Re: [hlds] Half-Life 1 engine beta update released
What are the chances of your looking into OP4 server crashes? All of mine crash regularly, depending on server load. It's so bad the players can almost set their clocks by it. I can provide you logs or whatever would help if you are interested in doing this.

A lot of good things in this update, but it should have been released a week after the game release, too bad this game is now dead.

We have released an update to the beta, run the hldsupdatetool with -beta hlbeta to get this update.

Re: [hlds] BRINK Dedicated Server Update
Hello, Probably we are talking about the same thing. Game server will start when fired up by using command prompt, however when using tcadmin game panel server won't boot up. Don't know if this is a tcadmin or Brink problem since until this patch tcadmin would start the server without any hassle. If anyone has a similar problem and a possible fix let me know.
