Thanks for the charming link Damon, I think I can do one better than your lmgtfy (troll) link though.
A) In case you haven't noticed in your infinate wisdom, Gametracker is a third party site, probably run by a Game Server Provider or some other party with a vested interest in server ranking, that doesn't use the same method as Valve to establish server ranks. There are a lot of servers that Gametracker considers great, that actually are shit in both reality and Valve Rankings. Automatically assuming your server is awesome on Valve Ranks because a third party site says so is a false assumption, so I wouldn't be complaining that there is a "quick play issue" when you can't even remotely establish the position of your own server on Valve's system beyond "good" or "bad". Else it's like saying "I RUN MY OWN RANKING SITE AND MY SERVER IS AWESUM, WHY VALVE NO QUIKPLAH?!". B) I know how TF2 servers are ranked, I run 40 of them and as a responsible server owner I keep up to date with all Valve related news. You're more than welcome to drop by any of them anytime you wish. However to suggest that knowing *how* servers are ranked automatically means you know your server's score in comparison with other servers is a bit of a stretch.Unless of course you're suggesting the OP has no life and sits there with a stop watch timing how long each player stays? Even then, he wouldn't all the other server's scores to compare his own with. To think, I didn't even need a lmgtfy link to make you look like a moron. Though, hopefully my response has demonstrated that anyone who uses a lmgtfy link in response to a legitimate question (that being, I didn't think you could check your Valve server ranks so why are people saying "I have a highly ranked server" as if the workings of a third party site are remotely relevent to how quickplay works) just looks like a smug idiot and gets a response as such.

Last I checked you could only check server standing and the rank trend (up or down). I also understand that the ranks are "scores" and scores are comparative not absolute, so you'd personally need to know the position of every other server to know your own. -Leon From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Essay Tew Phaun Sent: Sunday, 15 July 2012 11:15 AM To: Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds] TF2 Quickplay Issue Always possible, but we have a very highly ranked server experiencing this issue.

Restarting seemed to fix this, and my feeling is that its quickplay related, even though the login and everything seems to be ok according to the logs...

I help managed some TF2 servers, but I notice that as of late Quickplay has become less reliable. It disconnects more often, and sometimes even requires a server reboot to fix. More importantly, since the most recent updates on the 11th and 13th of July, Quickplay no longer fills the server. It works up until around 16-19 players, and then it dies out without helping the server reach 21-24 (the server maximums). Has anyone else noticed this? Is there any way to check if it is actually working?
