ScriptLog: UdpServerQuery(crt): Port 7788 successfully bound.
ScriptLog: PORTSWAP detected, exiting...

This Port swapping is the biggest pain in the butt with UT2003 servers. It happens to everyone of my servers at least 5 times a week.

Whatever makes it bound the wrong port is anyone's guess.
The server port is like "hardwired" - "cast in stone" - but noooooooo UT2003 just takes a stab in the dark and is often wrong.

Just make sure you have a looped batch file and the setting in the ini file must is set to:

[IpDrv.UdpGamespyQuery]
bRestartServerOnPortSwap=True

[elmuerte]

well normally the portswap should not occure anymore, they fixed the bug that was the main reason for this to happen in the out-of-the-box version. but badly written mutators\mods can also cause the port swap to happen.

[ProAsm]

Well I dont know which bug they fixed because this bug they most certainly did not fix. My test server runs straight 2199 + Epic bonuspack and nothing else, no mods or mutators and has standard original maps only and it does it at least twice a week.

With this same server, if I put the latest ServQuery onto it, it does it straight away and just goes into a wild loop, yet I have the same version of ServQuery on all my other servers and dont have any problem at all, but they also exit a couple of times a week due to a port swap, and its not ServQuerys fault as I have tried removing it and made no difference.

:sour:

Weird...
I never had that problem.
This is the first time I hear about it :bulb:

My servers run 2199 + DE-BP + Epic-BP + several mut/mods/gametypes....
No problems here....

What am I doing wrong? ;):D

[legacy-Orion Pax]

Well I think Muerte hit it on the dot.....as seeing i just downloaded a **** load of muts from fileplanet......now i will have to remove them all....and slowly add each one in one at a time and test my server.....I am pretty sure its that cuz it didnt start till after i got them...but i didnt run my server again till after i switched over to my win xp pro installation to test it on here.....
never tried it after that with my win2k pro installation.....

I was experiencing this exact same error. It turned out that removing the "Mr. Pants Excessive Overkill" game types resolved it.
