USGN verifying fails in cs2d dedicated server
10 replies Hi all!
I have decided to host a cs2d server on my debian box. It is hold in an open network, it has got its own net ip (no NAT or router or anything in front of it) , and I have shut the firewall down as a possible source of problem.
I have downloaded the windows zip pack, and the dedicated linux pack, extracted them, set the permissions, edited the sys/server.cfg , changed the name, the mapcycle and thats all. I have launched the binary, all went fine, but when I want to join it from my home computer , it keeps hanging on the user validation "Server is checking your USGN account..." and waits and waits and waits forever.
Here is the server log :

I could not ask anybody else to join the server, but before I do, have you ever met this kind of problem before? Which port does the server needed for USGN verification?
Thanks for your time and help!

the server has only one UDP connection which is used for all communication. with clients and the USGN masterserver.
the USGN itself uses port 36963 (like the default cs2d port).
I'm not sure why the verification fails because the USGN communication seems to work in general (it was able to check the version) but you can disable it with
sv_checkusgnlogin 0
attention: this can be a security risk if you use Lua scripts which rely on the correctness of the USGN id. hackers might be able to fake their ID without this check. Its weird. Have a look at the log :

And it hangs up like it did before. Can I check somehow what modules has it got? Like status in cs1.6 or meta list in metamod ? I'm not sure abou the bug itsself, but the correct command for the one you're trying to use is
Also just in case you haven't tried it yet, it might just be a case of restarting cs2d (helps when I get problems like that). No, that is a separate command.
Some news. I have asked my friend to install the game and try to pop in the server. He had no usgn account, and the server immediately let him in.
I have logged out from my usgn account, and I could join too.
So.. what could be wrong? DC Admin Offline
the game does not have to verify your login when you are not logged in - obviously.
enter the command I gave you in your server.cfg and restart the server. it should work with login then.
your server somehow fails to ask the usgn masterserver / get the response of the usgn masterserver for login verification. I don't know why. ERROR: Unknown command 'sv_checkusgnlogin' (sv_checkusgnlogin 0)
Nope, not working again.
I have some ldd, maybe it helps :

oh wtf? maybe mp_checkusgnlogin? Correct,now it works ! Thx!
edit: But will it be able to verify the usgn accounts?
No sorry, it sais connection problem when I join with a logged in account DC Admin Offline
connection problems are not related with that issue in any way. your server seems to have general connectivity problems. I've had the same problem with my own server.
It just hangs in the usgn checking process.
I've found a quick way to get around this:
1. Remove last letter from ur usgn account so you're not logged in anymore.
2. Append the last letter again so you are logged in to usgn again.
3. Reconnect
I think it's a bug between USGN masterserver and normal server.
