It's happening to us as well on the Forsaken mod. However, the 'sv_lan 1' and 'sv_lan 0' trick doesn't seem to work when the server is hosted in the US and people from Europe try to connect or vice versa. However if people from the same continent try to connect it works fine. Very bizarre.

It seems to be happening in my mod too (on Source) when hosting a listen server. Is this something gmod specific or is it happening to all source mods? At the moment to get around it people are switching sv_lan to 1 when they create their server and back to sv_lan 0 when it's created. This means that everyone is STEAMID_UNKNOWN though - which can't be good. ~garry On 12/8/05, Alfred Reynolds <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > This fix has been made public. > > - Alfred > > Alfred Reynolds wrote: > > We have released a fix for this in Beta form.
