I really have no logs or proof, but it's happened on more than one occasion. Starting a demo can apparently under some circumstances crash a server.
This happens in both L4D and TF2 engines, and it usually happens after having played on a server for a while, and starting a demo. Specifically, I played through the entire versus campaign of No Mercy and decided to start a demo for the finale, and the server begins timing out, and drops connection...The server had not previously showed any signs of stress like most servers will before timing out (high ping for all players, laggy movements, random lag spikes or ~5 second timeouts), it was an otherwise normal server the lobby connected us to. Again, I don't have any logs, but I thought the list would like to know in case someone has noticed this and does have logs of this happening. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
