Connecting to a BW server.

[old.Matt_at_home]

Hi, can anyone help me at all.

Every time I try to connect to a BW server it load's it all then, just as it is about to begin playing, the game exit's to the Q3A menu.

I have no clue why I can't get into BW server's, so any help from anyone would be much appreciated.

Please note that I am not a Pirate and dont use a cracked CDKey or have ever shared my CDKey with anyone.

what sort of server was it, OSP? If so you might need to download the OSP. turn autodownloading on..

And do you have the 1.31 patch?

Next time it does it, press the console button (left of 1 and above TAB) and see what it says. There may be some error which it reports. Also, try this at the console

/cl_allowdownload 1
/reconnect

it should then d/load whatever files you are missing, if it is an osp, map, etc type problem.

Although using the correct fs_game stuff and all the other stuff is goodness, I think I've uncovered the real culprit.

The variable sv_timeout on the servers is set to 120 which is supposed to disconnect people who go 999 after 2 minutes. Have found that the timing stuff in OSP is not right on other variables so it wouldn't surprise me if it's off here too. Have increased this my servers to 720 (supposed to be 12 Minutes, but probably is actually 3). The previous 120 was probably 10-15 secs. If you didn't connect within that time, you were gone. That would also explain why some couldn't get in when there were more people on the server. Also the higher ping peeps probably had trouble too.

Let me know if you still get the return to Q3 menu behavior on the private ones. I've sent a note to TicKeD as well to ask him to change this on all the OFF servers as well.

Hope this does it. Will be sending a note to Rhea @OSP about this as well

Also if u read in osp docs u see this
Setting restrictions
====================
The following settings are enforced for internet play:

r_lodcurveerror must be set to 250
r_subdivisions must be no greater than 80
cl_znear must be set to 4
cl_shownormals must be set to 0
cl_showtris must be set to 0

If you have settings that violate any of these rules, OSP will reset the
faulty variable to an acceptable setting and issue a vid_restart. A side-
effect of this will mean that maps may appear to load more than once
upon connecting to a server.

Other clamps:

cg_bobup clamped to +/- 0.005
cg_fov upper bound clamped to 120, unless in zoomed view
cg_zoomFov clamped to 120
no cg_thirdperson view if in the game (and on a dedicated server)
-------------------------------------------

So make sure your CFG is set to above settings ))
if u dont have the commands in ,,like znear & tris
Put them in )))
Hope it helps
