awaiting snapshot timeouts...

When ever anyone tries to join my server (including me), it timesout when it gets to the "awaiting snapshot" loading screen. It will then let me into the server with no problem if I connect again. It only seems to timeout on the first try. Its a pain cuz people will try to get into my server, then timeout, then never come back lol. Any suggestions?

Modify or add this line to your server.cfg:

 

seta sv_timeout 90

 

That will give someone up to 1.5 minutes to load a map during the joining process. I saw that the "recommended" server.cfg going around has it set to 15 seconds. Sure, some players can load the map in 15 seconds and some can't. It looked like about 50/50. I increased the time to 60 seconds and still lost a player now and again. At 90 seconds, about 99.9% of the players make it into the server on the first try. I don't feel that 90 seconds is an excessive amount of time to have the server boot someone who is link dead. Give it a try and see how it works for you.
