Isn't 3 slots a bit much? Whenever I get kicked for slot reservation the server doesn't go up to more than 20 people, leaving 2 slots worthless 100% of the time.

the server is 20 slots. there are two other slots. the first (slot 21) is automatically kicked. you can't be in that spot. it's the reserved spot. buying a reserved slot (or admin) gives you immunity to that autokick, so it will instead kick someone else. the second (the, 22nd slot) is for sourceTV

actually its 19 slots.

im playing. i get kicked due to slot reservation. it says theres 19 people on the server. i try to reconnect. i get dropped due to slot reservation before even connecting to the server.

its 19 slots. however i didnt realize one of the 3 is for source tv. so 2 reserved slots is more legit. thanks for answering

'I think what he means is, the server sometimes has capped at 19 rather than 20, and with sourceTV being invisible (not taking up a slot), it looks as though we are having 3 open slots.' - blackmage

this is from the other thread. this is what im talking about. how come more often than not the server caps at 19. but sometimes 20. does it just mean theres more admins online than usual?

no. there are sometimes ghoost players, but not as often. sometimes, people are connecting, but they're just fat. so they take some time to actually join

i dont know anyone who takes roughly 30 - 40 min to join :P ive counted its usually 19 players and sourcetv (20) but server says 19, im not sure how sometimes there are 20 but i think it might be when a bunch of admins are on?

WOW so it IS possible. for the first time ever I just saw the server cap out at 21 people. unprecedented.

for a short time, then the autokick would get rid of someone

Actually now that I see that it is back to 21 I think I need to increase them all by 1 to prevent sourcetv from causing this glitch.

Maybe the server needs to have the slots increased from 21 to 23 or 24. Shouldnt effect to much and you can still have 2 slots for reserved slots

Ok this is getting annoying now, I am the first person to connect on a map. This is due to the system I am running, due to being the first to connect I am constantly kicked for slot res. This needs to be address because its annoying as hell, I do not like being punished for my baby being to excellent.
