Modern Warfare 3

[zelatech]

i'm not getting you cobby, could you be more specific please?

[CobbyJUK]

when i set a server on my config i made said i made a server on port 27035 it would show up ingame and hlse as 27036

[zelatech]

uhm that's strange, on my server it's running on port shown in connection info, consider that

 

Game Port:

Query Port:

RCon Port:

 

must be the same, and

 

Custom Port 1: gameport +1

Custom Port 2: gameport +2

[CobbyJUK]

getting more problems with your new config.

 

iv set to port 27055 but it doenst work. it works on 27017

 

any ideas?

[CobbyJUK]

my fault. working fine, forgot to update the command line

[zelatech]

happy to hear this.

I have download with stem but when I try to run the dedicated server it say:

 

MISSING LOCALIZED.TXT

 

any help ?

Same here. Idk if it's a crack protection or what but for sure i downloaded 3 times mw3 from steam. Do i need the entire game to exec server? (don't think so)

Steam is a complete mess It says "100% updated" but it seems that have MANY missing files. Let's download it again.

Thank you anyway. It was the "same" file of cod2/4/waw etc but Steam is crappy atm.

[Molten]

during your first download with hlds you will get around 6-10gb of files, run the updater again and it will grab all the missing files.

 

It done this to me aswell.

 

@zelatech thanks for the config, ill test it out today and see how it goes

[CobbyJUK]

anyone else have a problem when restarting a MW3 server it goes to 50% cpu and lags every game on the same box.

 

im using all MW3 on the same box now to minimize it.

 

just made a new location and added a server to it.

[revhosting]

My cpu usage is enough low on server restart. Anyway what's query protocol? I tryed HL2, cod2/4/waw with no success.

[strikeR-]

Can you create servers with 14 slots+ ?

 

Only can run it with a bat file, if I run by Service it stops on:

 

Invalid Server configuration - insufficient cpu performance for 14 clients.

[zelatech]

My cpu on restart goes at 25%, on a quad core, i don't think this is making other server lags.

 

@rev

do you mean query protocol? actually the one i'm using is not working. hl2 css

 

@strikcer

i'm running all servers with 18 players with no problem.

[revhosting]

Ok so it's "normal" query protocol is always a critical question

[zelatech]

here's an issue:

 

when creating for the first time a game server for mw3 i got some cod4 instance to fail, even if located on different ip and with different port, anybody got this issue?

 

edit: with fail i mean query failure.

[{-SMAKU-}_MotorMouth]

I have the game running no errors but the game is not reporting to the game browser.

[Turion]

MotorMouth,

 

You have to add the Steam.dll to the files otherwise it wont display in the list.

 

Common problems are,

 

1. The example server.cfg is totally broken. It uses "set" for all the variables instead of "seta" which is required for it to work. While this is easy to fix it took quite a bit of effort to figure out as the last thing you expect is the example config to be broken.

2. The servers fail to startup fully in internet mode reporting "No Steam Master Servers found. Server will LAN visible only."

Update @ 16:52 08/11/2011 - This is fixed by copying Steam.dll from your steam directory to the dedicated server root directory and restarting the server.

 

3. The core variable required to run multiple servers from a single install, which is required by all server providers, appear to have been removed.

The setting in past games have been: fs_homepath and fs_localAppData

4. Apparently ranking isnt available on dedicated servers which makes them pretty much pointless.

5. cmdlist and dvarlist has also been removed making it very hard to check that config settings are valid

6. The server is huge 14GB, basically its a client install. Compare this to BF3 which is 1GB. There's no need to have a server include all the graphics, sounds and even cut scene movies.

7. No documentation at all that I can find. Again this is readly available for BF3 so why not MW3, its not like you guys are new at this.

8. The dedicated isnt availabe via the steam dedicated server download tool only via the client, which makes it very difficult to support. This is easy to fix and needs doing so ASAP.

9. Server randomly fails to start due to "lack of bandwidth" even when this is clearly no the case. The error message seen is:-

"Invalid server configuration - insufficient upstream bandwidth 0 kbps for 18 clients. Minimum 566 kbps required."

10. net_ip doesnt work. This needs to change the address binding for ALL ports and doesn't

11. Some times the server will insta bin on startup. Restarting it with no changes often just works

12. Server has no logging option, thats been found. This makes diagnosing issues like the above next to impossible.

13. Invalid / broken cpu requirements check sometimes reports things like the following, the check should be removed.

"Invalid server configuration - insufficient cpu performance 3.0252 ghz for 18 clients. Minimum 6.0000 ghz required."

anyone had any issues with the mw3 server update?

Guys, a number of issues leave me feeling that MW3 is still in pre beta that is yet still got alot of work to do.

 

Any server i create doesnt show in steam server list, and i have tried a number of ways in the commandline to attempt to get that working.

 

The steam.dll aspect, this does need to go into the root dir of the game folder. However, i am still having LAN only issues, not broadcasting over the internet and or over steam server list.

 

Am i right in assuming that there better be an update soon that will resolve most of these issues. ?

 

--- cmd line

 

C:\cod8\iw5mp_server.exe +set dedicated 2 +set net_ip k 22.22.22.22 +set net_port 23500 +set sv_config server.cfg +set net_queryPort 27550 +set sv_maxplayers 10 +start_map_rotate

i am trying to get the game to actually properly work manually on steam and ingame server list. any help on this would be appreciated.

 

 

 

========= UPDATE

 

steam servers i think are for ranked only, but i now have servers working inside the mw3 server list, however TCADMIN templates are having issues i think

Edited November 13, 2011 by avizeke

[zelatech]

It's appening to me with cod4 servers on different IPs and different ports.

[avizeke]
