I'm really glad that you are taking the time for this. It means a lot for us and I talked to some members in our community and they wanted to say thx to.. :)
Many players has the buy-exploit in their configs from shady servers and they are crashing all the warservers when they are playing without even knowing it. Publicservers has a "fix" for this via a amxplugin, but some publicservers dont. And the serverprovider dont want to update to a beta, but its better if you fix ALL problems that you can before sending out the update, but its starting to be a big problem. Ive seen people complaining more and more the last few days about servers crashing. Are you sure that the beta really blocks the buy-exploit? Thats the most annoying exploit that is out right now. > From: alf...@valvesoftware.com > To: hlds_linux@list.valvesoftware.com; h...@list.valvesoftware.com; > hlds_annou...@list.valvesoftware.com > Date: Mon, 18 Jul 2011 17:36:59 +0000 > Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Half-Life 1 engine beta update released > > I received a couple bug reports over the weekend so I am going to take the > time to dig into those, expect another beta release or two before a full > release. > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlds_linux- > > boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of Alfred Reynolds > > Sent: Friday, July 15, 2011 1:29 PM > > To: 'h...@list.valvesoftware.com'; Half-Life dedicated Linux server > > mailing list; 'hlds_annou...@list.valvesoftware.com' > > Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Half-Life 1 engine beta update released > > > > We have released an update to the beta, run the hldsupdatetool with "- > > beta hlbeta" to get this update.
