Simca · **Author**

I reinstalled the whole thing. Same spawn distance problem complaints. I'm going crazy here. I'm starting to think it's one of the plugins that's causing problems.

Remove batches of plugins until it doesn't cause the problem, then add back until you figure out which plugin causes the problem. And please, let us know.

Simca · 04-11-2012 , 19:32 Re: L4D2 versus spawn problem

Do you know the what is the closest plugin causing my problem?

Nope, do what Silver says, remove all plugins, and add them in one by one.

Something wrong with this?
"z_spawn_safety_range" = "550"

"z_finale_spawn_safety_range" = "300"

I don't know if it's related to my spawn problem but srcds is still in task manager when it's exited. I have to close it in task manager too.

**Silvers** · 04-15-2012 , 04:18 Re: L4D2 versus spawn problem

That is a reoccurring bug in SRCDS, did it in the past, and it's doing it again. Valve suck absolutely.

bluebrain · 04-15-2012 , 06:22 Re: L4D2 versus spawn problem

I have same problem.
If it happens while I am in game, this is the way I correct it:

rcon z_spawn_safety_range 250

2ndly I have added
sm_cvar z_spawn_safety_range 250
to sourcemod.cfg it seems that it is solved.

**Silvers** · 04-15-2012 , 06:24 Re: L4D2 versus spawn problem

Add cvars like that to the server.cfg. I guess both works but server.cfg is generally advised.
