1. People are still able to download custom files when using a fast dl webserver with sv_downloadurl. Clients don't ask the gameserver for any file access, why should they? They get the files from the webserver. So feel free to set sv_allowupload to 0 then. 2. Sprays don't work in CS:GO. Are there any other files except sprays that a gameserver should download from a client? I don't know any. So no need to set sv_allowdownload to 1. Both cvars set to 0 prevent, that gameserver store or read files in the gameserver's "downloads" directory - ergo gameservers don't print the CreateFragmentsFromFile message anymore. Make sure that the downloads directory is empty of course. I use this method for years and never had any problems with downloading stuff or spammy console messages. - Andreas From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Calvin Judy Sent: Monday, October 15, 2012 11:03 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Csgo_servers] CreateFragmentsFromFile:'downloads/1ab72a88.dat' doesn't exist. That doesn't prevent the spam unfortunately, and that will also stop users from downloading custom maps directly from the server. sv_allowupload 0 (This will stop sprays from being uploaded, but it will generate the errors you're already getting, you can enable this, and allow sprays, and get rid of the errors you have now.) sv_allowdownload shouldn't be set to 0. The allowupload command when set to 0 should be revisioned by Valve to disable the checks for the client spray files, these errors have been happening since 2005. ----- Original Message ----- From: Andreas Grimm <mailto:[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, October 15, 2012 2:43 PM Subject: Re: [Csgo_servers] CreateFragmentsFromFile:'downloads/1ab72a88.dat' doesn't exist. These .dat files are usually client sprays. You can prevent this spam by setting the following to cvars to 0: sv_allowupload 0 sv_allowdownload 0 note, they are hidden and set to 1 by default. if you use any custom content, make sure you have a fast dl webserver with sv_downloadurl. otherwise people won't be able to download files. sv_allowdownload is needed for downloading client sprays, but they don't work by design in csgo, so there is no need to keep sv_allowdownload activated. once they are set to 0 the console spam (and the disk io) will stop immediately. - Andreas From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of ics Sent: Monday, October 15, 2012 8:11 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Csgo_servers] CreateFragmentsFromFile: 'downloads/1ab72a88.dat' doesn't exist. If you run linux, go to that downloads directory and type touch 1ab72a88.dat. It will create that file and spam stops. Basically downloads folder used to store spray files from people so they are usually those but that spam is harmless. -ics 15.10.2012 20:02, Benjamin Vergnaud kirjoitti: Hello guys, I have an issue and I need your help =) I have made a quick search in the mails that I have received since I'm on the ML, but didn't find any thread about it. I have 3 CS:GO servers. All of them have pretty much the same config. All of them are correctly set. I'll upload a config if you want it, but I have never had an error with those servers. I've always been able to join them, whatever the map was. However, these servers suffer from freezes. After having triple-checked everything, the only thing I have is this : CreateFragmentsFromFile: 'downloads/1ab72a88.dat' doesn't exist. It is spamming my logs like hell. I have updated my servers a couple of times, done everything I could possibly done, reinstalled them several times. This thing always comes back. If anyone has any idea what this thing is, and why it causes freezes, i'm buying. Note, the 1ab72a88 is the most common one, but ponctually, I have also seen other files than this one (other series of letters/number). Any help will be greatly appreciated.
