This gives server operators the option to have it unloaded completely. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>] On Behalf Of Frank Sent: Thursday, April 18, 2013 2:06 PM To: 'Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list' Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Mandatory Team Fortress 2 update released Ok this is the 2nd one of these I've gotten today.
