New server idea

Post by awesomedude »

I've got an idea for you, why don't you host a suicide survival server? This guy named Seananners uploaded a video of him playing the game, after that it got extremely popular. But here's the good part, there's only two server in the game and each can only hold 10 players. I started my own server today and after 20 seconds of being live, I already had a full server (maxplayers 10 during the testing period). The game is a mod for hl2, go to suicide-survival.com for more info.

Obviously this thread is intended for Ant and Nick, but everyone is free to comment with suggestions.

EDIT: Todays statistics from my server: 9 hours of uptime with a mean player count of 13.5 out of 15.

Just restarted my server to increase maxplayers, it took less than 10 seconds before I had 15 players in it. Side-note: I won't be running my server 24/7, I mainly started it as an experiment. I'll only keep it up and running when I'm home.
EDIT: I just ended my server, it was full from the second I started it to the second I terminated it (close to three hours). I really can't see why you wouldn't want to start a server in this game, unless you have some sort of hardware restrictions with all of the other servers up and running..

What's your actual configuration ?

Otherwise - I have my own solutions that sometimes resolves a problem like that.
1.Update your drivers.
2.Steam updates are automatic,but if by mistake you deactived them,the re-activate the option and/or install the latest updates manually.
3.Check the game cache.
4. -And worst- solution, deactivate your antivirus, launch the game, reactivate it.
5.Ask steam support to help you.

You can google it or go on a Steam forums asking help too,there is some experienced guys there.
But in any ways, a configuration would be nice.Maybe the latest update added some things that your computer can't run...But I srsly doubt about it.

-Hope it helped ;)
