JediGhost[SITH] Posted May 23, 2002 Share Posted May 23, 2002 When people connect to my server, they usually have 1 of 2 problems: #1: Invalid PK3 Files Referenced. #2: They join, and get disconnected 10 seconds later. If they are even lucky enough to get past the Invalid PK3, 75% of the people get booted as soon as they join! I don't know what's going on, but it started yesterday and it's getting on my nerves.

TheAphextwin Posted May 23, 2002 Share Posted May 23, 2002 Is there anything in the server logs ? Are all disconnected players getting the invalid pk3 message? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatrixCPA Posted May 23, 2002 Share Posted May 23, 2002 Could you post your command line/startup script and config? What type of connection is the server on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediGhost[SITH] Posted May 23, 2002 Author Share Posted May 23, 2002 Well if they dont get the Invalid PK3 error, once they join, it just says "<name> Disconnected" soon after. And it stops doing it once the server gets a few people in it.. Not everyone gets the disconnected either, so thats weird. I'm using Road Runner through a Linksys 4-Port, and yes, I have forwarded it properly. And that's probably the problem: the forwarding. I've had to switch ports atleast 5 times now... I don't know whats causing it, but its a pain to get my server going... Even on the Ded Window all's it says is "<name> Disconnected"... NOTE: I didn't get the 1.03a, could that be the problem?

KnightHawk420 Posted May 23, 2002 Share Posted May 23, 2002 Hey dude what's your server ip and port? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediGhost[SITH] Posted May 24, 2002 Author Share Posted May 24, 2002 24.92.209.8:28070 the port will either be 28070, 28071, 28072, or 28073. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatrixCPA Posted May 24, 2002 Share Posted May 24, 2002 Well, there's at least some possibility that it's a router issue. I try to avoid those like the plague since it seems like there's no simple or consistent solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightHawk420 Posted May 25, 2002 Share Posted May 25, 2002 On my game servers I usually just open everything past port 1024. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narotic Posted May 26, 2002 Share Posted May 26, 2002 my server does that, usually when people who are still running 1.02 don't upgrade and try to play on my 1.03 server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatrixCPA Posted May 26, 2002 Share Posted May 26, 2002 I think that putting v1.3 in the sv_hostname is a good idea to let players know what version the server is before they join. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonas Bach Posted May 30, 2002 Share Posted May 30, 2002 i used to get this too when i was running a PURE server. i disabled pure in my autoexec and now it's ok... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediGhost[SITH] Posted May 30, 2002 Author Share Posted May 30, 2002 I need my server to be pure. I don't like having to answer the stupid question: "Do you see my skin?" every 5 seconds. And yes, making your server unpure will definately fix the problem. The Invalid PK3 is caused by Pure, if you make it Unpure, ANY PK3's are allowed. I also now refer to the Invalid PK3 error as my "Newbie Filter". It seems ever since this error started showing up I've had less Newbs on my server (or ASCs or whatever). Only the respectable people can get in. This game has a mind of it's own!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
