Ahh, I see we missed updating the steam.dll in the client with the change, we 
will look into how to best solve this.

Ep1 Mods use the steam.dll that ships with the Source SDK Base, or that they 
ship themselves if it's standalone on (Fortress Forever, NEOTOKYO).

Both that steam.dll (as well as the one that ships with the Steam client) still 
have the old IPs hardcoded and being given from SteamFindServersIterateServer.

The issue isn't that anyone on the list is stuck, the issue is regular players 
won't know this and will think their old game just doesn't work anymore. If 
Valve still has the network assignment can't you guys spin up a single VM and 
NAT the traffic to the new IPs? The solution doesn't have to scale, and is 
purely a legacy crutch for these old third party goldsrc/Source games to still 
function.

Hey there,

First time posting, I'm hoping this list is remotely appropriate to approach 
Valve on a SRCDS issue.

For a couple of weeks now, perhaps longer, the Valve Master Servers for Source 
2006 games seem to have been down, and as such people have been unable to find 
any servers in Source 2006 multiplayer games.

The affected servers are (that I know of):
208.64.200.39:27011<http://208.64.200.39:27011>
208.64.200.52:27011<http://208.64.200.52:27011>
208.64.200.65:27015<http://208.64.200.65:27015>

Is there a chance we could get these back online?

Thanks.

Re: [hlds] [hlds_linux] SteamCMD HTTP Remote Control

[Alfred Reynolds]

Enabling the remote control API was not intended for the steamcmd tool, we will 
have an update soon that disables it. The web service requires strong 
authentication via Steam for any interaction so it shouldn't be an issue beyond 
the port it binds while steamcmd is running. You can use the command line 
option  -remotecontrolport Port in the meantime to force a different port 
if it is interfering with your server operations.

[hlds] Counter-Strike, Condition Zero, Half-Life and TeamFortress Classic Beta updated

[Alfred Reynolds]

We have released beta updates for Counter-Strike, Condition Zero, Half-Life and 
TeamFortress Classic. You can get these updates using steamcmd and the -beta 
beta command line option to app_update. Update details can be found on the 
game hubs for each game, or click the links below.

http://steamcommunity.com/games/10/announcements/detail/1821989948397596227
http://steamcommunity.com/games/20/announcements/detail/2125982922978939690
http://steamcommunity.com/games/70/announcements/detail/2199166417003418300

An example steamcmd update script, getting updates for TFC and Cstrike would be:
logon anonymous 
force_install_dir ..\hlds 
app_set_config 90 mod tfc 
app_update 90 -beta beta
quit

Save this to a text file (say tfc.txt) and then run steamcmd +runscript 
tfc.txt. Change the mod key in the above script to change the game you want 
to get updates for.

Under the new vpk file structure,valve only included vmt files for the

Is this something Valve will fix on a future release?

Your best bet for bug status is to go to github with a search,

Re: [hlds] Counter-Strike, Counter-Strike: Condition Zero and Half-Life beta server update

[Alfred Reynolds]

All of the GoldSrc releases should be backwards compatible right now. For the 
best experience for your customers you would ideally offer access to a beta or 
main server. As Mr 1nsane said, I would expect the trend of beta's to continue.

Looks like you'll have to get used to that.That's going to be the trend going 
forward.
There's 3 or 4 versions of TF2 at the moment (including one pre steampipe) out 
there. All of them are listed on the server browser.
Other source games might have something similar as well.

Fletcher said:
In general, I think our general policy is going to be to make all updates 
optional unless they need to be mandatory.  Unless we know that a server crash 
is really widespread, we probably will not release it as mandatory and impose 
the attending disruption on the whole community.

You can get a dedicated install for it by using the following command line:
steamcmd +logon anonymous +force_install_dir ..\hlds +app_update 90 -beta 
beta +quit

Note you will need to use +app_set_config 90 mod czero before the +app_update 
command if you want to update condition zero.

This is an optional, but strongly encouraged due to the game fixes, update.

Re: [hlds] [hlds_announce] Counter-Strike, Counter-Strike: Condition Zero and Half-Life beta server update

[Alfred Reynolds]

Yes, my plan is to maintain network compatibility between beta and non-beta 
users. When this isn't possible (and it has been to date, so I would be 
surprised) I will add that warning. This compatibility for beta is ONLY for the 
HL1 engine era games (CS 1.6, CZ, DoD, DMC, Ricochet, OpFor, TFC), for Source 
games it is typically not true.

