This issue has been raised many times now, each time it seems to be dismissed in one way or another, and yet servers everywhere are still experiencing these Stringtable crashes. Servers running custom maps and content are basically under siege. Stock maps and modes may work alright with the various improvements Valve has made, but don't think for a second that these errors have been eradicated. Even small amounts of custom content put servers at risk for Stringtable crashes, and running full 32 players on a custom map with plugins nowadays is akin to server suicide. The crashes have been around for years now yes, but MvM has exponentially increased the frequency that they occur at. Yes we aren't forced to use custom content, sure it's not Valve's responsibility to accommodate us, but considering everything worked perfectly fine before the stupid robots showed up, it sucks pretty hard knowing that a lot of this game's modding potential has been destroyed by the fact that servers with custom content won't last more than 20 minutes before a crash.
I know there are other people out there that share my concerns, if you're experiencing these problems as well I encourage you to speak up in hopes that maybe TF2 can go back to being the modding paradise it used to be. > From: [email protected] > Subject: hlds_linux Digest, Vol 59, Issue 27 > To: [email protected] > Date: Fri, 18 Jan 2013 12:00:02 -0800 > > Send hlds_linux mailing list submissions to > [email protected] > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > [email protected] > > You can reach the person managing the list at > [email protected] > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of hlds_linux digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
