Thanks, Valve. It was hard enough to get a game going on any of our servers with the dwindling number of people playing CSGO. But now that the TAB workaround for entering menu selections while dead or in spec no longer works, well, that pretty much kills our servers. People can't vote unless they're alive. Oh and once again, this is a change made in the update you didn't even document. We do not use built-in votes (never have on ANY of the valve shooter games that have offered them, ie, TF2, L4D*, etc.) because there are not near enough safeguards to prevent the many kinds of abuse possible by joe public. Like, "heh this is a nice server let's votekick everybody off and we'll have our super-leet match here" - and they proceed to votekick everybody else that comes along too. Or immunity from those votes, if you are somebody the server operators do not want to be able to be kicked by a vote kick. You cannot have that kind of control over your server, particularly without tools or intelligent commands and @#$@#$@!! MENUS that greatly ease needing to take quick action WITHOUT USING ADMIN MODS LIKE SOURCEMOD. But, you broke the menu system even worse than it was already broken. Now our workaround to deal with the already-broken behavior is gone too. Valve if you want CSGO to survive you need to prioritize better. Cmon, how important is it really to give "competitive" players a matchmaking lobby that places them some random competitive mode server out there? The entire notion is fraught with irony. I seriously doubt I am the only person in this scene who believes that people who want to run competitive matches need to GET THEIR OWN SERVER and quit trying to take over somebody else's. But there is Valve, delivering once again to the "gimme gimme" crowd while major game playability or management defects go unresolved. For example, the complete inability to make remote rcon connections to the gameserver even from inside the local network to run tools like HLSW, or from a connected game client. Anyway, back to the menu problem: Valve claims that voting up bugs that we want fixed is how to get their attention on it -- so here's the bug for the menus, folks. I say it's time to "get out the vote": http://64bitvps.com/csgo/ticket/bug-custom-hudgui-popups-do-not-work-correctly-when-deadobserving-cant-be-closed-with-0/ FIX THIS BUG OR YOU ARE GOING TO LOSE A LOT OF COMMUNITY SERVER SUPPORT _______________________________________________ Csgo_servers mailing list [email protected] https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/csgo_servers
