Tf2 Server Not Allowing Weapons Loadout

Recommended Posts

Hi there. This message is directed to the server admins.

For a number of days the two servers I go to frequently (which I donate to) have had this message appear when you go to the weapons loadout screen:

"The server you are playing on has lost connection to Steam. As a result, your loadout will not be available on this server."

Fortunately for me the problem seems to be resolved on Dustbowl UK (95.154.193.27:27015), but maybe not for other people. It is still there on Payload stocks UK (95.154.193.20:27015). I'm sure there's an easy fix and I'm not sure if it's been brought to the attention of any of the server admins yet.

Once this issue has been resolved please feel free to delete this thread (and if you could drop me a PM to say that is the case, I'd appreciate it).

All the best.

Savage

It's not entirely the server's fault. Steam's servers aren't always reliable, especially so soon after a patch. It should be resolved over time.

Thanks for the speedy reply Melissia. But isn't it just Lotus that is experiencing this problem? And it's been going on for a relatively long is all. I hope as you say that it will be resolved, but isn't there something the admins can do?

No, it is not just the Lotus servers experiencing this problem. Some servers are having the same issue, some are not. What Melissia said was correct. The issues with Steam loadout is just that, issues with Steam loadout. Same thing happened with the last patch, if I recall correctly. They couldn't do anything last time, I don't think they can do anything this time.

Patience is a virtue in this aspect, or try to find one of the Lotus servers that aren't having the issue and play there if you really need/want your specials. Until then it's an issue that will resolve itself eventually. Can't say when however, sorry.

Oh okay I didn't realise it was a general problem across many servers. I'm patient, I don't really mind too much because all players should be in the same position (though sometimes some players actually can access their specials while others can't; weird). We'll just wait then. Thanks B)!

The Steam connection fallback for Linux TF2 servers seems to be broken. Our Windows servers reconnect fine when Steam goes back up, but Linux servers need a manual restart.

Neph might be making a plugin to fix this if Valve does not (It's been like this for over a year).
