Dont some scripts just check the steam.inf (or what that file was) for the
version number?
But indeed, that should be better.
Well, nemrun does check the steam.inf file to build a query to the master

Hi,
Another thing I've been noticing about updating the servers anytime
recently is that most of the time, if not all of the time, a 104
connection reset by peer occurs even when an update has (apparently)
fully completed.
If this did not occur, the steam client would exit with a normal return
I wanted to pass on the news that we believe we have identified the cause
of the steam auth timeouts that cause groups of players to all get
disconnected drop at once. (No, we had not forgotten about it!)

This is getting pretty ridiculous, dude. You are upset over a non-issue.
You act as if quickplay sending you players is the only way to get your
server populated. Trust me,
IIRC what you set on the commandline *IS* the highest you can set it, and
although I'm less certain about this, I don't think any attempt to set
maxplayers to a higher value than what was set on the server command line
will work.
Please do us a favor however and do not ask valve to lock things
If you're a GSP, you alone should totally be monitoring your clients.

The short version is, no, I didn't interrupt the update. I've been around

The file was definitely updated in the depots. I don't know why some

Of course the bigger problem is segfaulting on startup, which is
apparently happening for people who didn't have other problems. That's
probably where Valve needs to focus on right now, but it would be really
great if somebody could look into this steam.inf issue and fix it once
and for all.
Yeah, I just forced another update by editing the steam.inf back to
1.1.8.8 and starting up my -verify_all version of my nemrun updater
script. It's pulling a bunch more files in now...
After running the command again all my boxes are running fine with the

I think they released more files. Or, it is possible to be informed of an

to feed you.
All 4 of my servers are bakc up now after this
Do you have tried '-retry'?
in an update loop, you end up having to do a -verify_all, and then for

next many hours your -verify_all -retry script loops and loops and

Maybe I need to use setmaster* cmds in the running l4d2's to see which
masters they are talking to and try modifying srcupdatecheck to one or
more of those masters instead. It's just a guess but maybe L4D2 servers
need to talk to different masters to do version checking queries.
Any ideas,
it seems unlikely that Valve is going to modify it to suit us... :)
If anybody cares to assist/suggest, feel free. If I come up with
something that works I'll post it.

So, time to brush the dust off my 2 brain cells and figure out how to
modify srcupdatecheck's python code to parse an L4D2-style steam.inf file

was complete, so ppl on the server would know that the
reason the server was going down/rebooting was because of an update,
rather than a crash or something. Especially since the servers tend to
fill up pretty quick if yours are among the first updated and back online.

they only work for -updatefirst scenarios but I'm getting ready
to add similar options for when -updatefirst is not being used (as I am
probably going to stop using -updatefirst myself).
If thats something you think might be neat I'm glad to share what I have.

in use that minimize
