So I was having some issues with it not showing up in the LAN server browser. We always had to connect manually. I made some changes to the startup line and now it shows up in the server browser but it just hangs on connecting.

Here is my startup config:

C:\Program Files\Unreal Tournament 3 (Dedicated)\binaries\UT3.exe server dm-arsenal?
maxplayers=32?minnetplayers=0?
numpublicconnections32?
numprivateconnections=32?
numopenpublicconnections=32?
numopenprivateconnections=0?
bshouldadvertise=true?
bislanmatch=true?
busesstats=false?
ballowjoininprogress=true?
ballowinvites=true?
busespresence=true?
ballowjoinviapresence=true?
busesarbitration=false?
bisdedicated=true?
bislistplay=false?
owningplayername=jared.m.adams?
gamemode=0?difficulty=3?
pureserver=1?
lockedserver=0?
campaign=0?
forcerespawn=1?
goalscore=50?timelimit=20?
serverdescription=062000058000079000032000085000084000051000032000083000069000082000086000069000082000?
numplay=16?
game=utgame.utdeathmatch?
name=XXXXXXXX?
alias=XXXXXXX?
AdminPassword=XXXXXXXX
-port=7777
-lanplay
-log=dedicatedserver.log
-login=XXXXXXXXX
-password

I THINK my problems exists because in the server info on the LAN Server browser there is no IP specified. The IP line is just blank. I didnt have an IP line in my startup config before. So I'm not sure what the syntax for adding one is. -ipaddress x.x.x.x ?

Think someone could decipher it or perhaps share FITES's startup config, it would help greatly.

Thanks so much!

and yes.... i was stupid enough to not make a backup before i edited

If I recall, the browser issue is a known bug :(

krakah · « **Reply #3 on:** January 04, 2012, 11:28:14 AM »

Thanks for the response Czar. I had heard that before as well in prior troubleshooting. I'm relieved I actually got it to show up int he browser now, but id rather go back to before when I could at least connect to it manually.

NStuff knows your pains all too well

well.... I got it working. Not sure how or why. Anyway I'm using this as my startup line:

cd C:\Program Files\Unreal Tournament 3 (Dedicated)\binaries\
UT3.exe server dm-arsenal?maxplayers=32?minnetplayers=1?numpublicconnections=32?numprivateconnections=32?numopenpublicconnections=32?numopenprivateconnections=32?bshouldadvertise=true?bislanmatch=true?busesstats=false?ballowjoininprogress=true?ballowinvites=true?busespresence=true?ballowjoinviapresence=true?busesarbitration=false?bisdedicated=true?bislistplay=false?owningplayername=XXXXXXXXXXX?gamemode=0?difficulty=3?pureserver=1?lockedserver=0?campaign=0?forcerespawn=1?goalscore=70?timelimit=20?serverdescription=062000058000079000032000085000084000051000032000083000069000082000086000069000082000?numplay=2?game=utgame.utdeathmatch?name=UT3?alias=UT3?AdminPassword=XXXXXXX -serverip 172.16.0.9 -port=7777 -lanplay -log=dedicatedserver.log -login=XXXXXXXXX -password=XXXXX
pause

Broken down by Line which is much easier to read:

cd C:\Program Files\Unreal Tournament 3 (Dedicated)\binaries\UT3.exe
server dm-arsenal?
maxplayers=32?
minnetplayers=1?
numpublicconnections=32?
numprivateconnections=32?

numopenprivateconnections=32?
bshouldadvertise=true?

gamemode=0?

numplay=2?
game=utgame.utdeathmatch?

AdminPassword=XXXXXXX
-serverip 172.16.0.9
-port=7777
-lanplay
-log=dedicatedserver.log
-login=XXXXXXXXX
-password=XXXXX

It very well may have been the addition of the -serverip variable. I tried -ip, -ipaddress before it and it didnt work. Initially when first setting the server up months ago I was having trouble with the LAN browser issue. When I created a dedicated server from within the game, I'd then load up another instance of the game and could see it in the browser, as could everyone else. But when trying the startup configs i found throughout the internet they all failed on me, most of the time the server wouldnt even start. So I copied exactly the startup config that was generated when I created a dedicated server from within the game. Not sure why that same config would cause the server to show up in the server browser when I hosted it locally, but not so when on another machine. UT3 has always been the most finicky server we have.

If NStuff wants to give that startup a try. I assume by your comment that he runs the UT3 server. Hopefully it can fix any headaches hes running into.

Sounds good to me i was just trying to pressure him into doing the ut3 server again!

I can make it easy for you guys. I can just send over the vhd

Its 28GB. Runs on Hyper-V, but you can run the VMWare physical to virtual converter (even though its already virtual) to get a VMware vhd.

Its also joined to my lab domain. I can unjoin it and make a local user. Should work :D

Hey Krakah, didn't see this post until today. If you have any issues with UT3, let F3ar0n or I know. We've both struggled with them. Not to say other servers don't suck, but UT3 has got to be one of the worst servers I've ever dealt with.

One issue I haven't been able to get around is allowing steam-based UT3 clients to connect to a dedicated server without getting dropped. Typically they can connect on first startup of the server, but on a map change, most will get booted and can't rejoin. Only work-around is to leave UT3 running, alt-tab to windows, load up task manager and kill steam.exe, then alt-tab back into UT3 and you'll be able to connect fine.

I opened a ticket with Epic and Steam and they eventually came back saying it's a known issue and they'd post something if it's ever fixed. It never has been.

Thanks for the response!

I have UT3 through Steam. I'm able to connect to our server and play through several rounds without disconnecting. I believe we never had this issue as we all have Steam as well and have played on it a few times together. I'm gonna load it up and play a little just to make sure.

Add me to steam: jaredmadams We can discuss it further if you want.

The server should be publicly accessible. ping jaredmadams.ath.cx to get the IP. Finally getting us a static next month :D. I have all the ports forwarded but I have no clue if it shows up in the Internet server browser. Was never a concern as I never had the intention of making it public to anyone other than the people who know about it.

Czar · « **Reply #10 on:** January 05, 2012, 06:51:10 PM »

I actually have an itch to play some UT3 now..

krakah · « **Reply #11 on:** January 05, 2012, 06:52:25 PM »

Just messaged you on steam Czar.

Hop on with the info above! I'm in there testing it out.

krakah · « **Reply #12 on:** January 05, 2012, 08:39:05 PM »

Well the server seems to be functioning as well as it possibly could. It shows in the LAN server browser. You can join from it. It doesnt suffer from Steam clients getting disconnected as nstuff's did.

The VM uses 4 cores of an i7 920 and is allocated 1GB of RAM. Even with 32 bots running around in there killing each other it only uses runs around 8%-15% CPU usage. Thats far better performance than what I get out of CSS.

Thanks to Czar and nstuff for helping me test it tonite!

Dwg115 · « **Reply #13 on:** January 06, 2012, 06:52:09 AM »

lets do some UT3 tonight??? we'll test krakahs server for him in the process!

I'd actually like to play some UT3, yo.
