Title: what is this for kind of error? Post by: ralph on May 03, 2008, 06:49:41 AM Hi there again, ;D
Sometimes when a player connects to 1 of my servers,the console diplays this error: (?) Not authorizing client due to lack of auth server What is ,or what is causing this? Is it a setting in my server.cfg or a client setting? sv_master is dpmaster.deathmask.net,so it sends heartbeat to the masterserver. Its the only masterserver it heartbeats to,all q3 masterservers i know are removed from the server.cfg Ive never seen this in 5 years when running dedicated q3 servers. so tell me , im realy curious what it is :D Title: Re: what is this for kind of error?

Title: Re: what is this for kind of error? Post by: skankychicken on May 03, 2008, 10:47:09 AM conflict of the server hostname vs IP maybe?
+set net_ip "?.?.?.?" - try adding your IP as a start up option. If your running nghost mod try turn these off g_authenticateClient_strict g_authenticateClient Title: Re: what is this for kind of error?

LOL ok i get that one but its not by every player that connects!!! then it should be the same for everyone ,and it isnt Title: Re: what is this for kind of error? Post by: skankychicken on May 03, 2008, 11:13:53 AM You could have mentioned if your running a mod or what, but you didn't. :)
Just search for auth or Auth in the config. Remember and restart the game. I know thats noobish, but I make the same mistakes all the time :D Title: Re: what is this for kind of error? Post by: ralph on May 03, 2008, 12:42:56 PM Yea i know that 1 ;)
problem solved thx to all :D Title: Re: what is this for kind of error? Post by: skankychicken on May 03, 2008, 01:54:52 PM Quote What is ,or what is causing this?

I think dpmaster may just be some filtering system for all OA servers and the ingame browser uses that list. Who knows, that message maybe returned from one of the q3 master servers. But.. it's Saturday night and your problem is gone. Who cares :D Title: Re: what is this for kind of error? Post by: ralph on May 03, 2008, 04:22:01 PM Quote What is ,or what is causing this?

Post by: jackmcbarn on August 02, 2008, 06:53:59 PM I'm hitting this with every client that connects and can't fix it. The only word "auth" in my config is:
seta sv_strictAuth "1" Changing it to 0 didn't fix it either. Title: Re: what is this for kind of error? Post by: Cacatoes on August 03, 2008, 08:57:55 AM Do you run a mod ? Do you have some specific file with particular settings on your server ?
Check on .cfg files of your mod if you use one. Title: Re: what is this for kind of error? Post by: jackmcbarn on August 03, 2008, 09:18:52 AM I don't run any mods.
EDIT: Another oddity. It works fine on my LAN, it just breaks when I use it through NAT. |
