MW3 Servers

[rustydusty1717]

Wanted to see if anyone else was seeing this with their MW3 servers. Happening on 4 of mine, and on 4 different machines. No ports blocked, using +set dedicated 2 in the parameter, etc. Really not sure. Also, Windows firewall is off and no other firewall is installed.

Invalid server configuration - strict NAT detected.
----- Server Shutdown -----
Steam Game Server shutdown complete.

I haven't seen that one before on any machine or VDS here.

Make sure you have Steam.dll copied from your client to the root folder of the MW3 server, if you don't already. I also recommend doing a -verify_all with hldsupdatetool on your MW3 install. They just released another game update tonight.

Now getting completely different errors on a different machine

c:\mw3\iw5mp_server.exe +set sv_maprotation default +start_map_rotate +set dedicated 1 +set sv_config server.cfg

A copy of command line.

Here's a copy of server.cfg

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Server.cfg-configurable settings

set sv_hostname "Digiflex"

set sv_maprotation "default"

And here is the console error

Invalid server configuration - insufficient cpu performance 5.8265 ghz for 18 clients. Minimum 6.0000 ghz required.

Server running on is an IBM x336. 2 - Xeon 3.0ghz, 8GB ddr2, two 250gb WD, ETC.

So it's saying can't run 18 slots (somehow, not sure how because this can run it no problems), anyways, as you can see in server config I set it as 14 and seems like it isn't pulling server config at all. It also isn't retrieving my DSPL file either. This machine is at my work and just want it lan, incase you are wondering on the dedicated 1 parameter.

That is one of the bugs that crops up sometimes with the game. Restarting the server until it goes away is the only way to get rid of it.

[rustydusty1717]

Restarted 3 times with no luck. Even powered off the machine with no dice either. Seems as if the dedicated servers have a lot of fixes to go through. I can get it running sometimes, however it still won't pull the server.cfg and the rotation file. Any ideas?

[Edge100x]

Part of the problem could be that you have the options in a funky order -- +start_map_rotate should be at the end. Also, it should be +set dedicated 2.

[rustydusty1717]

Well I will try when I get it home. Have to take it out of rack and take it home for the weekend. John, would you be able to give an example of your command line to see what order you are putting in the parameters?

Also, $100 for this x366, not bad?