Re: [hlds] Counter-Strike, Counter-Strike: Condition Zero and Half-Life beta server update

[Alfred Reynolds]

Yup. The code now keeps track of the timestamp of the last command and uses 
that rather than simply the current frame time for working out when the next 
bullet can fire. This helps when you are running at 100hz and the gun wants to 
allow firing every 80 msec (the AK47 in full auto does this for example). At 
100hz each frame is 10 msec, so before the next bullet could be triggered to 
fire up to 90 msec from the first frame. Now the next poll will happen at 80 
msec point, and if that frame happens a little late then the next one will be 
pulled earlier, causing the beat between weapon firing to maintain the 80 msec 
average.

[Alfred Reynolds]

We have released a beta update for these 3 games, the changes include:

Half-Life Deathmatch, it is no longer dependant on client or server frame rate. 
This change needs both your client and server updates to see the improvements.

-Strip trailing and leading whitespace on player names, and strip all styles of 
whitespace now unicode is supported 
-Don't keep playing the door open sound if it is blocked

Subject: [hlds] Internet Servers List Problems (CS 1.6)

Hello Guys,

I'm having a serious problem here. Any of my Counter Strike 1.6 servers can be 
seen on the list of the game.

1) I've already updated all my game servers with SteamCMD
2) I've tried to stop all running server and download new files (vanilla) and 
run only this
3) I've already updated steam client that is running on the same machine

But still got nothing working... I'm sure it's not firewall or connection 
problems, since I have Team Fortress 2, Counter Strike Gloval Offensive, 
Counter Strike Source and other games running and showing on the list.

When I start a CS 1.6 server, console tells me it's ok:

Connection to Steam servers successful.
VAC secure mode is activated.

I don't know what else can I do...

Thanks in advance.

Re: [hlds] Internet Servers List Problems (CS 1.6)

[Alfred Reynolds]

The region variable is no longer used and should be ignored, the list order is 
now based upon a dynamic ip database lookup (and the same system that all those 
other games you listed use). Your server appears to be listing properly.

Helo,

Thanks. Before watching this, I could see that my servers are no showing on the 
correct region. I could find some of them on East USA

Running this API, we can see some region -1 only with cstrike: 
http://api.steampowered.com/ISteamApps/GetServersAtAddress/v0001?addr=189.1.171.23format=json

appid: 10,
gamedir: cstrike,
region: -1,

But I just checked, they are all with sv_region 2 inside server.cfg

[hlds] Day of Defeat Beta released

[Alfred Reynolds]

We have now converted Day of Defeat to the new SteamPipe beta, you can get a 
dedicated install for it by using the following command line:
steamcmd +logon anonymous +force_install_dir ..\hlds +app_set_config 90 mod dod 
+app_update 90 +quit

Note the +app_set_config 90 mod dod command, this is opting that install into 
getting the bits for dod. Future updates for other dedicated servers will add 
more options to this list, and you will be able to install multiple mods to the 
same folder if you wish. To install multiple games in the same folder just 
separate the mod name by a comma. For example, to install both DoD and CZ use 
the following:
 +app_set_config 90 mod czero,dod

The beta that has been running for a couple weeks is now the official build, if 
you are running a czero server please update. Condition Zero is now using the

[hlds] Bug reporting for Counter-Strike 1.6 and other Half-Life 1 engine games

[Alfred Reynolds]

I have setup a new location for us to collect and triage CS 1.6 and other HL1 
based bugs. If you find a problem that isn't fixed by other peoples answers on 
this list and is related to the binaries we release (i.e NOT 3rd party addons) 
then please head over to our github page and file a bug (or check that your bug 
is not already listed):
https://github.com/ValveSoftware/halflife/issues

This page should be used for both Dedicated server and Client bugs, as well as 
feature requests (within reason).

Over the next few weeks the rest of the Half-Life titles will be converting 
over to the new SteamPipe system and will be using the same base content as the 
recent Half-Life and Counter-Strike 1.6 updates.

Each team here needs to make that choice, but given my positive experience so 
far with feedback on HL1 and CS 1.6 bugs I don't see why not. A lot of long 
running CS 1.6 bugs have been fixed because of github and nicely detailed bug

to fix!).

Thanks. Seems like the bug tracker really payed off for you during the last

Is there any chance we might get another repository for Web API and similar
community features.
I know that's not your area, but maybe there's now a common approach at
Valve to open up bug reporting.
I'm sure the community would really appreciate that.

We have begun testing of Half-Life and Counter-Strike 1.6 on OSX and Linux. In 
support of this we have updated the dedicated server and converted it to using

now, it remains network compatible with older clients.

