i havent worked it out fully yet
but there seems to be a minumum number of players required to start the game?

EDIT: Also i just noticed this new cvar: tf_arena_preround_time
which is set to 10. maybe this has something to do with it?

Only allows you t set it to a minimum of 5 though...

Freezing here also, is this an SM problem? Its late here and I don't have time to troubleshoot, for about two weeks

While being on topic, how do you configure the server to run only arena mode maps?

[marrr]

i think the problem is server.cfg is be executed..

[chikencarnage]

is anyone able to run arena maps and the other play types together without a problem? I've been reading that some servers are having a problem with arena mode screwing up their max players, and also my server crashed when trying to switch to an arena map after playing cp_steel. 9 or 10 guys got in and were able to pick teams and spawn before the server ate shit.

[Arg!]

to use only arena maps, set your map cycle to be only arena maps!

on each map load the new config_arena.cfg will run. Not sure if server.cfg is executed as well.

[Arg!]

max players screwing up is due to config_arena.cfg

i have only changed map to arena map once so far, but it cleanly went into it, and then back to a normal map afterwards with no problems.
Only problems so far seems to be players sitting around in spec not being able to join.

I just delete my server.cfg and the game is starting.
