I don't know if it is just my server. But I did a fresh install.
TF2 arena maps just hang after the waiting for players. doesn't matter how many players are on the server.

So I just made a quick fix.

I had the server wait ten seconds in to the arena map.
It then executes this command into the rcon:

mp_waitingforplayers_cancel 1

I tried to put it in a config file but it still doesn't work from there.

It might just be a setting on my server. Well this seems to work...

Couldn't you just set mp_waitingforplayers_time to 0?

That's what i did

but it got unnaproved

I can honestly say I believe this is going to be Unapproved as well. This seems like it's just a problem with your server, and not something that needs to be released for others to use.

Happened to my Linux server as well. Simple fix, just use the map config plugin (because you can use prefixes), make an arena_.cfg, and put sm_cvar mp_waitingforplayers_time 0 in there.

I don't think it needs a plugin either.

Map and Maps Prefixs Configs

Actually I think it's suppose to be 0. I tried almost everything in there I'll try it again.
I don't think I used the sm_cvar command before it.
If t fixes it That will be great. I only posted it just in case anyone else was having the issue.

Just a random comment: my Linux server has no issues with arena. I don't run a mixed rotation, though, my only server with arena maps is only arena maps. I don't do anything unusual (like mp_waitingforplayers_cancel 1 or change the wait time to zero). Do you guys with the problem still have it if you start up your server with no custom configs on an arena map?

[Antithasys]

It's well known that config_arena.cfg was missing a few settings right out of the box. All you need to do is modify that file. Not a single plugin is needed.

My config_arena.cfg

mapcyclefile "arena_mapcycle.txt" mp_autoteambalance 0 mp_teams_unbalance_limit 0 mp_enableroundwaittime 0 mp_restartround 0 mp_stalemate_timelimit 0 mp_stalemate_enable 0

[Fyren]

I don't use config_arena.cfg on my arena server. (I use symlinks to run multiple servers off one Steam install and I don't have a copy of it symlinked.) Checking in my console, I have mp_enableroundwaittime as 1. I don't set any of the variables Antithasys mentions, so they're left default.
