Only 3 times

I get the same redirect message when the server is full. Used to redirect to jay2 but it hasn’t worked in a long time.

You also run Etlegacy ?

Yes. Figured it was a server setting.

Haven't experienced that... And I thought redirecting was disabled in ETL completely, long time ago?

 

Here's the piece of code corresponding to the error: https://github.com/etlegacy/etlegacy/blob/4d46bb3b7f8eda290db86c680b1b9de9ef158d6e/src/ui/ui_main.c#L8901

 

But I've never heard of a cvar that can actually control it (and ui_serverBrowserSettings is write protected). As @Lusciousdrunk it might be a server cvar, I'll try to find out

There is none, I asked about it back in the day. 

 

ETLegacy client forbids redirecting from server to server to protect users from scam servers. So unfortunately when Jay1 is full it can't redirect you to Jay2.

Thx for that info 😉

Is that related to the "fake" servers in the Browser list, where the server-info says many players, but when you click to connect, you find only a few bots on the 'real' server? 

 

That would save some players a lot of aggravation.  

 

If a 'client cvar' forbids the redirection, I wonder if a person could edit their client's config to allow it?

 

================================

 

This might help.  One can only try 😄 @Leatherface can start his ETL and see if he this cvar :  "ui_serverRedirect".  It might not exist on a Client until it is added on the command line, as described in the reply to the post below.   (I wonder if you could set that cvar in console, after your redirect gets rejected.  That would be a temporary fix.  ?? )

 You can try setting that cvar in the command line for your ETL client, as described in that link. 

 

It could be that doing that will override the standard setting in the client program each time that it is run.

 

It is worth a try. 😄 

========================

 

I get the same as you do, with ET 2.60b

 

 

AND, I get the same results on Jay#1.
