Few mins downtime

Once, I wrote:: ..the server was having hard time recovering from being down several minutes long.

I still have this.
Not very much but every once in a while.. And h4s is down and from list for about 5 minutes. Ofcourse it's sad to have just half of the people back afterwards. So from the amount of players around these events I'm pretty sure it's a server attack/reboot or something like that.
Do you guys have it too? What is it?

Any1 wants to check the log for it? Yesterday okt 5, locally 9:05 pm..

I dont have it. And since Im not at home I cant check the logs.
But I also would like to know if others have this problem too...

It didn't get down at 5 oct, thats sure, the server uptime is way longer and theres nothing in the log o0.

And 1 min back only server missing from list is h4s. Refresh, Get new, Refresh, Get new, restart wolf.. Still no h4s. Mad

That's weird. Only h4s gone while I see it's online on GT.. Anyone an idea?

hi sander

i have a suggestion,plz add h4s in your favorite and try to connect in such situation if you couldn't then there can be a problem, you know, i had this problem before while there was people on server

Some times I have hard time getting response from the server (ping it) with xfire but its not going down or anything, strange.

Sure but I want all working 100%, h4s-Captain_Ali!

btw
Suddenly I thought I had not seen f in my list quite some while and found out that just 33 servers show up when I count. RtCW says 42 servers underneath. AvPlist 41. Wolfmp shows 47 (but this one might have some older ips like sluxx I think..?) It did not seem to matter what masterpatch I used (s4ndmod/wolfmp).. Hm

@ Whatever: nothing can work 100% fine in a heavily patched game. Not even are all webserverlists alike. The best is L0's.

Afterwards I thought I derailed the topic here. But the problem 'h4s few min down' occurs after I get kicked from server (due to conn.interrupt while other servers remain in the list). In about once a month. And apparrently with 1/3 of the other ppl too. Connecting via IP in favs like Ali mentioned I had already tried btw: It doesn't show up in favlist. (Next time I'll try with /connect IP, but /reconnect didn't do the trick either..)

Tnx for your help Pinkfloyd, but 1.0 is not patched right.. Besides that, all RtCW 1.0 install packs/copies that were provided online last few years seem 100% okay, except for maybe needing the masterpatch and only pb if you want.
And best list is l0's? Why is that? I never heard of wolfmp/s4ndmod being unreliable on their serverlist? Anyway I want my list in the game, not in my webbrowser. Wink

(Btw. Do more servers with ppl exist outside of the masterlists because they didn't supply their IP to the new masterservers?)

Nothing about that in log? All left the exact minute?

Mhm, redirecting url's is nothing that complicated, just there are different redirections and different executables too.
About h4s, I noticed some people cannot ping it since weeks, meaning they cannot even enter, I'll look into it.

Subject: Re: Few mins downtime Wed Oct 10, 2012 11:46 pm

Some people dont find h4s since weeks? wtf??

There arent any other servers around. All are in the new master list as I know. You dont have to report the ip to anybody. It update itself. Like the original master list did. Servers are automatically in.

When I had my addicted rtcw time and played more then now, I also disconnect from server maybe once a month. But not more. And it was always back directly and I could connect.

You were connected 24/7? Wow..
Anyway I'm suffering from this problem for a longer time.. Read last part here where I blame QTracker.. It's of 2 years ago when RtCW's own list showed up completely. (I guess the same weird problem and it seems it has nothing to do with h4s on/down..)
Suggestions still welcome. Smile

Tnx so far all.

Don't think so, to appear on the alternative list, a server must have sv_master set to the new url in the cfg, meaning server owners etc have to do it.

And its not just one list, for example FF (the goldrush clan) has their own.

Subject: Re: Few mins downtime Thu Oct 11, 2012 4:48 pm

Ah right. Oops Smile

Forgot that server hosters had to download also a client. Btw why they have their own list... sense?! xD

Subject: Re: Few mins downtime Thu Oct 11, 2012 7:44 pm

Well not, hosters need only to add the new url in the cfg, the bigger problem is that clients must download a new executable.

FF took it offline if I'm right. Seems they were 1 of 3 that offered an alternative master (patch). Now remaining deathmask/WolfMP and s4ndmod as only two afaik..
