Re: [Csgo_servers] Notice of changes to CS:GO Game Server Operation

[Mike]

Thousands of servers will abuse this, finding a way to exploit the EXP
system, and at that point the damage is done; EXP no longer has any value.
Not to mention EXP farm servers remove the point of having a level 3 limit
for competitive.

What you're pondering will do more harm than good.

Re: [Csgo_servers] Bugs, Issues Feedback that still require focus

[Mike Rogers]

Well if you find one please share with the rest of us.   Yes, all those
things would be nice but from what I have seen over this past week.
Community servers are the last thing they care about.  No plugins for
skins, okay no problem,  Ban offending IPs or just randomly ban most.  I am
not even sure they knew what they were doing when they started this
debacle.   We have gone elsewhere for functions since the beginning, why
would it change all of the sudden.

Re: [Csgo_servers] Request to Server Operators

[Mike Rogers]

This will be a tough decision,  I use sourcemod to keep tabs on a few
things for control and admins.  I rent from a major provider and did
support for another.I did a test and moved one and it is now back
online.   It will be hard to ask owners to not use sourcemod.  I have no
problem not using any plugins except for the default.  Just give us a heads
up as to what is okay and not.  We had 2 with just knife and 2 without.
ALL were blacklisted.  What is the criteria to ban and notification to the
host would have been great.

  This type of reserved slots was possible with the connect extension(and

Try lowering sv_minrate to 8 or so.  All this will do is cause slight choke

Re: [Csgo_servers] Server Side Sv drops down to 40-60 when its full

[Mike Didiano]

For that high of a player count you will most likely need a faster core
speed.  I would say 3.2ghz or higher.   128tick with 26+ players means
you've got a LOT of data coming in at once.   This requires high core
speeds.  You could try running at 100 tickrate which will drastically lower
your CPU load.

Vanilla term is used commonly in developing communities since long time
ago... it's not only about CSGO servers... it's about any software provided
as is.  

 

Regarding problem with VAC, it seems that if you run ANY mods (not just SM,
etc) on Windows server you won't be able to run secure server, eos. So it's
either no mods, or no VAC, so far.

Oh really? Thanks for clarifying that LOL. Refer back to the line where it
was stated that when milk and ice are combined, it doesn't magically create
the flavor of vanilla. Which means, since the obvious needs to be explained,
if a server is a clean install, it is not vanilla, since a flavor (addon)
has to be added to the ice cream formula (server) to create the outcome of
vanilla. Sorry to take this off topic but sweet jesus the terms some people

Techgunner, we have been running SourceMod Anti Cheat on our servers since
last week's update as an alternative so that we are at least somewhat
protected. We have a good amount of admins fortunately so we pretty much
have someone on the server all day to help govern. The minor glitches with
SMAC, such as disappearing guns, are in my mind an acceptable issue at this
point in order to keep our servers as cheat free as possible.  

 

Everyone else, what is with the term Vanilla? Is it really necessary to have
some witty terminology for EVERYTHING? Is a server with plugins considered a
chocolate server, or even a strawberry server? Maybe we could start calling
them half moon servers if they have just basic Source mod installed with no
other plugins? Plus, it's actually stupid when you think about it because
untainted ice cream is simply milk and ice, vanilla is a flavor added. 

 

Love always and best regards, Michael.

It has been frustrating to say the least. Windows Server Administrators have
two choices. Either run the server(s) in Insecured Mode which results in
loss of players due to risk of hackers, or run the server in VAC and not be
able to use Admin plugins that have been configured to administrate the
server(s) more efficiently. And on top of that, since I posted the original
issue right after last weeks patch, I have had no response from Ido or

party mods, but in an effort to rectify the situation, should roll back the
update until they can determine the root cause of the issue.

