[L4D2] Open up session slots
 

When there are 8 players allready playing on a 8vs8 server, I can only connect by using the console, openserverbrowser or HLSW. When try to join the server by selecting the server and clicking Join Game in the Steam Group Servers list, I get the following message eventhough it's an 8/16 atm with 8 slots free.

"Failed to join session because the session did not have enough open slots"

EDIT: explaining a bit further with 2 pictures:

I got a steamgroup called "Multiple Slots L4D2 Servers". (feel free to join) Admins with multiple slots l4d2 servers can add our group ID to their sv_steamgroup parameters. Ingame, their server shows up for members of the group to join. When I try to connect to any of those servers where the ingame player number is 4 or higher for coop and realism or 8 or higher for versus and scavenge (see picture), I get the "Failed to join session because the session did not have enough open slots" message when trying to join the game. (see picture)

There must be a way to prevent that through a sm plugin. I hope someone can figure out how.

Will be fixed in Downtowns Extension in version 5, which youd know if you had READ ITS THREAD.

You're right. Thanks for pointing that out to me, AtomicStryker. That's great news!

For those who want to read it, it's right here.

@cigs: Ever tried my server ? It´s listed in this steamgroup too and I use downtown´s lobby unreserve, just in case there´s a lobby connecting immediately after server is empty/restarted. So everyone can join as all of the remaining 8 slots are free.
Would like to know if it´s working. I hade the same issue as you do but only till the day when I installed the lobby unreserve plugin on the server.

Does this help you: http://forums.alliedmods.net/showpos...&postcount=702

? To disable slot patching from downtown simply set the cvar value from his plugin to "-1". Btw I am having trouble understanding you properly. what does "no rules" mean ?
