Disconnect : you do not have a reserved slot

[talikarni]

I see this more and more, the server shows 12 to 16 people in the game, yet it gives me this message quite a bit. Yet other times I have connected just fine when it was at 18/22 first try. It happens when loading from the Steam desktop, it does this when opening from within CS:S game itself.

Like right now it varies from 12/22 to 14/22, 3 admins (which should be using the reserve slots) and it will still not let me in the game with this same error message. I have been trying to connect every minute or two for the past half hour with the same error. Earlier when I was in the game I saw others connecting every minute or two but not able to join the game either.


Please look into this, I do not think the admins are taking up the reserve slots like they are supposed to be (currently has Cry Wolf, Smurf and U Suck with the ibis.a tags).


I have been a server admin and owner (other servers) for many years myself so I know this is a server problem, not my client or game.

Yea it is b/c mani admin sucks. If you see the VIP server we are replacing it with SM. Thus the problem will be fixed after next week.

What's mani admin ?

[talikarni]

so why not disable the mani reserved function for now?

so why not disable the mani reserved function for now?

because we still have people who pay for reserved slots.

why should we screw them over like that?

So now that the server is using SM instead of mani, why is the reservation system still borked? It is essentially a 19 spot server since at 19, if a reserve slot person comes in, it boots someone else keeping it at 19 rather than taking one of those 2 reserve slots. The only way you can have 21 players is if there are 21 admins with reserve slots.

edit: today over 8 maps, I was booted 5 times for that dumb slot reservation. Never saw anyone else booted for it, seems I am targeted more often than others for some reason.
