This is a multi-part message in MIME format. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I have a clean install of CS:S dedicated server running on RH ES 4. The server is set up so that human players play as CTs against a team of bots (playing as Ts). The bots only have knives; the human players are restricted to pistols only. The server has been running for months and has become quite popular. I am not running any custom maps at all. I am running the mani admin mod.
Beginning a few weeks ago, players attempting to connect (myself included) started receiving the "your map differs" error seemingly at random. At first it appeared that only certain maps were exhibiting this problem. I had consistent problems with cs_italy, cs_office, and cs_assault. But now I'm seeing the problem on almost every map. Until just recently, I was not having problems with any of the de_ maps. Now some of the de_ maps are experiencing the problem as well. If I delete the problem maps from the server and allow them to be downloaded again, the problem is fixed, but only temporarily. Invariably with a few hours (sometimes less), I'll notice that no one can is connect again. When I try to connect, sure enough, I get the error as well. I've blown away and completely re-downloaded/installed the CS:S server via steam twice now, and both times this problem has recurred. I can't believe that I'm the only one experiencing this issue. Because NO one can connect, I'm reluctant to believe that this is a client-side problem. Has anyone else on the list experienced this before, and if so, is there a permanent fix? I'm out of ideas. Thanks for any suggestions you may have. -- _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
