i certain server that i am hosting keeps crashing and will constantly loop and say Creating Game Channel.....
Failed To Create Game Channel....


over & over & over again for hours!

the only thing ive found that fixes this is changeing the host name, but that dousnt last too long b4 it starts looping again Sad

if i change it back to a hostname that has been "looped" b4 then it just loops again =/

Failed To Create Game Channel....


It's failing because there is some one in your WOL server join screen. They try to join but the join button isn't active they wait a lil and leave b4 or right after they leave someone else joins the server join screen and this goes on and on and on(your server can't create a game channel because it still has ppl in it trying to join) until no one tries to join the server channel for 1 full minute, at which time WOL times out the channel and drops it. Now your server can connect and create a new channel for itself.

Edit: you know what it maybe that when the WOL pings your server Channel (every 1.5mins) if no one is there and server isn't on, the room is droped.

that can't be it....if his server was not online it would not be on the listings page and nobody could attempt to join. apart from that, WOL isn't so busy it has people going in and out of servers in a constant manner.

As the server crashes it doesn't send a quit command to WOL so WOL doesn't know it's not there, and there is a short window of time that it will still be listed in WOL(untill WOL pings the server and doesn't get a response and time out the room). If i join after the crash and b4 WOL pings the server (there will be no map name, no time, score, player, the join button will not be enabled), and i can stay in there for as long as i want and keep the server form connecting for ever

PS. my 8 player server is full 95% of the time it's up and once some one leaves a new player joins with in 30-60sec, at times i have a hard time joining, as soon as i see the player left message i click join and I'm 2 late, because there are ppl that spend a lot of their time just trying to get in the server (keep clicking join over and over...)

And after a crash it takes a while to get it to join a channel because all the ppl just keep trying to join the channel over and over.

You can't. Your FDS is the "op" in the channel and if your server isn't there, there's no op to kick anyone.

I'm the bawss.

you sould be able to just cycle threw the names use name 1 then 2, 3, 4, 5 and go back to 1. That seems to work for me and for a few other servers that I've seen it done on.
