    Ok, i had this post in the admin section, but its better to post it here too..

    if you have issues on the servers joining a team and get send back to spectator..

    *TELL ME*

    In particular i am looking for people that have this issue on AM2. Since AM2 i changed a couple of things and so far i only got reports in on AM1 and payload server.

    So please if you have a issue on AM2 report it, if i dont get any reports i'll implement the fixes i did for AM2 on to the other boxes since its freaking annoying but i cant do it alone :) If i am not online it doesn't matter, just report the time and which server, or message me (even though i might not be online, i'll read it later)

    Thanks for the help.

    Yesterday it was extremely bad on AM#1. But I have the feeling it happens only when I try to join soldier. So far it only happened to me if the first class I tried to become was solly.

    Killvion reported it again for AM2.

    As of NOW, AM2 is in vanilla mode. Only hlstats, critvote, sourcebans is installed.. All other plugins like afk and such are turned off.

    So for the love of god, test it out since its weekend now, for a good time and see if you have it.. after that i will start adding plugins back 1 by 1 and see if it still happens.

    Hopefully with this method we can find the one that is doing it.

    When I think about it, it was a slight modification of the spectator bug. I joined a team, and then the choose a class screen wouldn't come up. and pressing the choose team or class buttons didn't work anymore. I assumed it was the spectator bug.

    Sure this was on AM2?
    If so.. we need to remove the last 3 plugins left :-(
    Snel, I would go for the critvote then.

    i am thinking about making am1 and payload also vanilla..

    this way more people can test and report back. then its easy to say, if nobody complained in 3 days put back 1 of the plugins... (starting with the ones i think might cause the issue)

    So you know I've not had any issues joining on All Maps 1, All Maps 2 or Payload. Also with gscramble back I didn't get the issue, so I'd rule that out.

    only reason for putting AM1 into vanilla too is makes it faster to debug.

    Seeing that the spectator bug is not re-appearing on AM2, i've placed back the gscramble plugin on AM2. At the same time i've removed afk_manager on AM1 and payload.

    Reason for this double approach is that AM2 will slowly be adding the old plugins back in, where as AM1 and payload i will slowly remove plugins, this way there is a quicker understanding on what the issue might be.

    So please keep on reporting issues. i assume that if no reports are coming that all is fine, i know AM1 was still having these issues same as payload.. so see if that matters.

    Also, you can always just message me, even when i am not arround i will read this, and note this down like the other intervals i have.

    Suggestion: Remove different plugins on AM1 and Payload, that would speed the process up even more.
    E.g afk_manager on AM1 and hpk_lite on Payload.

    So am1 had the specator bug still right?

    I removed the afk manager there.. and placed back gscramble on AM2. So basicly those 2 are not the issue you would say (but maybe those 2 together can be, so i am doing it slowly)
