Confogl 2.1.8-ESL - server freezes on confogl loading, then client's L4D2 just closes

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I upgraded from 2.1.6-ESL to 2.1.8-ESL, but when I started my server again and 
loaded confogl like I normally would via sm_execcfg confogl.cfg, the game would 
freeze for a few seconds, and then just close.

I am used to a short freeze on confogl loading from the older versions, but 
that was always like one second, after which it worked.

If I then start L4D2 again and connect to my server, it basically works, 
confogl is loaded, I can play and also unload & load confogl without problems.

However, if I minimize during loading on connecting after starting L4D2, which 
I use to do, the game will close again...

This guy also seems to have a smiliar problem on loading confogl:

Meh.. back to 2.1.6-ESL for now.. :(

It only seems to happen on the first time after I restarted the server tho, if 
I

Ignore the "It only seems to happen on the first time after I restarted the 
server tho, if I" at the end... *looking for edit button*

Wait... now I installed 2.1.6-ESL again and replaced the configs by my backed 
up configs of my old 2.1.6-ESL installation - now I have the same problem there 
too... wtf..

We've noticed this problem, too. It seems to be caused in part by the recent 
update. 
We think it may have something to do with changing the mp_gamemode cvar. We 
will look for a workaround for this issue.

Ah, good to know. I wonder how many percent of VALVe's do NOT break something...

That about mp_gamemode appears to be true and explains why it only happens 
after I restart my server where it starts in coop mode.
When I just join and do sm_cvar mp_gamemode versus it crashes, without the 
presence of confogl being loaded, also when I attempt to change it back to coop.

As fas as I am concerned, I am of course back to 2.1.8 again now, loading 
confogl via HLSW after server restart and not minimizing the game when i 
connect to the server, until it is fixed.

This is no longer an issue, as changing mp_gamemode manually no longer works.

Use the lobby system to put your server into the correct gamemode.

This issue may be reopened as "confogl should be able to force a certain 
gamemode", but for now this issue will take the backburner.

Right now I am able to change the gamemode via sm_cvar mp_gamemode, and it also 
doesn't freeze, so I would consider this fixed?

Sure, but we didn't fix it.
