All of the GoldSrc releases should be backwards compatible right now. For the best experience for your customers you would ideally offer access to a beta or main server. As Mr 1nsane said, I would expect the trend of beta's to continue.

There's 3 or 4 versions of TF2 at the moment (including one pre steampipe) out there. All of them are listed on the server browser. Other source games might have something similar as well. Fletcher said: "In general, I think our general policy is going to be to make all updates optional unless they need to be mandatory. Unless we know that a server crash is really widespread, we probably will not release it as mandatory and impose the attending disruption on the whole community."

With multiple optional versions out there and customers receiving different experiences as a result, it has become more difficult to support these games. -John On 4/2/2013 9:46 AM, Alfred Reynolds wrote: We have released an update for these 3 games, the changes include: - Report bomb position more frequently to T team members when dropped, fixes it appearing at the wrong location on the radar -Improved firing behavior in Counter-Strike, Counter-Strike:Condition Zero and Half-Life Deathmatch, it is no longer dependant on client or server frame rate.

This is an optional, but strongly encouraged due to the game fixes, update. - Alfred _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds
