@Dss0 Also that's just a firewall rule, this is your pc at home and not a vps right? Since you're also trying to play the game on the same machine. So in that case a firewall rule won't suffice, you have to forward the port in your router.

@Kajuiz Your key is in the wrong place. You are meant to place it in the set key= on line 3, not in the variable in line 21.

That's an unclean repack and probably fucks with system dlls, delete that whole folder and follow this guide to redownload the game files.

@ZODGAMINGYT post a screenshot of your server folder.

@zKasuro probably not as the server would still report your wan ip to the master server instead of the ngrok url.

@DBCooper The config and mapname conbinations are in "Maps and the matching configs" in dedicated_zm.cfg in main. In the server console do set sv_maprotation "exec config map mapname" press enter and then type map_rotate and again press enter.

@Dss0 alright cool, thank you

@Xerxes Thank you, the server works now ! i placed all the config files in t6_pluto\main now the heartbeat is successful and i can see my server in the serverlist ! Edit: just tried it with a friend and it works, thanks i just have custom classes disabled for some reason

I still have the problem, and my MP server still crash multiple time per day. gungame/zm seems ok... Interesting thing, in the log file the game launch line change sometime: at game launch it start with \g_gametype for some reason it become \com_maxclients\18 after some time + \party_maxplayers\18 : I did not add this ! Not sure it is what make it crash but I thing this is why my server fall back to 18 max player after some time... I attached crashdump / cfg files: link text Note: interesting thing: I am facing an internet connection issue at the moment, and it may be related because disconnection time seems to match crash time. I will keep monitoring it..

@N0cs please do delete the server key on https://platform.plutonium.pw/serverkeys as you just leaked your key. Also make sure that your user can read and execute the dll.

bind F5 fast_restart would work for private match, dedis you'd have to login to rcon then do a rcon fast_restart, can be done with binds though.

@LaViejaNikson how u make it work

You can host them with wine already.

@CPL said in [Bug] Server hangs upon launch: Unfortunately the hung server still appears in the public API, but not in the in-game server browser. So this method cannot be used. Which makes that, contrary to your statement, perfect to check the server. Grab all servers from the API with a given list of Endpoints (get that from iw4ma) Send query packages to them. They reply? Perfect, they are up. They don't? Try again a few times in case they are changing map. They still don't reply? Kill the server.

i diid it but no some thing happend

@Extradip post a screenshot of your server directory and the contents of your batch files.

@TheLininii a simple way to check if other people are seeing the server is to look at the server console. If you see "ping request from xxxx" it is listed and there is nothing to worry about, just use the connect command to connect yourself. If not there is still smth wrong with the forwarding or firewall rules.
