View Full Version : Stuck in spectator mode

Is anyone else having this problem. I can start my UO server and as long as people are in the server playing it rotates through all of the maps in rotation and everything is fine. But if the server is inactive for awhile then when the map ends on its own it becomes stuck in spectator mode. If you try to join you cannot do anything but set there?

Running ALL custommaps and so far all maps have tested out ok. It is only when it is left alone for time..

Thanks in advance for any help

does it happen on 1 particular map?

also, try just running the normal maps and see if you have the same problem.

No, not one certain map just whatever order I put the rotation in. If I use say "Map A Map B Map C" and we have people in server for Map A and Map B but everyone leaves server after Map B then Map C would hang in spectator mode.

I will try factory maps and see what happens.

read your map list carefully, look for a mispelling.

Ok, I put only stock maps back in place. But I did include the new official map pack. But it seems to be locked in spectator mode again. :(

I will check my spelling again.

post your server.cfg. maybe a second set of eyes will help

did you install the patch?
i recall seeing this somewhere and that the patch was supposed to fix it.

I did install the patch and the problem still existed.....But not to fear, I put all regular stock maps in and the ones from the official map pack. After that I found I still had (one) custom map running....After removing the custom map my problem has disappeared! Makes me wonder how other servers like my own run this and other custom maps without problems.......

Thank everyone here for helping me out with this matter. I will be more careful with my config from now on. Also going to make seperate configs for seperate types of maps and games....
