Reserved for whom?
Unless whut has neglected to set it up, I should have access to the donation-reserved slot but receive the same message.
It was also something that never seemed to happen before the Heavy update which would imply that all the reserved slots were always taken by those who donated, which seems to be an unlikely event to me.

Maybe the 33 Max Player Limit is supposed to entise new players, and get the Tempest Servers higher on the Master Server List

in order to use your reserved slot you have to type "connect [ip address]" without quotes and brackets of course..

The 33rd slot is reserved for source TV since the update IIRC

Really?
Is that to somehow bypass Steam detecting no free slots or something?

The 33rd slot is for reserved slot people to connect without using the console if they don't want.

It allows for a full 32/32 game to be played. I'm sorry it's a problem.

Hrm.. is my reserved slot not set up then? =P
In seriousness, though... I'd personally rather just go to console if it means people not having to spam click the server while looking for an opening.

Your slot is set up. I'm having issues with the plugin itself. However, I believe I've fixed it (as of right now). Please test it and let me know.

Just tried on Tempest 2 with 32/33, both clicking the server and connecting from console - no go, it seems.

Rik, I'm pretty sure it does work. I've tested it 6 times now with 32 players and connected fine. Maybe it was an issue with the updating not taking place due to the map not changing yet.

Yeah I don't think its unreasonable for the people with reserved slots to connect from console.

It breaks auto join as mentioned by other people in this thread.

Alot of times when a server is full, I just don't play because I can't auto-join.

I think it dissuades alot of people from trying to get on the server.

Costs are at an all time high and donations are at an all time low. I kinda feel like the donators avoid the grief of having to wait in line/be rejected from the server due to the extra slot.

I can set it back to display 32 player slots though if you guys really want me to. It seemed more like an incentive to donate to the cause, though.

The 33rd slot will remain to keep the teams balanced at 32/32 though, so sorry about that.
