Title: Server stuck on map change
Post by: Zeяo on May 30, 2014, 09:39:55 AM
Hey all I noticed that my server sometimes goes from 40/40 players to 0 when a map changes. I discovered that It gest stuck when changing a map, does anyone else have this problem? Or knows a solution?

This is a common problem.  Usually there is one player that keeps the map from changing.

You can boot each player and see if the map changes over after you boot that player.  If not, move on to the next player.  (Boot, not ban.)

It is called a "map hang".

I have never discovered exactly what causes this.

Not that I know of.  The admin tools for the original SWBF are extremely limited. 

If you are referring to SWBF2, they are better but not as good as modern games.

I do not know about SWBF2--you might try GameToast.com.  They have a large and active SWBF2 group over there.
