Server slots

**Keiron** · 05-15-08, 09:13 PM

I'm just curious, how many slots on the server are reserved for admins/reservists? Because lately I've been trying to join when its 20/24 or 21/24 and it keeps kicking me saying this slot is reserved.

I know, I know, the simple solution is to get a reserved slot, but not at this time, so please don't ask. I'm just curious as to what the actual limit is and if there is a problem somewhere along the line (either on my end or the servers, because I refresh a number of times and I wait, and it still says 21/24 or 20/24 sometimes and it won't let me in).

as far as i know its always been 22/24 maybe you were just joining at the same time a reservist was joining

Sometimes LoneStar (our new admin mod done by our very own Ewok) seems to act up a bit regarding r-slots. Apparently they are a bitch to program. If any of you think you can do better then Ewok then speak up now.

Don't worry, the problem is known and being addressed.

if it's 22 out of 24, then it's "full" from a non-reservist perspective. the 2 open slots are for connections. If you are a reservist, you can connect, and it will remove a non reservist, keeping it at 22/24.

We have 2 open slots since frequently, people spam join join join, and those in line are blocked from getting the chance to connect (reservists can't connect). But if you're not a reservist, and the server is 22/24......then you can't get on.

that's how it is on all our servers, not just the lonestar ones.

Kind of figured it was 22. Just wanted to know because I tried to join at least 3 times today when there should have been room from what I saw I on the server listing. I stopped because I did not want to spam the server anymore than I already was.

Thanks for the info.

a) First fix: Exit Steam and open Command Prompt in windows then run “c:\Program Files\Steam\bin\SteamService.exe” /repair. Start Steam and run the game. Hopefully it works.
b) If it doesn’t, try this new trick: Exit Steam and delete the file SteamService.exe (located in the Steam installation folder) then restart Steam.
c) If this doesn’t fix the problem either, you could try a last thing: exit Steam, Head over to Control Panel → Programs and Features, right click on Steam and click Repair. It will take a while but it will probably worth the wait
