Crap, its late here.. so there are some typo's in my mail! Sorry about that.
Just a correction. With sv_search_max_key I mean sv_search_max_ping Greets, Eric -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Namens Eric van Beesten Verzonden: maandag 24 november 2008 0:01 Aan: 'Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list' Onderwerp: [hlds] Connecting to a server is just terrible with l4d After the full version release i have big troubles with connecting to a server. I have installed 14 servers on a good server in my country, with a really low latency/ping on that server. But I never play on of that servers if I connect form the lobby (even when the servers are empty). Instead I play on france/Italy/german servers. I know about the sv_search_max_key, but I have the feeling it have no influence on the search. Beside the high ping I have the following problems: - server timeouts when connecting. 9 out of 10 I get a connection time out when I join a game. This way I have to retry to connect again. They only problem with the reconnecting is that my steamid is still active on the server. So I have to wait a few minutes to retry. - no connection (when the lobby is connecting I get 5 out of 10 the error that the client has connect 20 times to the server, but can't find a connection.. a strange thing is that I can see the server running in hlsw) - the laggy server... did I mention the laggy server? Owhh god.. it seems that my client only wants a laggy server to play on. - There is a other strange thing about the connection with l4d. When I get the timeout message I see all my gameserver go down in hlsw for 30 seconds. Even the counterstrike source/team fortress 2/counterstrike servers. My internet isn't down, because I stay connected with teamspeak or can browse the internet. I'm living in a country with a descent connection (the Netherlands) and I usually don't have any troubles with connection to server (hosting multiple games like tf2/css).. but when I play l4d I need to reconnect at least 2 or 3 times before I can play on a france/Italy/german server... I know this has mostly to do with client side, but I still think I'm not the only one with this problem. If you just a person who plays a game now and then, it is just frustrating (and not funny) to connect multiple times to a server before getting a descent one. I just want to feedback my experience to make left4dead a beter game.
