This is for Remote Dedicated Servers visable on GSA
My platform is Linux but should matter.

While setting up a new server & execing it to start then hoping on GSA to see if it did, & yes it did, I atempted to join but got that god offal "Server Timed Out" message you all know the one, now some times it takes us two attempts to get in a server, on occasion, but No not this time.
However I could join the server via the game it self. Hmmmmm Strange?

This might help some of you peeps running multible servers using the same IP each time, I have several servers up using the same IPs but also others on Different IPs.

When you set up your .cfg server file the one you use to exec the game to start there is a port setting which specifies the port to use such as
// Net Port
set net_port 12204

But I noticed on start up log that it failed to set that port & used another one because the one was in use which is correct I just forgot it was.
But the server started just fine.

Make sure that the Net Port is the same as the one it started on so if it used 12206 make sure this reads like so
// Net Port
set net_port 12206

That sorted out the joining By GSA prob straight away.
Ive noticed a few servers out there that many ppl get the Time out error every time they try to join via GSA & was wondering if that could be one of the probs.

If it is on the same lan as the computer you are trying to use to connect with, you won't be able to connect. You have to connect through your lan, or have a friend try to connect from the internet.

You miss my point my servers are in Texas, Im in California, this is not a home operated server, just pointing out a simple error which is easy to make if you are not paying attention & eager to get a server up & running.
