When is my reserved slot activated?
After you have given me your steam id, your reserved slot will be activated once the server changes or reloads the map.
How does it work?
Your name and SteamID is entered into a database. When the server changes or reloads the map, it grabs your name and SteamID from the database. Then, your reserved slot will be activated. If you join while the server is full, the server will kick the player who is performing the worst to make room.
How do I use my reserved slot?
Start TF2
Enable the console
Open the console by pushing the ~ key.
Type "connect ipaddress:port" in the console. See the server post for the ipaddress:port information.
Why do I have to use the console?
If you try using the Steam server browser to connect and the server is full it will wait until a slot is open before trying to connect. This is why you must type the connect command manually.
