Re: [hlds_linux] Mandatory TF2 update released

Kinda weird it was released so widely though, seeing as it's only relevant to Valve servers. It's not like most community servers would care other than perhaps disabling the halloween effects. On Wed, Nov 11, 2015 at 7:37 PM, ics wrote: > Halloween ended prematurely as

Does this work fine in a mixed mapcycle or does it have to be only between invasion maps for quickplay to work? On Wed, Oct 7, 2015 at 3:16 AM, Alexander Corn wrote: > It looks like you'll need community_update in your sv_tags to get Quickplay > traffic for Invasion maps.

Re: [hlds_linux] Mandatory TF2 update released

You can change the bars back to ping in advanced options in the game. Which is what I did. I like the new scoreboard, though I kinda miss being able to see the team playercount at a glance. On Fri, Dec 18, 2015 at 8:27 PM, dan wrote: > On 18/12/2015 11:49, Saint K.

Was it just my servers, or did this update not apply automatically to servers? Had to manually restart my servers like it was a optional update. On Thu, Aug 4, 2016 at 2:54 AM, John Schoenick wrote: > We've released a mandatory update for Team Fortress 2. The notes for

It appears to me the quickplay system isn't fully removed yet, just hidden away now. On Fri, Jul 8, 2016 at 4:02 PM, David Parker wrote: > I did not remove the tf_server_identity_account_id or > tf_server_identity_token from my autoexec.cfg, and my server shows: > >

Re: [hlds_linux] [hlds] Heads up - Updated system requirements for TF2 dedicated servers, likely mod breakage - Beta available

Had the server crashing at launch, this fixed it. Though for me all I needed to do was installing "libcurl3-gnutls:i386". Guess I'm ready for the rollout next week. :) On Tue, Feb 21, 2017 at 3:00 AM, Weasels Lair wrote: > Thanks, got that installed/upgraded (.3 was

Re: [hlds_linux] Optional Team Fortress 2 update later today (toolchain update)

Thanks for making this optional though, lets us update our server during low pop times without having to find out the nasty surprises when you got a fully community waiting on the server to go back up again. :) (I already tested the beta to see if it works on our server, but I admit I did as a

Re: [hlds_linux] Team Fortress 2 Update - Client Only

This is just a quirk with the new hud of the Jungle Inferno update. It seems like the console has a tendancy to get behind the HUD if you start the game with it (which is what I do being a advanced user). And yeah it's silly that I have to join a server or create a listen server to even being able
