Timeout on connect


(FireWorks) #1

Hello!

I had quite a good connection to most servers, but I couldnt connect to one specific server (Les Vipres, I think) in the past. Now I have problems on more and more servers.

The joining dialog looks normal (joining server…) but I never get a connection and finally a time out error. Console info isnt specifically helpful, just sending, sendin, sendin

Anybody got an idea how to fix this?

i struggled a fair bit to get a game last night. same server i think. it was the only available server with more than about 4 people too. good ping but timeout all the time

What worries me is that they are becomming more servers with this issue. All ping below 80, often 40.

I’ve seen this when the server loses connection with Steam
It looks like it’s still running, but it’s not
Nothing you can do, the server owner should reboot their server to regain connection

The problem is on the server code?

It’s “normal” to servers to lose connection to Steam?

There are several threads relating to server connection/shutdown issues
