Hello people of the Internet. I was looking for a way to keep the server reserved even when no players are active on the server. As of now, any player who tries to connect to the server, will automatically create the game through a lobby using sv_allow_lobby_connect_only 1, by doing so the server will be available on matchmaking for others to join.

I tried using FakeClients plugin to have one fake client join my server when there is no player left and leave the server when one real player connects. But it seems this player is not so effective at all in activating the reservation, maybe because of obvious reasons.

So I'm questioning the more experienced folks out there, is there a way to have the reservation active even when no players are connected?

Thanks, and have a nice day.

Read the rules and stop bumping your own thread. Keep this up and there will be consequences.


You can easily lock the server by creating a steam group and setting it to steam group only. That way only people who can join are the ones from that group.

Thanks for the warning/answer but its not at all that useful. Locking the servers defeats the purpose I described earlier in my post.

Also no pun intended, where can I read these forum rules?

Thanks.
