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.
We are working on some mechanisms so that you can tell (and gracefully roll over to) a new version when an optional update is released. -----Original Message----- From: hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of Ross Bemrose Sent: Thursday, May 02, 2013 11:54 AM To: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Optional updates available for TF2, CS:S, DoD:S, and HL2:MP And on that note, can we please get server crash fixes as required updates rather than optional updates? Clients already auto-update to the optional updates, but servers *don't*. On Thu, May 2, 2013 at 2:50 PM, Kyle Sanderson <kyle.l...@gmail.com> wrote: > Just a warning to those who update.
