Quake 4 restarting on player connect.

[warp3]

 

 

Recently installed 2 Quake 4 servers for a client, but for some reason the game restarts as soon as the first player connects. The logging (to qconsole.log) doesn't give any information why it restarts and for the past week we've been trying to find out why, but have found no reason as of yet.

 

 

 

This behaviour is seen with an unmodded Q4 as well as when the q4max and xbattle mod is used.

 

 

 

Hopefully someone can spot any error we have made:

 

The server is running on W2003 with the command line:

 

 

 

\quake4ded.exe +set net_ip 193.238.25.52 +set net_port 28004 +set si_maxPlayers 12 +exec server.cfg +SpawnServer

 

 

 

Used server config (this one is for q4max):

sets ".Administrator" "Fyx0z" // It's you!

sets ".Email" "xxxx@hotmail.com" // Change this!

sets ".URL" "" // Change this! Good idea to list all the maps needed on your server on the website too...

// Note, the more of these info sets you include, the more data is pulled on every server browse. Crop them if you dont want them.

// There are alot of controls for voting. Some server admins may want to enable everything and let

// Then some important vote decisions

seta vote_allow_referee "1" // If you don't want elected refs, set to 0. 1 makes life easier for Clanbase and similar internet competitions.
