Wow, once again this week the Cgo server failed. Started with the normal bad password np got around that then on the third map of the parish as tank came it said...Server shutdown due to a scheduled war wtf! and the team we were VSing didn't want to keep playing.
Don't get me wrong i can imagine running a ladder and setting up servers as an Admin is a hard job but more attention to detail would be nice Cheers.

Servers ran flawlessly completely unattended for well over 3 months, lately with Uni starting up for people and random issues coming out of nowhere (assumingly from Valve updates) admins haven't always been around to fix these problems.

We believe we have fixed the password/2v2 loading issues already, however due to the decreased ladder activity we could no longer justify the use of 4 L4D2 servers. Games are automatically set-up and servers are reserved for 1.5 hours. I believe it states somewhere in the rules if you go past the 1.5 hour mark and are forced to leave the server the score at the end of the previous round is what counts. Usually 1.5 hours is more than enough time to finish the game but if any issues at the start of the match caused the game to be delayed for longer than anticipated then I do apologise. As I said we believe these issues have been addressed.

You've been admin'd.

Thanks for the update Philol, 1.5 hours a game now, i understand the isue but all the wars i have played there is always about 30 min wasted e.g drop out, high ping, afk, ect. Fast games a good game thanks again.

I have had a similar thing happen (although I was in this game too) about a month ago when XDG challenged Dr Congo we got in the server to find it was 2 vs 2 server for a 4 vs 4 game. It was not really an issue back then because Dr Congo didn't turn up but while were on the topic I thought I might mention it. Though fully understand admins have lives too.

Btw I have very high ping in all cg game (around 300), but pings from 5 - 30 on normal games, was wondering if I can change any settings or what not to help my ping troubles. I have tried altering the rates.