To access the beta please follow the steamcmd instructions on our developer 
wiki, https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD, Counter-Strike 1.6

this appid after full release).

The changes in this version are numerous (and some fixes are still in progress,

We have begun testing of Half-Life and Counter-Strike 1.6 on OSX and Linux. In 
support of this we have updated the dedicated server and converted it to using 
the new Steampipe system. You can access the new version via Steampipe right 
now, it remains network compatible with older clients.

To access the beta please follow the steamcmd instructions on our developer 
wiki, https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD, Counter-Strike 1.6 
dedicated server is currently available as appid 90 (and will continue to use 
this appid after full release).

The changes in this version are numerous (and some fixes are still in progress, 
I am looking at you redirect servers). Under Linux we have moved forward to 
GCC 4.6 (from 2.95, heh) and are using a newer OS toolchain, so please do test 
these binaries on your machine.

Re: [hlds] [hlds_linux] Counter-Strike 1.6 beta server update

[Alfred Reynolds]

The current client version is Feb 7th, 5950, make sure you are opted into the 
beta (via the games property page). You can also restart steam to force it to 
re-check, or use the validate button.

Yes, please report windows client bugs on the github, as well as server bugs 
for all platforms. Feature requests (that are reasonable) are also welcome.

Alfred, how to be sure I'm using the latest client version, or how to force an 
update ? Because I've the mss32.dll error and It's supposed to be fixed. I've 
tried to restart steam and running cache integrity check, and all seems 
up-to-date. In the console, if I type version, the date is : Exe build: 
12:35:53 Feb  1 2013 (5944).

Another question, is it fine to report problem under windows on github?

[hlds] Mandatory Counter-Strike 1.6 update coming

[Alfred Reynolds]

The current Counter-Strike 1.6 beta will become the public version early next 
week and the update will be required. This update will need you to change to 
using steamcmd for updates (see 
https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD, CS 1.6 is appid 90 ). You 
can prepare for this update for joining the beta, the download delta from the 
beta to the final release will be minimal.

 Subject: [hlds_linux] Counter-Strike 1.6 beta server

 We have begun testing of Half-Life and Counter-Strike 1.6 on OSX and 
 Linux. In support of this we have updated the dedicated server and 
 converted it to using the new Steampipe system. You can access the new 
 version via Steampipe right now, it remains network compatible with older 
 clients.

 To access the beta please follow the steamcmd instructions on our 
 developer wiki, https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD, 
 Counter-Strike 1.6 dedicated server is currently available as appid 90 
 (and will continue to use this appid after full release).

 The changes in this version are numerous (and some fixes are still in 
 progress, I am looking at you redirect servers). Under Linux we have 
 moved forward to GCC 4.6 (from 2.95, heh) and are using a newer OS 
 toolchain, so please do test these binaries on your machine.

CS 1.6 beta in this context actually means CS 1.6 (app id 10), the beta bit is 
the part where you go to properties in the game dialog under Steam and choose 
the beta from the beta tab.

From what I can see, steamcmd is setting an ActiveProcess variable everytime

C:\games\killingfloor\bin\steamclient.dll

If you remove this value, all games will carry on working as normal (eg Killing

Subject: Re: [hlds] Steam support library


Ok this is getting annoying. Normally I am pretty good at figuring
issues out and this one has been a thorn in my side for a month now.
I had to break apart a RAID so as to swap out a drive going bad. Ever
since then, I encounter the following (not always, but often enough to suck):

L 08/15/2012 - 08:30:09: Initializing Steam libraries for secure
Internet server
L 08/15/2012 - 08:30:10:
*
L 08/15/2012 - 08:30:10: * Unable to load Steam support library.*
L 08/15/2012 - 08:30:10: * This server will operate in LAN mode only.*
L 08/15/2012 - 08:30:11:
*

Aside from installing the steam client on the server, which it had
never been or had to be installed on prior to run the servers
publicly. For some reason installing  the client remedies the issue.
But I notice sometimes it still fails occasionally. Un-installing and
reinstalling and/or leaving installed the client seems to fix. ONLY
that seems to fix it so far. My suspicion is somewhere there is a
registry link bad in the OS (Windows server 08, R2) pertaining to
hlds or such.

