Spectating Server Error

[KCGThanatos]

My server has a problem where it locks the map and people can only spectate. It acts like the map is wanting to change but it only sticks on the server player list or it starts a map and everyone gets stuck to spectator. It doesnt do it on any specific map... just at random. Any ideas??

I am having the same problem. It seems to happen if a vote has been cast to change the map, and when that map is over, it doesn't change back into the rotation.

Are you running any custom maps? If so, remove the one that it hangs on. I had this issue with a few custom maps. I removed the bad ones and the problem went away.

no customs.. and my voting is turned off... it seems to do it on kursk and berlin... but it could be coincidence..

[wingman]

can you post your map config and map rotation lines here. Thanks.

Hmmm...I had the same problem...hanging on berlin. I attributed it to the fact that, like a dummy, I copied the map rotation as-is from someplace, and they all had .bsp at the end of the map name, except for the map AFTER berlin which had .bs. Once I took all the extensions off the map names, everything worked fine (so far). Your config doesn't have the extensions, so that can't be the problem. It otherwise looks ok (your config). I'm interested in hearing from anyone else that is having the problem??? Or, the solution??
