Date: Wed, 15 Feb 2006 07:45:19 +0100 Just to clear something up for you :) The server is free and people "sell" servers for their own profit, not Valves. Why files on your server is getting currupted is not really something Alfred should worry about unless it's the engine or updateservers who currupt them. I presume you have a firewall and antivirus on your systems? -Alex -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Munra -hlds Sent: 15. februar 2006 04:38 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [hlds] The Famous "Your Map de_dust differs from the server" ERROR. I am helping irv with this problem. I have to say He left out alot of information. I have to Say this problem really Pisses me off. We can sell server and we can't even run clan servers will not help from valve at all. I sent Alferd an e-mail he told me to run memtest and the mailing list said to run prime95. Which we have with no errors. Here is a copy of an e-mail I sent to Alferd with More info. On a side not Alferd has not replyed for some reason. Alfred please help We are in need of help to solve a on going problem with "server side" map differs errors. When clients connect to any of our 1U servers they will get Map differs errors on the stock maps. This error happens on stock source css, 1.6, and Source DOD maps. We have a OZ server running for the last week that has had no issues as of this writing. Here are the server specs. Server 2 dual amd 2400+ mps Tyan mb 2 gig ecc pc 2100 2 sata 10000 rmp Raptors 36Gb raid 0 win 2000 Server 1 dual amd 2400+ mps Tyan mb 2 gig ecc pc 2100 2 IDE 7200 rmp 40 gig Fedora core 4 At one time both servers were exactly the same,(same as Server 1 but with windows installed) We thought it might be a hard drive issue so we upgraded Server 2 with new Raptor 36 gig hard drives/raid 0 and installed Fedora on server 1 hoping to elimante it from being a Windows OS problem. After the upgrade to this 1U we ran Memtest for 14 hours and a 2nd session of 6 hours with no errors, we also ran Prime95 over night with no errors. Within 5 hours of the fresh server 2000 install/hard drives on server 2 the stock maps started to differ, the other 1U(server 1) ran for almost 2 weeks on stock Source CSS maps before having this problem and it gets worse every day. Again this same problem happens on both 1U boxs to stock .bsp files and a few .wav files on the Linux box, all verified by the hlds tool/verify all command The Source CSS server`s "map differs" errors is 4 to 1 to the 1.6 server We have also noticed that the .bsp that differ are haveing the md5 hash/check sum changed. However we can not find what is changing them. The only way to fix them is to run the hldsupdatetool with -verify_all and have it redownload the stock maps and then they work. We need to run the hlds tool about every 4 hours or less. This is my plea Help us.... I will run any program you suggest or give you complete access to one or both boxs if this problem interests you at all.

The Famous "Your Map de_dust differs from the server" ERROR. It happens with all stock or at one time or another any custom map we run in no recognizable pattern. We have had this annoying problem for a long long time on 2 1U boxs we use to run CSS, DOD and CS servers on. I do not know if its a Steam issue or a OS issue of some sort. This has nothing to do with the client side files, FTP programs or the Bz2 files hosted for downloading on a separate website so please do not even bring it up. We have a fresh install of Server 2000 as a set of new HD`s were just added. All the server files were downloaded directly from Steam with the hldsupdatetool and a NEW "STOCK" Source server was setup and running. There was no FTP program installed or used for these files. We decide to test the server with the stock install as we hoped we had corrected the issue on this box, but it was not running more than 5 hours when we started getting "Your Map any_stockmap differs from the server" Out of the 17 Stock maps 8 of them were then updated by hldsupdatetool with "update -game "Counter-Strike Source" -dir D:\CSS\AnB -verify_all -retry" command to fix the problem as we have done this so many times before. On Custom Map differs we delete and upload to the server again. This can happen on a daily basis to any maps or just the same one for a while and some times can go a week or so with out happening. At about 6:30 pm this evening on the last differ of "de_dust" we deleted a members client gfc contenet and then updated, connected to the server and still had a differ problem. I do not know if it`s an issue with our 1U`s as they were identical up to the fresh OS install and adding new HD`s to 1 of them. Both have Dual 2400`s Tyan Mobos, 2 GB ECC ram and run Server 2000 1 has Dual 7200RPM IDE 1 has Dual 10000RPM SATA I am hoping someone you has had this same problem will be able to provide a definitive answer for this so I am offering a finders fee of $50.00 dollars sent via PayPal or Western Union to the first person who supplys me with a solution on how to fix this very annoying problem. I will consider it money well spent! I have gone thru a good number of Search topics to know we are not the only server with this problem and as I am not a subscriber to the Linux list I do not know if they also have "map differs" issue`s. If they do not suffer from these same problems a change of OS may have to be considered. we know it is not client side it is the server changing the files every few hours i have $6000 in these two boxes please help i thought i would ask the brains of the operation like i said please help Ok we thought it was a ram issue not the case we still have the problem this is the specs of the APPRO 1U Dual AMD Athlon MP IDE Server Tyan S2469NG Thunder K7 IDE motherboard 350W PFC Power Supply 8MB Video and Dual NIC (1-10/100 & 1-Gigabit) onboard 64bit/66MHz PCI Riser Included Dual (2x) AMD Athlon 2400+ MP 2GB (4x512MB) PC2100 Registered ECC DDR RAM 2x Internal Seagate EIDE, 40GB, 7200RPM Running Server 2000 all updates are up to date this has been an ongoing problem from day one the stock maps for DoD,source,CStrike 1.6 the only server that the maps don't differ is OZ our last resort is to change the mother board and cpu's that is all that is left to change five of us are trying to fix this problem and we have been at all of the links you sent me and tryed everything they said and same result _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