- verify_all does nothing to help the situation, my cl startup is
fine and it annoys me to have the steam client on the server to begin
with. Again, from the initial setup I did not have to have it
installed and it ran for years just fine without ever installing the
client on the machine. Does anyone know a perm fix for this? Even
deleting all steam references in registry has been to no avail,
unless I missed some (searched Steam). Reinstalling hlds did not help
to fix any possible broken registry links or such. I am tired of
having to fire up and watch for this message I never had issue with
before, only to see it on occasion and have to un-install and
reinstall steam client... On a server... That should not have to have
the client installed... Searching mailing list archives, the only
remedy I have found is the installing of the client. This is not a
fix, rather something that is circumventing a broken link somewhere
in my opinion.

It is not a firewall issue since that has not changed in years.
it is not a command line issue, they have not changed in years.
It is not a convar issue in any config, has not changed in years.
is not a SM, MM issue, updated and runs fine.
Reinstalling hlds did not help.
Virgin instances of the servers does not help.
Sometimes it happen after game server updates, sometimes after a
machine reboot.

Thanks,
Hutch

[hlds] Half-Life 1 dedicated server update released

[Alfred Reynolds]

We have released an update to Half-Life 1 dedicated servers. This update fixes 
a potential vulnerability in the challenge/response protocol uses for out of 
band queries (in particular A2S_RULES and A2S_PLAYERS responses). The update 
also fixes sprays not functioning correctly when new users join a server.

Also as a reminder, we will be disabling the older heartbeating protocol later 
this week so you need to update to be listed on the master server. This change 
only effect the server side, any clients (i.e server list generators or 
management tools) will be unaffected by this change.

Re: [hlds] Fake player flood

I've looked at this binary, it doesn't work on current Half-Life 1 dedicated 
servers for multiple reasons (bad version number in the connect string, using 
bad auth method, and more), so make sure your server is up to date and this 
tool won't affect you.

We have released an update to Half-Life 1 dedicated servers. This update is 
moving the heartbeating protocol for servers to go over a more reliable channel 
and also contains some code fixes in the steam support portion of the server. 
After this update the setmaster command will return none, this is by 
design, your server will still be reported.

We expect to disable the old reporting method in the next week or so, so please 
apply this update at your earlier convenience.

Re: [hlds] Steam CMD

[Alfred Reynolds]

There is some mis-understanding of the new steamcmd update tool happening here, 
let me just clear things up:

- steamcmd is used for updating of dedicated servers using the new Steam Pipe 
content system, newly released games on Steam use this system and older games 
are being switched over.

- currently steamcmd requires a steam login to perform an update, we plan on 
adding a no-login mode in the future for free to download titles.

- the login you use for steamcmd just needs rights to the game you are 
updating, so for the majority of dedicated server applications you CAN use a 
free account. So you could currently make an account per machine you wish to 
run the tool on. You do NOT need to buy the full game client to update if the 
dedicated server is free.

- CS:GO is a special case because it is in closed beta, access to its dedicated 
server is limited to blessed accounts which is why you need a special login. If 
you are having problems running CS:GO servers and are in the beta email the 
team and ask for access to another account for your dedicated servers.


With Steam Pipe you should see an improvement in download speeds and more 
robust response during high demand. It uses HTTP as the content delivery 
method, so you could setup a local HTTP proxy to cache all steamcmd requests, 
making updates from multiple machines stay on your local network.

Subject: Re: [hlds] Steam CMD

Yeah that's my main gripe with it. If you allow all accounts into the system 
though you might aswell drop the requirement to login alltogether.

If we need to own the games to host servers at least allow simultanous login to 
both SteamCMD and the desktop client.

I would like to hear why this is done anyway, I can somehow get behind it for 
CS:GO as it's a closed beta right now (although restricting server file access 
is still weird) but
why introduce this to games already released. It's just an inconvenience.

This is not that big of an issue for F2P but buying extra $30+ games just to 
have a separate server account is not something I would want to do.
I could afford it but then again - it is not *that* big of an inconvenience 
now, is it?

For CSGO, its beta, so your account has to have access to it? Or am I wrong, in 
which case, we might aswell all create new steam accounts for server purposes.

No, there is no beta currently running for the dedicated server piece of HL1, 
so as long as you run the update (with or without the beta flag) you will get 
the fixes binary.

Some months ago there was word on a fix for the radar issues on 32 slot

Oh and if you fix the redirects: Any chance on a system similar to Source 
(accept with a key)? I suppose there's a slim chance for that happening but 
just breaking the connect command is inconvenient for larger communities.

Re: [hlds] Half-Life 1 Dedicated server update released

Heapsize is a parameter developers and map makers worry about when making mods, 
as a server op you don't need to worry about its details just do what the 
author of the game you are running asks, for Valve games you don't need to 
touch the default.