[Csgo_servers] Suggestion: Time for an online forum

[Mike King (ToG Admin)]

Ido et al,

I think given the increase in everyone's email traffic it may well be 
better to set up a steam forum for server admin on CSGO.  This was 
requested a while ago but deemed not necessary but, as we can see from 
all the posts today after a major update, it's difficult to keep track 
of the various threads that people are emailing.


So, can Valve please set up a server admin CSGO forum on the steam network?

Mike

PS Suggestion #2 is to have an 'opt in' flag in CSGO server config that 
says if you want to be first to test out new updates - then the updates 
don't have to be mandated first time around, and admins like myself can 
opt in a casual server but opt out a competitive one..

CS:GO version 1.21.5.2, that contained protobuffered messaging, is now

To get the client, go to CS:GO properties, and select 'protobuf' on the
'betas' tab.

 

To get the matching server, append '-beta protobuf' to your steamcmd
'app_update' command. This should be done in a destination separate from the

We'll reship the new messaging in a couple of weeks.

Re: [Csgo_servers] motd crashes since latest patch

No the argument was that pinion was clearly profiting heavy from their
valve official servers.  5v5 on a 45 minute match.  We have 32 players with
15 minute map changes and make $100/mo. Gross.

 

 

Regardless, stop trying to argue on the mailing list.  

 

The motd breaking and half of net_graph disappearing is silly.

You claimed your server made $65 profit in a month.  According to
gametracker there are approximately 250 Pinion servers.  Factor in that when
Pinion pays you they're taking out their cut of the ad revenue profits, when
they pay themselves they get the whole enchilada.  Also factor in that based
on how their servers run they're probably overloading their machines to cut
costs.  I would say they're profiting quite nicely.

It is a flash related issue.  If the pinion page is the basic page with the

page the game will crash as soon as the video starts to play.   

May or may not be connected but net_graph 4 is broken as well.

Hello,

Does the srcds.exe process for csgo have a special CPU affinity or a special
priority?

I'm asking this because when I got my csgo server up and running people
reported me that it was very choppy, but not high-pinged.

The said their lerp was on yellow, and the choke was really up...meaning it
was very warppy.

This is odd because I'm running these server on a Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600
2.4Ghz and about 3GB of Ram. Under Windows 2003 Server.

It shouldn't be this warpped, right?

Re: [Csgo_servers] CS:GO system usage?

[Mike Didiano]

Part of this is my subjective opinion but when running a 32 slot high
tickrate server we experienced more stable tickrates under high
load(possibly faster load balancing among the cores?) using linux.   Also
the windows version tends to see performance hits once the server memory
usage goes over ~800Mb(CS:GO only).   Actual total CPU usage seems about the
same.  I am guessing the difference on a 12 slot server would be minimal but
I personally recommend linux.

 

I have run linux/windows game servers for the past 8 years and both offer a
great gaming experience.

And I do not have problems updating my servers, I can of course just use my
phone and ssh client with that. The problem is that the CS:GO updating
procedure is full of shit, I mean what the hell? I have 100 rental CS:GO
servers and I would have to use a separate steam account for every server?
Seriously thats freaking ridicilous. The time of day of the updates wouldn't
be such a big deal if there would be a PROPER autoupdate like in CS: Source.
Maybe Valve could just remove the requirement of steam account when using
steamcmd, I mean why the fuck its even required to have a steam account in
order to download the game files? The server is not in beta anymore?

Updating servers is trivial.  Dealing with the fallout of the updates is the
issue.  When they release updates on Friday they often have problems that
won't even get looked at until the next Monday.  TF2 is likely going to have
big problems this weekend because they're about to release a major update on
a Friday.

They dont work on weekends, and while it may be an opportune time for


you on a wednesday, it may not be for the next person.  No matter
which way they did it, someone would complain. 

The key is to just be on top of it, and find ways to make it easier
for yourself.  There have been numerous tools posted on this mailing

list already, do a search for the same issue you just posted and youll


figure it out.

