Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/GameServerManagers/LinuxGSM/issues/2860

I updated LinuxGSM and changed the cod 4 MOD I was using. Then I started the server, and everything looked fine. Even when I tried using "./cod4server details", it said that the server is connected. But I couldn't connect to the server as a player. I tried removing the MOD and then I could connect to the server. The problem happens when I set some command line arguments in "common.cfg" file.

So I reinstalled the VPS OS and tried again. Still, it says the server is online. But I can't connect to it. This only happened after I updated LinuxGSM

I have another server running which I didn't update yet and it's working fine.

I had exactly the same experience with cod2server. Everything looks okay in the details and console, but unable to connect. I had done the exact same install a few weeks ago with an older version of LinuxGSM (v20.2.0) which was working perfect. The new install (v20.3.3) wouldn't work. After using the older version (v20.2.0) everything worked again.

the cod4 archive has been updated to a newer version of cod4x
cod2 however has not changed apart from now using tar.xz instead of tar.bz2

The updated cod4 is not working right now. While using pml220, a red error message appears on the screen on every client saying 'Invalid IWD files detected'. I tried many things but none of them worked, so I had to edit the mod.ff of pml220 and remove all the warning messages.

so my theory is that the iwd files e.g iw_13.iwd md5 check fails. I am going to check the files against the game to see if they match. If not there are also some iwd files for the mod that might be the issue
