GoGoBrownRanger Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 (edited) Hi! I was trying to help Grape with a problem. He connected to another server, he downloaded the .pk3 files from that server as usual... after that he couldn't connect to NoobsForever. Later he relaunched the game and the initialization console showed the following message: " --- Common Initialization Complete --- Working directory: /Applications/Wolfenstein ET WARNING: watchdog will trigger in 4 seconds Idle Server with no map - triggering watchdog Sys_ShutdownNetworking(); logout [Process completed] " Then the application quitted unexpectedly! Help! the only thing that comes to my mind is to reinstall ET on his computer!<BR clear="all"> Edited January 3, 2011 by GoGoBrownRanger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellreturn Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 You sure he is trying to launch game using ET.exe and not ETDED.exe ? Idle Server with no map - triggering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperTaz Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Do you know if the server is hosted by gameservers.com? If so, they have a new system called watchdog in place. This is what it looks like in the admin panel: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pisi-Deff Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Do you know if the server is hosted by gameservers.com? If so, they have a new system called watchdog in place. This is what it looks like in the admin panel: Irrelevant :) Watchdog is a part of the ET server. Basically a system that makes sure the server is running some map at all times == not running mapless, which sometimes happens. Might be a standard Q3 engine thing, don't know. The client does not use watchdog though... only in dedicated server mode. ~ /*Pisi*/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