 An update to the Half-Life 1 dedicated server has been released. This update 
 applies to Counter-Strike 1.6, Condition Zero, Team Fortress Classing,
 Half-Life Deathmatch, Day of Defeat, Opposing Force, Ricochet and Death match 
 classic.

 The update is optional but contains exploit fixes so it is highly recommended.

 This release is setting public the beta we have been running recently, the 
 changes that have accrued since the last public release are:

 - Added sv_logsecret support
 - Added sv_filetransfermaxsize to limit the size of a file the game server 
 will try to send to a client
 - Added halflife.wad and xeon.wad to the not allowed to download to a client 
 list
 - Increased max heapsize of 128mbyte for the dedicated server, default to 
 40mb still
 - Added sv_allow_dlfile, if set to 1 and sv_downloadurl is set still allow 
 local downloads
 - changed motd_write to only work if the process is running an active server 
 and the command is from the console
 - prevented several client redirection exploits when connecting to a server
 - Changed Non-sprite set to glow!\n debug console output to be dev only
 - Implemented new crash reporting system, now with Linux support.

Please explain about heapsize. As I know maxheapsize is one of command line 
options for HLDS. What is heap? What does maxheapsize parameter limit indeed? I 
know about ‘memory – private working set’ that is dedicated to process 
exclusively and ‘memory – working set’ that includes memory shared with other 
processes. What does memory type maxheapsize limit exactly?

And I don’t understand current max value. Was it increased from 128MB or up to 
128MB? What is max heapsize limit for old version 4554?

 beta hlbeta to get this update. Changes for this update are:
 
 - rolled back previous sv_downloadurl and dlfile changes, added some
 more checks to prevent inappropriate dlfile calls at other times
 - Increased sv_filetransfermaxsize back to 10mbytes by default
 - Added sv_allow_dlfile cvar, set this to 0 to disable using dlfile
 at all (useful safe valve if getting hit by this attack)
 - Allow up to 128 mbyte heap via -heapsize command (up from previous
 40mbytes), for some 3rd party games
 - Added sv_logsecret support, same implementation as on Source engine
 - Rate limit user voice data to one per frame, fixes voice_inputdata
 exploit. If you run 1000FPS server and still have a problem, stop
 running a 1000FPS server.

 Subject: [hlds] Half-Life 1 engine beta update released

 We have released a beta update for Half-Life 1 engine based
 games
 (Half-Life, Counter-Strike 1.6, Day of Defeat, etc). To grab
 this
 update run the hldsupdatetool with -beta hlbeta on the
 command
line.
 This update continues on some exploit fixes we have already
  shipped
 within this beta.

 Changes:
 - Added sv_filetransfermaxsize cvar to limit the size of a file
 a
 server will try to send to a client, by default 10mbytes

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

- fixed failing to load steam interfaces on windows (updated steamclient 
binaries) (win32)
- statically linked libsteam.so to libstdc++ so you don't need to update it

Let us see if this one sticks.

   We have released a beta update for Half-Life 1 engine based games
   (Half-Life, Counter-Strike 1.6, Day of Defeat, etc). To grab this
   update run the hldsupdatetool with -beta hlbeta on the command
  line.
   This update continues on some exploit fixes we have already shipped
   within this beta.
  
   Changes:
   - Added sv_filetransfermaxsize cvar to limit the size of a file a
   server will try to send to a client, by default 10mbytes.
   - Prevented halflife.wad from being downloaded from a server (fixes
   server hang/stall).
  
  
   There is also a couple client side fixes, if you run your Steam
  client
   with -beta hlbeta on its command line and run Half-Life games you
   will have some fixes that prevent server redirection.

Re: [hlds] Half-Life 1 engine beta update released

[Alfred Reynolds]

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

- rolled back previous sv_downloadurl and dlfile changes, added some more 
checks to prevent inappropriate dlfile calls at other times
- Increased sv_filetransfermaxsize back to 10mbytes by default
- Added sv_allow_dlfile cvar, set this to 0 to disable using dlfile at all 
(useful safe valve if getting hit by this attack)
- Allow up to 128 mbyte heap via -heapsize command (up from previous 40mbytes), 
for some 3rd party games
- Added sv_logsecret support, same implementation as on Source engine
- Rate limit user voice data to one per frame, fixes voice_inputdata exploit. 
If you run 1000FPS server and still have a problem, stop running a 1000FPS 
server.

Not at this time, running 1000fps is a good way to cause your server to hurt 
when it shouldn't but if you want to run that way then fine.

