Jarvis

Thanks for the info - are you typically running in interactive console or service 'backgroound' mode?

Does anyone else see large volumes of unknown DVAR errors in their console (specifically the ones I pasted in the message above)? I'm just worried that maybe I corrupted a file or two during upload - or are these errors 'normal'? Thanks!

Servers seem to be running nicely - for the most part. Anyone seeing random lag spikes? The only thing I can correlate it to from the COD console is regular dvar error messages like below: WARNING: unknown dvar 'bg_shock_volume_ambient' in file 'shock/damage_mp.shock' WARNING: unknown dvar 'bg_shock_volume_hurt' in file 'shock/damage_mp.shock' WARNING: unknown dvar 'bg_shock_volume_player1' in file 'shock/damage_mp.shock' WARNING: unknown dvar 'bg_shock_volume_player2' in file 'shock/damage_mp.shock' WARNING: unknown dvar 'bg_shock_volume_music' in file 'shock/damage_mp.shock' I havent had regular complaints, just random ones so I wanted to check and see if anyone else is experiencing intermittent spikes. I know it's not network because I have IP monitoring turned on as well as other logging, and I would expect to see latency in logs, but don't when these complaints are made. Also, are most of you running this interactively or in the background -any recommendation between the two? Thanks!

I saw reference to ColoCrossing in this thread and wanted to ask some questions to current clients. //now back to COD4 support - sorry for hijack.

The old 'car won't make a sound when you take it in to the mechanic' trick. As soon as I posted, the customer said it showed, so I am going to mark it up to Master server issues, lol. Thanks for the quick replies!! Much love to the community... Also... I am going to open a thread re: Colocrossing in another section - would like some feedback. Thanks, all!! **edit - actually after reading posting rules - i'll refrain from asking about CC. If anyone has experience they'd like to share with CC, maybe share emails? thanks **

Has anyone had issues with some servers not showing up in the browse list? I've made sure that firewall rules are not blocking queries, etc. Ideas? Thanks!! Jarvis

As usual - thanks ECF! I was beginning to pull hair!

Thanks for the config, guys! I do have a problem, though. It seems I can only get the game to launch if I install it via the id installer. If I try and create a service unsing the zipped install files, the server executable does not start. If I install the game through the installer on that box, it starts - no matter the executable's location. I'm guessing a registry entry, or profile directory? I figured I would come here to see if anyone else ran into this and solved it already - or have I just zipped the install files incorrectly (missing something). Thanks again for the help!!
