They are still releasing updates for AMD64bit amxmodx. Also VAC2 seems to work on my server?

This is a multi-part message in MIME format. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Valve, We have been running Opteron servers since September 2003, I do believe we were the first to have free to play ones in the world (http://www.jolt.co.uk/index.php?articleid=329). I have seen support for 64 bit reduce over the years to the state where I have been running them in 32 bit for what seems like an eternity just so we can have VAC2 running. I know it's no replacement for a good admin team but it sure helps, the slots we can run are nowhere near the capabilities of the cpus. Even amxmodx have stopped supporting it, to quote the amxx site: "AMD64 Support - One of AMX Mod X's biggest contributions was a 64bit port of the Pawn/Small compiler and virtual machine. In fact, AMX Mod X was the first Metamod plugin to achieve AMD64 compatibility. AMX Mod does not run in 64bit mode. However, Valve has stopped maintaining their AMD64 support -- the latest AMD64 engine is missing client cvar querying and VAC2. Furthermore, the JIT is not available on AMD64, meaning a great deal of potential speed is lost. Running HLDS on AMD64 in 64bit mode is unadvised except for debugging/developer purposes." To say it will be ready when its ready is starting to sound old hat, coming up to 3 years and AMD64 support has disappeared. The future is 64 bit, can we have a definitive answer on what is the future in Valves eyes without the fob off of "it will be ready when it's ready" Regards, Knuts jolt.co.uk -- _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
