Dedicated Server - Unable To Join Hang On Splash Screen

Recommended Posts

Hey guys, this issue appeared a couple of days ago when i updated the dedi server to run on the DEV build. I figured i would just wait and do a fresh install with the release build, but the problem has persisted.

The problem, although the server appears to be working fine, i cannot join the server, it just hangs on trying to load in (this is affecting all players trying to connect). Basically, you click to join the server, it goes to join but then sits on the connecting splash screen for some reason.

The best i can tell, its something to do with the server.cfg

If i do not define the .cfg the default game .cfg it uses seems to work fine. I can join the server no problems. Now i've been through the server.cfg and i cannot see anything that would cause this.

//-----------BIS Suggestions------------

//MinBandwidth = 320000;
//* Bandwidth the server is guaranteed to have (in bps). This value helps server to estimate bandwidth available. Increasing it to too optimistic values can increase lag and CPU load, as too many messages will be sent but discarded. Default: 131072

//MaxBandwidth = 10000000000;
//*Bandwidth the server is guaranteed to never have. This value helps the server to estimate bandwidth available.

//MaxMsgSend = 256;
//* Maximum number of messages that can be sent in one simulation cycle. Increasing this value can decrease lag on high upload bandwidth servers. Default: 128

//MaxSizeGuaranteed = 1024;
//*Maximum size of guaranteed packet in bytes (without headers). Small messages are packed to larger frames. Guaranteed messages are used for non-repetitive events like shooting. Default: 512

//MaxSizeNonguaranteed = 64;
//*Maximum size of non-guaranteed packet in bytes (without headers). Non-guaranteed messages are used for repetitive updates like soldier or vehicle position. Increasing this value may improve bandwidth requirement, but it may increase lag. Default: 256

//MinErrorToSend = 0.005;
//*Minimal error to send updates across network. Using a smaller value can make units observed by binoculars or sniper rifle to move smoother. Default: 0.01

//MaxCustomFileSize = 0;
//*Users with custom face or custom sound larger than this size are kicked when trying to connect.

Is there anyone else, experiencing similar issues?
