.

Tim, running all SA maps you'll still experience it. No idea what's causing it but server is not following the set map rotations.

Did you give it a couple of minutes to take effect?

Outside of that, I can check the logs to see whether it's actually doing that, if you open a support request, but it's something I've never seen before.

I'm very interested to see someone test a server with all 3rd-party tools disabled. That's how all of my testing has been done and I have not seen problems with the maps. We had a test server that was busy for several hours last night running them in rotation.
