After the past 2 maintenances listed here http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=784745&page=4 the unlockable weapons and player backback have been unavailable on our TF2 servers, untill we rebooted them. I know this thing has been in discussions before and the system was improved so the servers will regain connection during map changes, or something. Thing is, while there is a major maintenance at Steam, the system fails to reconnect.When only the item system is down and is brought back up, the weapons will start working after map change.
If you look at that link there about Steam Downtime maintenances, mainly after the times listed at messages 145 and 148, our TF2 servers have had to be restarted in order to get the unlockable weapons layout to work again. They do not start working after map changes, only after server restart. It is very annoying to go reboot multiple servers full of people because weapons don't work (some actually come and say they don't work and would like to use their new fancy kaboom stuff) and just because i can't sit 24/7 checking when there is maintenance on Steam or weapons do not work, some cvar that you can put in a server console to reconnect the server to whatever it needs to be reconnected for weapons to work would be appreciated. Hell, it would be even better if the server would do this itself every 2 hours as a failsafe. -ics _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