 Does Valve also plan to limit and eventually remove the FPS cvar from
 the Half-Life 1 engine? Based on your last email I'm assuming valve
 does
 not recommend running 1000FPS servers on the HL1 engine either.
 
 Thanks

Re: [hlds] Improved engine handling of server queries ?

Try increasing the sv_max_queries_sec_global variable, its currently 3000/sec, 
try 10k or more. This will effectively disable apart of the DoS protection 
(making only the per-ip part work) but it should prevent squelching of the

 Since valve tried to do this we're still having issues if we do not
 hide
 the servers.  Where as before the server was under attack it used to
 timeout for everyone it now, so it seems, just stops responding the the
 ping (still can be queried using status).  That's great in that is
 doesn't kill a game however one side effect is that, when the server
 goes into this 'mode', if someone should have a network problem and
 disconnect for any reason, they cannot rejoin the server, in fact no
 one
 can join the server until it's been restarted.
 
 This happens on both our windows and linux servers. Are other people
 experiencing the same thing?

[Alfred Reynolds]

After sending this I did some digging in the games engine code and found both a 
bug fix around this (causing the server to stop replying to connects when it 
shouldn't) and an optimization opportunity, so the next update should improve 
this behavior so that you won't need to play with that cvar's value.

  Try increasing the sv_max_queries_sec_global variable, its currently
  3000/sec, try 10k or more. This will effectively disable apart of the
  DoS protection (making only the per-ip part work) but it should
 prevent
  squelching of the connect packet.

   Since valve tried to do this we're still having issues if we do not
   hide
   the servers.  Where as before the server was under attack it used
 to
   timeout for everyone it now, so it seems, just stops responding the
  the
   ping (still can be queried using status).  That's great in that is
   doesn't kill a game however one side effect is that, when the
 server
   goes into this 'mode', if someone should have a network problem and
   disconnect for any reason, they cannot rejoin the server, in fact
 no
   one
   can join the server until it's been restarted.
  
   This happens on both our windows and linux servers. Are other
 people
   experiencing the same thing?

 Hey Alfred,
 
 Is this like the Half-Life 1 Engine beta hlds0319 update? Meaning, it
 was a published as a beta Half-Life 1 Engine update though released as
 a CS 1.6 update after several weeks? The reason I ask is we run a few
 TFC servers still and the hlds0319 tested fine for us though we missed
 out on the release because it was title a CS 1.6 release, lol.
 
 Anyways... figured I'd ask. Should we run the update cs0616 being it
 would more then likely impact the Win32 Server Engine again?
 
 Thx

Re: [hlds] WARNING regarding latest Unnanounced TF2 Update!

[Alfred Reynolds]

This fix is now live, run hldsupdatetool to grab it.

The TF2 update today contained only client side fixes (hence the lack of update 
email), unfortunately the TF2 depot is shared between the client and server 
causing the update to apply to servers also. This update updates the other 
binaries needed to work with the new server.dll but doesn't change server 
functionality.

There is no update for Linux servers (as one isn't needed).

 Does this mean that after the 'beta' the patch will be live? Or is this
 a
 case of 'update now or miss out' ?

The beta command is actually -beta hlds0319, sorry for the typo.

Re: [hlds] Team Fortress 2 and Day of Defeat: Source Update Available

[Alfred Reynolds]

Make sure the steam_api.dll file was updated properly, that export is in that 
file.

 We are getting steam entry point SteamAPI_GetHSteamPipe could not be
 located errors when trying to start servers after applying this
 update.
 Any tips?

  A required update for Team Fortress 2, along with an optional update
 for Day of Defeat: Source has been released.  Please run hldsupdatetool
 to receive the update.  The specific changes include:
 
  - Pipebombs now get a reduced close range damage ramp up (like Rocket
 Launcher  Syringe Gun)
  - Ultimately reduces damage done by pipebombs to enemies 512
 units from the Demoman
  - Moved the unlockable system over to the new item backend:
  - Added a warning dialog to the loadout screen telling
 clients when the server they're on could not get their loadout
  - Made tf_damage_disablespread a replicated convar, so clients can
 see the value of it on the server they're connected to
  - Renamed mp_stalemate_at_timelimit to mp_match_end_at_timelimit,
 to better explain its function now that stalemate is optional
  - Protected several more commands from client exploitation
  - Fixed muzzle flashes  shell ejections still playing when
 viewmodels are hidden
  - Server tags can now be used to include or exclude servers from the
 list
