Mine took me over a half hour to finally get lucky enough for an open slot, you got lucky. Other people in this thread also mentioned the same issue I was having.

Anyways, in game/on Sam's server.

If we had 6 instead of 4... we could have finished that second map wave 8. Bah.

We were sooooooo close. We could have had a second chance at wave 8 if the map time didn't expire. I just changed it to unlimited minutes from 35 so we shouldn't have that problem again.

I also identified why the server was reporting 24 available slots to steam clients while displaying 32 slots in the console. There is a line in the server.cfg file that specifically controls how many slots are reported to steam.

I have also slightly increased the bandwidth available to clients. Might give a smoother experience. Took it from 20kbps to 100kbps.

I wish there was more info available on this stuff. Thanks for being patient.

I didn't know that every time the map is cleared it loads the next with more / harder waves.

Now I know why I think it's to easy when I keep playing 6/6 then getting bored.

I think there is a higher probability of playing tomorrow night. People normally don't go out late at night because they work the next day.

I think 10 PM EST has been working really well for this group.

maybe 2 hours early so we have more time?

Any one know if you buy a ticket if it will work on the privet server after playing a full game?

Sam's server is fail/not up right now.

And tickets only work on the official Valve servers, Jeff.

After last night I think "official" servers are way harder then setting up a server at home like Sam or I did.

We had no problem on ours server getting though 6+ waves with no fails. We didn't make it to the last wave at all last night with a good team set up and players.

I have a felling that my $1 ticket will never get redeemed for a win.

Looks like mann up mode is significantly harder by design, on a non mann up server you can do 6 waves with 4/5 people. In mann up you need 6 and if you get less them like a B/C on any waves you are very gimped.

To bad you can only play mann up on Valve servers =(

So let's get a good group in for one round on official Valve severs then, Jeff.

I'm certain we have the players from MT to do it, and I'd like to send my $3 and get all the MVM stuff in one go.
