Linux esf server turns itself off

[melo]

I'm trying to host esf server on linux platform. Everything works quite fluently, except that after an hour or so server turns itself off:

Host_Error: WriteDest_Parm: not a client

I thought it was because of bots, so i forbid them to connect to the server, but it's not helping - server's still doing this crap. No idea what's wrong, so i hope you guys will be able to help me. Thanks.

I thought bots only connect to non-Steam servers.

Hm.. have you tried switching operating systems?

Well it's steam/non-steam server.

Afraid that's not possible.

 

[hleV]

Then we cannot help you.

That's a shame then. Still since you r not a whole forum, i'm hoping that there's someone who'll help me.

Try installing the latest HLDS update and switching it to STEAM only mode. See if that was the issue.

Shouldn't he get validated before getting help? Just asking.

Looks validated to me. Moving this thread to the support section.

I thought validated users had yellow name. Anyway is it right to support a Steam user with server which allows non-Steam users (that would make sense, as Steam only server would be empty 99% of the time)?

Anyway, I don't see how you get this error. If you made everything correctly by tutorial, everything should be fine. If you're having problems with something that should potentially remove those bots (like a plugin), then provide us with more info.

I am validated and have a red name. Strange, isn't it?
There was a bug in the new system, allowing users to bypass the e-mail confirmation. His primary group, which also defines how the name is displayed, is still "Users Awaiting Email Confirmation".
The real and proper way to see whether someone is HL verified is by looking at the line under the post counter.

Hmph, i don't think that country kicker is causing this trouble. It works fine, evolutionx and those dotes are instantly kicked. I'm using country kicker, which i've got from yourself btw.

I'll test this with steam-only server.

 

[hleV]

Then you've probably made a mistake when setting up the server. Or Valve screwed Linux HLDS once again.

Steam-only server seems to work without turn-offs so far. Although I turned off some plugins one after another to see if that was the case. I wonder if it's working normally just because i deleted trail plugin.

Oh for gods sake Sky. He has a validation mark as OKd. Hes obviously not a bot. So just manually move him to the correct group >.<

Come now Grega thats to much hard work for sky lol

Why should dedicated linux server owners be validated to receive help?

They shouldn't. But according to Sky you must be validated to receive any help. ANY. Unless I'm missing something?

A loophole in the plan i guess. You can get HLDS to run without having to buy HL itself. Guess we just didnt think of server help when unleashing the pluggin ^^
