I am not sure if this is a normal routine in TWGS, but I am noticing some settings are changing in all our games. For example, I set a game to remove inactive players for 30 days. I create a game and decide to set that game to remove inactive players to 15. I notice all games now set to 15. Also, if I set the Alien server to sleeping, it does it globally as well in all games. It also happens with other settings, but not all, just some. Is this a normal routine in the TWGS? We're currently running 1.03 of the TWGS.

the settinge that do it to all the games are global settings, and usually they show as such in he area where you make the changes. Any setting that changes things server wide is a global setting. And will change things throught the whole server and so forth. I hope this helps. You have to look at the setting when setting and see if there is a area that says Global setting when setting up certain settings, if that shows on the screen when you select a setting to change, then it is a global that changes settings in all games.

Ok I follow that point. I had thought in my previous version I could set game A to 15 days remove inactive players, game b to 30. But now if I change one game it does them all.

So the Alien sleep mode i take it is a global setting....

Yes, it is a global as well as the remove active players on the latest version, I went through the same thing you did with the new version of TWGS and had the same results, and someone showed me why too.

Ok wanted to be sure it was not my server. Thanks Vulcan for your time in helping me out. I appreciate it.

No problem, and anytime
