nah, everyone on my list as been popping in and out due to disconnections. Its not related to IL2:COD... anyway and what can you do about it irregardless of IL2:COD ??? Also it may be a good idea to note what actuall steam server you are running on. Uk - Manchester server here for e.g.

if we can pin point what the reason for the mass disconnects perhaps we can inform luthier and get a hotfix or find some solution on our own.

I suspected it (master server)may have been trying to query our servers on a port that was not listed but that has proved incorrect :(
I can unplug my server from the internet and the game will continue and i will get no error message from the steam program...there is a reason we are being logged off and its not a connectivity issue.

hey guys when you server gets loged off please check your steam logs (not the game) and post the log off time here please , like below

[2011-07-04 02:50:54][1,39] : ConnectionCompleted() (69.28.156.250:27017, TCP)
[2011-07-04 02:50:54][1,39] : RecvMsgClientLogOnResponse() : [] 'OK'
[2011-07-04 10:58:56][3,39] : LogOff()
[2011-07-04 10:58:56][2,39] : AsyncDisconnect()
[2011-07-04 10:58:56][2,0] : Log session ended

please go here https://support.steampowered.com/newticket.php create a support account and once you have done that go back to the URL and crate a ticket...there not going to liten till alot of us start complaining (may not listen anyways)

and please put your steam logs or portions that show the log off and the constant connection issues.

Well, some time passed, has anybody found a solution to avoid or workaround the regulary steam log-offs?

[ATAG_Bliss]

The solution is to have actual dedicated server files like every steam game :D

That way the dedicated server never uses steam in the 1st place but only streams to the steam server via their server browser IP. So when steam fails, the only thing that happens is your server doesn't show up on the list for those few seconds, and doesn't get disconnected in the 1st place.

Ok, I guess that means No? :(

If the launcher wouldn´t stop working, we could comfortly use HL, but that also is linked to steam, so how do you do this? Are you constantly supervising your server? :confused:
