Map transition dumps to main menu

[RobGraves]

entering through any map transition dumps to main gmod menu

console reads "bad address" and then a string reading the IP of the attempted server connection

 

[LittleB]

p sure this is happening to everyone atm, the transition directs to the wrong port

 

[bennet]

Manually connect to the server that the transition point would bring you to.

full error when transitioning from x to y please.

 

[RobGraves]

literal string is as follows

bad address ("192.etc.etc.etc")

 

[Hoplite]

okay so what's the actual exact full error?

 

[Deadmon]

Bad server address ("192.223.31.222:27015")

thats literally all that comes up

It's not that big a deal really. Just two more clicks to manually connect to the other server and you're there.

i don't mind it
keeps the retards atleast partially off s2
it's not a password but at the very least it forces them to look up the canals server

"its not a bug its a feature"
maybe the quotation marks are the cause?

It's rough if you're me and doing 5,000 things at once with at least one IDE opening in the background at any given time, playing in windowed mode, because its another alt-tab, risking a game crash tbh, it would just be troves, and i mean troooooooooves more convenient if it didnt do this, and i felt it might be a really fast fix

well i did some thorough testing and heres some console output which seems to prove that quotation marks on the IP might just be the cause:

] connect "1.2.3.4:1234"
Bad server address ("1.2.3.4:1234")
] connect 1.2.3.4:1234
Connecting to 1.2.3.4:1234...
Retrying 1.2.3.4:1234...
Retrying 1.2.3.4:1234...
Retrying 1.2.3.4:1234...
Connection failed after 4 retries.

as you can see without the quotes it tried to connect and failed but with the quotes it said "bad server address" which it does on map transitions too.
sounds like a very easy fix.

Should be fixed next update.
