TF2 Stuck in respawn/Client left messages
 

Hi everybody!

I recently saw 2 things on our tf2 servers:

1. Players are stuck in the respawn. The timer counts to 0 nothing happens. The timer goes back up to a number counts down again..again..again..till you switch your class. Also this seems to happen to some people more often than to others.

2. e.g. the Player left message:
now only look like this:
The second one is not really important... I was just curious.

Any help is appreciated :-)

Re: TF2 Stuck in respawn/Client left messages
 

These are both because of rcon locker.

The respawn counter issue is a bug, with fix listed here

The blank disconnect message is intended as there is a possible exploit involving it.
(there are other ways to sanitize it, truncating it and removing certain characters, but rcon lock just clears it out of simplicity and safety)

Re: TF2 Stuck in respawn/Client left messages
 

Where do you apply that code? rcon lock or the tf2 fast respawn

Thank you psychonic! :-)

@matt.b: the version a few posts later contains the fix: http://forums.alliedmods.net/showpos...&postcount=408

Hey thanks sillium how did you set your respawn time mine seems to be wierd i set it to 8 seconds and people say its 15 seconds, and sometimes it just says 8 seconds but its more like 2 fast respawn.

Re: TF2 Stuck in respawn/Client left messages
 

We don't use a plugin to change resawn time. It's still original.

Re: TF2 Stuck in respawn/Client left messages
 

Apparently the disconnect thing doesn't bother orangebox/TF2? I haven't had the problem myself with that (I removed that myself from rcon_lock). Though I know it's deffo a problem in older engines.

I believe Valve claimed to have fixed it in an update for ep2v and a beta update (-beta0419) for ep1.
