Valve (Eric, Erik, Yahn), Did you fix the WON servers yet? Last I heard was that they were going to get cleared up over a few days. Well, my servers had problems keeping players the past 2 weekends and now here it is Monday and my TFC servers remain unplayable.
Why? Players can see my server, then connect (which may cause problems at times due to some timeouts) and then play for maybe a few minutes to only get dropped. I have wasted too much time trying to track this down. Here are my observances: 1) HLDS console shows no errors. It's not even crashing because it doesn't have a chance to, I guess. 2) HLDS console shows that users are dropping due to timeouts. 3) Server's Internet connection is rock solid on a DS3. I verified this so many ways. No hiccups and no port floods. 4) Situation happens on all latest beta patches. 5) No AdminMOD installed or anything else that could be causing problems. 6) System resources are barely touched with nearly 1 GB free memory. 7) CPU processors are hardly used with peaks of 5% during map changes. =\ 8) There is nothing else on the server that can be causing this problem. This has been a very frustrating month dealing the the problems that plague 4108x. I've lost many regulars and even my own guild members keep wondering why other servers around don't have the problem that I'm experiencing. I really don't have a clue except that the problem with the HLDS servers are definately not on my end. All I ask, is if you need any information from me to help fix this and whether you have some sort of timeframe? Any other fellow admins experiencing these problems? All of those that I was aware of that had the same problems have dropped their HLDS servers and have moved on to other games. I'd rather not go there though.