I can update my servers from my Galaxy S3, so whenever I see Ido post
I immediately just hop on my panel, run my batch update, then push
that update to every other server.  It takes me less than 5 minutes
to update 15+ community servers.

Check into things like this! :}

Hi,

Is there any reason in particular why these updates have to be
always friday? Weekends are the busiest playing days and its usually
a night in here europe when you release the update (its now 01:00AM
in Finland). Would it be possible to release these updates for
example in wednesday since thats a working day and there is less
players in working days. Or what about releasing the update early in
the morning in USA so it would be afternoon here. Surely you should
concider these kinds of things and how it affects server provider
around the globe. The clock time is not so critical but the weekday
could be something else than friday.

Re: [Csgo_servers] The server doesn't run as dedicated server

[Mike Didiano]

So you are running the server on your home network?  This is the problem I
described in an earlier discussion.  If you are running from your home you
cannot log on to steam on another machine or the server will no longer allow
connections.  This is a bug that appeared 10 days before launch, and only
exists on CS:GO.

Let us know if you are indeed running this server from home.  If you are
running from home and want to test what I'm saying just log off of steam on
your other PC(s).  Then people will see your server and be able to connect
from steam servers list/steam friend/etc.

I get this issue as well. It is very, very frustrating. I've had to send out
a sm_say quite a few times saying 'Need to reboot server, please rejoin in
~60 seconds.' Someone on my friends list usually lets me know if the issue
fairly quickly, but I don't like having to tell everyone to leave and hope
they come back...makes my server look...crappy?

Some quick background:

Players can join my servers just fine.  There are no issues with the game
mode files.  I get 30 players in there without a problem, then all of the
sudden, a few will leave, and it will randomly start giving all those
connecting these errors:

 

Unknown command joingame

GameTypes: could not find matching game type .
CSysSessionClient: Cannot join lobby, response 2!

 

Now the really interesting part is that there are 2 ways to get around this
so far.  Reboot the entire server, which sucks, or wait for every player
currently playing to leave, also sucks.

 

Once the last player disconnects from the server, and its 0/30, anyone can
join again.  It is truly a mystery as to why, how it occurs, or for the life
of me how to stop it.  Does anyone have any sort of info on how to solve it
or who can at least comment on other similar issues so we may be able to get
it addressed.

Did you try changing the client and host ports on your game client to be
different from your dedicated server?

Try running with command line parameters for your game client in Steam game
launch options:

  +hostport 27036 +clientport 27037 +tv_port 27038

(assuming that these ports for your game client are still allowed through
your firewall/router)

It is one of possible problems with how NAT translation happens for
different devices behind a firewall/router on the same port.

Let me know if that fixes it for you?

I don't want to drag this out because it belongs on the forums but like I
said, my personal opinion(which isn't worth much) is that this 'bug' was
created so that people with fast internet connections couldn't run servers
from their homes, therefore selling more rentals.  I wouldn't bet my bank
account on it, but it was very bizarre that the problem arose 10 days before
launch and hasn't been addressed or mentioned whatsoever.

Regardless, I am more than happy with our switch to a professional host(we
use NFO and they take great care of us, but im sure there are other good
ones).   All of our servers use the unmanaged linux packages.  Our clan is 5
years old and I have run all of our server on my home connection which was
50/35mbit on a highly overclocked dedicated server.  This bug forced us to
change but honestly I couldn't be happier with the outcome.

The account doesn't matter. You cannot run a home server and run steam on
anoher computer. The only workaround is to use +ip 0.0.0.0 in your server
startup command line. This allows ppl to connect from the server list but
breaks connecting through steam friends.   Not worth it in my opinion.  and
as I said in my last post - this bug only surfaced 10 days before launch
and I feel it was done on purpose to sell more rental servers.  I had no
issue connecting to servers hosted at home until the large patch 10 days b4

It's a bug when running a server on your home network while you are logged
in to steam on another machine.  Try logging off of steam and the problem
vanishes.  This bug arose 10 days before launch, and if you ask me it was a
part of a ploy to sell more rental servers.   It worked for our clan ;)  But
we have also grown a lot since then and are very happy with our new

Re: [Csgo_servers] Problems with players connecting

The problem only exists in CS:GO and nobody can connect to the server once I
log on to steam(I don't even need to launch CS:GO).

