UTPure Validating.....

[NoOne]

Hello all,

I just built up my first Windblows UT server (had two Linux boxen before) and am having a problem that I suspect is with UTPure. I am running the same INI that I used on my linux server exept for the change from UTPure 54 to 55 and addition of MapVote.

Clients that connect get a "UTPure Validating..." message that never completes (leaves them in spectator mode). If they disconnect and attempt to reconnect, they get rejected (failed).

Any ideas?

Server: NT4.0, UT436
Mods: UTPure (ZeroPing, VAHandler), MapVote
Mutators: Crotchshot, ZeroPing, MapVote

Suggestions welcome...

Thanks,
NoOne

I can't tell you what the cause of this is, but it's not the server's fault.
I was able to add/remove mutators and validate all the configurations with a newcomer. A reload of the affected clients resolved the issue.

This leads me to believe the issue is created on the client side. Before the hammering begins - yes, all references to UTPure were removed from the clients (cache and installed files). Something apparently was corrupted and UTPure didn't like it one bit!

On that note, I had to move back to UTPure54 because my configuration of UTPure55 made the shock rifle, sniper rifle and enforcer invisible (and unusable). A revert back to 54 made it all work again. Hmmm...go figure.

It sounds like you didn't make all the necessary changes to your ini. Are you sure you changed your server packages and server actors to match the new version?

Nope....that wasn't it. Good suggestion though.

There have been no issues since the rollback, so I'm probably going to hold at UTPure54. The server is not public. the whole purpose of using Pure was to "dissuade" anyone from having an advantage and to gain the skin management offered by VA Handler.

If they incorporate "Spawn Protection", it will be the whole ball-o-wax!

Thanks for the suggestion Bean.

Remember, you have seen NoOne.

Wouldn't it to be a non-dedicated server?

Anyway, maybe Pure doesn't work well with other muties in the game, have you tried to run a server without any muties?
Pure 55 isn't official, altough i run it and no prob's @<hidden> all. (xp)
As you said, go back to 54 and wait for 56.
Unfortunately 54 has been hacked since it was out.... :angry:
