Problem Treatment

Sending Reservation Request / Failed to get session data

If you get the message “Failed to get session data” or “[MM] Sending Reservation Request” when connecting to a Counter-Strike: Global Offensive server, the server admin has made an error in the configuration. A player cannot fix this, but follow these steps as a server administrator:

The start map for the server must exist in the map group the server starts with

It is not possible to start the server with cs_italy if the map group mg_bomb has been set for the server. If you have changed your map groups, this can be a non-issue.

The server starts with a _se map

Currently (as of 08/14/12) there is still a bug, causing clients to not be able to connect to a server that has started with a _se map. Start the server with a vanilla map, and use the mapchange command.

The server starts with a map group that is not allowed in the selected Game Mode

The best example would be ar_shoots as the start map, with the map group mg_armsrace and Game Mode Classic Casual. This won’t work. Adjust the map group or the starting map to resolve this.
