View Full Version : Is there a timeout for "spec squatters?"

What (if anything) can be done about "spec squatters," who come onto a server, go into spec and just sit there for hours not playing and taking up a slot. This can be very annoying on a full server (which I am sure is why they do it.)

I know I can kick them, but what can the game itself accomplish without admin intervention?

I can see no way to set parameters in the server .cfg file for inactive and spec timeouts, like the ones in MoH:AA:

g_inactiveSpectate "120"

g_inactiveKick "300"

Does anyone have a workaround? This would certainly be a prime candidate for inclusion in a patch or in a dedicated server .exe.

No workaround that I have found to this point. I think we will be waiting for the patch to hopefully fix this problem and to activate inactivekick and inactivespectate variables.
