Patch 1.6 gig Restart STEAM

Yep, the same player reconnected right after his first attempt and "Server gone. POOF!"

Had these same issues trying to host a dedicated server post-patch. Will keep an eye on the forum and try again once a fix is posted.

Server hosting problems I seem to have are that the name for people joining seem to always be "Player?" no idea if that is a scripted thing or not on ubers end.

Before this update I could run a dedicated but it would hang on the first connection to it, today's patch allowed 3 people to connect but then it hung again about 20 seconds in. I have all the right ports open I believe if people are able to see it and join inn briefly.

So my issue is that players logging in will crash the server for some unknown reason, and running as a listen server has the same results.

Just for the record, I have no issues with the actual lobby, but while ingame. I think the issue relies on native level not closing down all connections made by players correctly (hence why my server reached 51 connections and crashed - 50 is Unreal Engine maximum -).

this is how i crash wen i host.


Start the game up
Create Server and set the settings
Then i start the game
my mates try to join true steam friends but cant connect so the try server browser.
Wen the click join my game locks up and theres 2.


thats how its going every time.

Wen i host dedi server true the game it starts up and then 7 players connect with the name player and thats it.
nothing more happens and no one can join it.

Yeah when I tried running a dedicated I had the same problem with the number just climbing higher and higher.

Just for the heck of it I tried hosting a listen server. Completed one map (finished before overtime, so not a full 17 minutes, probably less than 10) and then it crashed a minute or so into the second map.

Since you can't see the server window when you're running a listen server I don't know if it that's why I crashed this time, but I suspect it might be since the timing is right.

Run the game with -log or type showlog in the console to toggle the console window. Everything is logged in a Logs-file found in My Document/My Games/Unreal Engine 3 if you want to look back to what happened while running a listen server.

here are all my logs

Thanks.

A little offtopic, but you have to set steam to not automaticly update for you by right clicking the game and clicking properities, then going to updates.

If there is a patch then it will ask you to update when you try to start the game.
