Same here. We only have 4 public servers and they usually have players on them all day. Mostly empty since the update. f7 f0rkz wrote: Yup. Things are megaborked.

Re: [hlds_linux] empty servers?
I've noticed on my servers that sv_search_key and steamgroup is not always working. Also, something you may want to let your players know if they use mm_dedicated_force_servers, they need to enable sv_cheats and then DISABLE BEFORE THE MAP STARTS. With sv_cheats enabled, acheivements are not counted. I await patiently a semi-rollback from the L4D dev team... David A. Parker wrote: Same here.

You are right on that one. Last I tested it, it was telling me it was a cheat cvar. Must of been a ninja-update to my client I didn't see...

I used mm_dedicated_force_servers last night without setting sv_cheats and it worked fine.

I take that back, got it confused with ms_force_dedicated_server... This is all getting too confusing... Shane Arnold wrote: You are right on that one.

Re: [hlds_linux] empty servers?
Well they did say they improved matchmaking system. I guess the improvements are: (just guessing here) 1. Servers now use the Valve ranking system and find a server highest on the list. (i have one ranked in top 200 according to that and there's versus on all the time) 2. Matchmaking seems to assign people now to servers that they have over 200ms pings (again, just like in the early release days). This could be related to point #1 ^. (People are getting thrown by some system that accounts pings, server ranks and current player counts and players skill level) 3. The matchmaking now ignores sv_gametypes sometimes, either its a bug or game is forced on if there are no free servers around. This might explain why some servers are pretty much empty. I have one server too where there has been only 1 versus game despite the server allowing only survival and coop. While this isnt really concerning servers, how can simple thing as filter by ping be missing from the matchmaking completely? The commands are usable via console anyway. Today while i tried to play, i got thrown either high ping servers or there wasnt any games on for expert level (yet there was 20 000 people playing so finding only 5 servers on expert level with crash course sounds very suspicious. As if the system wouldn't work as it should. I would also welcome a system where a player (lobby host) could pre-reserve a steamgroup server for their game if they belong to the steamgroup. If they do not connect within 5 mins, then the server should be free'ed. Its very annoying to get a lobby going and then find out you have ti play on some crappy random server. -ics Shane Arnold kirjoitti: I've noticed on my servers that sv_search_key and steamgroup is not always working.

Re: [hlds_linux] empty servers?
4 servers running a total of 256 forks all pretty much empty for the past 24 hours. Nothing shows up in the steam group listing. I've only managed to join one of our servers using the server browser. Getting lots of complaints from gamers who think we haven't updated the servers because the lobby never joins them and they don't show up in the group listing. -wob (3FL) -Original Message- From: hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of Andrew Armstrong Sent: Thursday, October 01, 2009 8:38 AM To: 'Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list' Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] empty servers?
