Hi OTAC - Attempting to connect to your W@W server for the first time in a few weeks and find that I can see it in my Favorites list but I cannot successfully access the session, times out. When I load my Internet list I only have 4 servers listed (they work) but none of them are OTAC. Any idea what may have changed / how to correct? Activision has changed something I suspect...how can I get back in?

Thanks very much,
Matt

I have asked Honda to make a distributable login/password for the admin panel, so that most admin can restart the server until we get past this anomaly. Waiting to hear back

Maybe this helps when ppl cant log into the server

If you reload these:
set sv_master1 "cod5master.activision.com"
set sv_master2 "cod5authorize.activision.com"
set sv_master3 "cod5master.infinityward.com"
set sv_master3 "cod5update.activision.com"

instead of restarting the server

you can setup a new separate config and execute that from rcon
example:
masterserver.cfg
use as
exec masterserver.cfg

the admins should have the rights to exec server files

this is how i would have set it on my server

change the file-type from .txt to .cfg once uploaded
dont know if it will do the trick
also its possible that you need to enable PB for it, although i cant see why it should be enabled
Files:
txt masterserver.txt (210 Byte - 4 x downloaded )

Yeah, I tried that.
Well it does not matter the settings do not get us past this particular problem. Only a server restart.
Thank you for your help.

I think I will try to pick one of the other ones as the master1 server and see if that changes anything.
It takes hours to know so this is a tedious and iterative process

And it doesn't help that I wait hours to get it into the failing state and some admin or Honda just goes and reboots it, thwarting my testing. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr

Currently I am look into ways to automate this, but the admin panel that I have to use to initiate the restart does not have persistent cookies. So I am looking into ways to do something.
restarting every game would also require me to alter the map rotation at each restart.
It would be complicated.
