Thread: Server Restarts?

Let me make a small correction, I restarted the server when I was given notice about the squad bug and as the server restarted there was discussion amoung the admins regarding the map to go to once the server restarted. When there is a server restart under the current rotation it restarts at Gulf of Oman not Sharqi. That is the correction, it goes to the Gulf of Oman map but never got in because as agreed amoung the admins I set it to go to Wake Island.

Bravo brought a good point about the restart and letting it play on the first map for one side and then moving to the next map in the rotation or a map agreed upon by the admins. Didn't happen last night because I didn't understand what he was saying before I hit the button to go to Wake.

By the way, the reason there was a discussion on the map to start up with is the next map in the rotation was Operation Clean Sweep which is not a good map to prime with if you lose a lot of players.

Yep....Blue is spot on.

The server ALWAYS loads the first map in the rotation (Oman) first. No matter where we were in the rotation,or where the Admins want to start,it will ALWAYS load Oman first. The map will end immediately,and all of the scores will be 0, and then it will load whatever map its told to load. That must have been what you were seeing.
