Summarize your bug Portal server restarts round by itself.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Host a portal server, populate with 10+ players. At some point the server restarts the round by itself. This happens every time when enough time is given (5-15 minutes).
What happens when the bug occurs? Round restarts without a restart command given.
What should be happening instead? The round should finish.

The server has some restrictions like no motion sensor and no spawn beacon. The automatic restarts seem to happen more often when server is server protected.

  • Reading around, this seems to happen when you have already restarted your server at least once. Then the random restarts start to happen.
    @EA_Atic maybe this will help you reproduce. I don't think it has to do with the code of the server.

  • @dfk_7677 Yes server restart seems to trigger it as well as server admin command for next map. Both of those appear to be catalysts.

    I can confirm that with the same experience code, if no restart command (same for next map command) is given, round finishes normally. Yesterday we were able to finish two 30min rounds without any problem.

    So steps to reproduce are:

    1. Start a portal server.
    2. Populate it.
    3. Restart round or go to next map, from admin panel.
    4. After the new round starts, at some point it will restart by itself.

    I hope @EA_Atic this will help you pinpoint the problem so a fix can be applied.

  • Thank you for this message, I've been trying to play a PvE mode I made with my friends and was getting this a lot, I will make sure not to use any admin commands and see if it works. I appreciate your testing :D

  • The issue that I experience specifically seems to be servers with too few people are in, the server automatically loads the next map, as opposed to the server restarting the same map.

    Unfortunately this bug still persists and is not in the known bugs list. Is it in the backburner @EA_Atic ? Or can we expect a fix in the coming patch?

  • Bug still persists after 3.3 patch, but it is not in the known issues list. It is very easy to reproduce, so I guess they don't consider it something important enough to fix.
