Is this normal

[Dangerousdave26]

Since yesterday when I reset the firewall to the server and tried to add the session to my favorites. I get this message repeatedly in the server command window.

Can't use keys or values with a "

It is like there is a message coming to the server and it does not like the " character.

Same here , but i dont notice anny errors in the server or mission.

[Billy885]

Seen it myself on the dedicated server.

[Dangerousdave26]

Thanks

You are right everything looks to be working as well as it can so it must not be abnormal.

[salmo]

I launch the AUS_Nations@War server and it runs Ok for a variable amount of time. Can run OK from 5min to 4-5 hours (same script/mission(s)). The console will then start reporting Can't use keys or values with a " repetatively and the server goes off-line in the multiplayer server list. Anyone connected to the server at the time gets a "timeout error". I am deleting the server cache every time the server starts a new battle.

Very frustrating, has anyone got a solution?

Well I don't know if I'd call that error normal, but yeah, it's common and happens to everyone.

@salmo - are you running the server from the same machine you play on? Same steam account as well? Either one of those could be your problem with disconnects.

If so, does your system ever hibernate? The timeout's are only caused by losing connection to the internet (for the server) if only for a split second. I'd say something on your end is dropping the connection.

Also, there's no reason to delete the cache, unless you are running the server via in-game gui / not the console.

Thanks Bliss,
1. Yes, I'm running server & game playing on same machine.
2. No, different steam a/c for me & the server.
3. No, system does not hibernate.
4. "The timeout's are only caused by losing connection to the internet (for the server) if only for a split second. I'd say something on your end is dropping the connection. " - My proxy server (also hosting a forum) does not change IP & I do not lose internet connection myself, suggesting the issue is with COD itself not the internet connection. Just the COD server throwing above error & removing itself from COD multiserver list.

Well I don't know what to tell you. If the server has lost it's connection to the internet (steam servers) that's the only reason it would stop showing up. The static IP portion has nothing to do about it. I'd grab a tool that can monitor your network and you'll probably see it momentarily drops for some reason.

On the other hand, as a client, you could unplug your modem, go fix your self a drink, plug back in your modem, and you'd never get disconnected from the server you were playing on. But the server is screwed once this happens.