Did you try changing the client and host ports on your game client to be
different from your dedicated server?

Try running with command line parameters for your game client in Steam game
launch options:

  +hostport 27036 +clientport 27037 +tv_port 27038

(assuming that these ports for your game client are still allowed through
your firewall/router)

It is one of possible problems with how NAT translation happens for
different devices behind a firewall/router on the same port.

Let me know if that fixes it for you?

Re: [Csgo_servers] [Update issue]v1.20.2.0 Menu problems....

It has to do with the overlay when you are dead.  They do not 'break our
menus on purpose'.  It probably has to do with fixing an exploit more than
anything.  You all seem to think their #1 priority is making sure they don't
break mods.   Anyone that has run a gungame python server over the past 5
years knows that they do what they can but ultimately it is the mod
communitys responsibility to adapt their addon to the game.   So much
whining on here.

No, it's not the fault of a plugin. Menus are plain unusable when you are

And SourceMod does not use some kind of black magic way to open menus, those
are the default menus we are talking about.

 Hi guys.

 I'm quite appalled by the number of people whining here.

 How, on earth, are you guys able to judge what issues are important 
 or not ? Or what they are working on or not ?

 Because you don't care about an issue doesn't mean everyone think the 
 same way. All issues are important. Not to the same level, agreed, but
still.
 Stop saying they fix things nobody cares about, it's just plain wrong.
 With the same reasoning, why do you think they're not working on 
 other issues too ? Did it ever occured to you that they might ALSO be 
 working on more important issues, but that they just take more time 
 on those, to release a decent fix, that will work, instead of another 
 reason for you to whine ?
 This is even more true when we know that most of you guys have no 
 clue, really. Most of you are far from being developpers, and even 
 further from being professional.

 These guys spend part of their weeks working to improve this game. 
 The majority of their work on CS:GO is about fixing issues. They 
 release patches at a reasonable rate.
 Do you really think they don't give a crap ? Then why do they keep 
 working ? They could've released the game and moved on.

 I don't even know how they can remain motivated while working for 
 such a community. My point ? You are babies (well most of you).

 Originally, a mailing list is used to address issues to the devs. So 
 address them, and that's it. If people want to add their experience, 
 it's cool, it helps even more. But quit whining. IT DOESN'T HELP.

 Start by doing their job before saying they're incapable of doing it.

 And before anyone says something stupid, NO, i'm not saying they're 
 doing a perfect job.

Sure competitive play is important, but it is definitely not the only
thing that is important to players, there is a huge community of
players who do not play competitively at all. One of the strengths of
CS has always been the fact that it supports more modding than most
games, giving it the ability to be extended and allow modders to
provide many variations of game play, allowing the game to have a
longer lifespan. If something is not done about the huge number of
issues which make many kinds of customization impossible, this game
will not be nearly as successful as previous versions of CS.

I'm curious - how many of the 1.6 players are US based and how many are in

is the place for something like this but I'm so sick of the 1.6 references.
CS was completely full of bugs when it was released.  CS:S was completely
full of bugs when it was released.   I won't argue and say that they rushed
the release of CS:GO, but if you look at the strides it has made SINCE
launch I think they're doing a great job and I'm excited for what else

I think the popularity of CS:GO is a direct reflection of the unexperienced
development skills of Hidden Path Entertainment, If we go back to mid 2009,
Counter Strike: Source was booming, there were times I saw it peak at 90k
concurrent players, then during the beginning of 2010, the Orangebox move
was completed, and Hidden Path took over the development of CS:S, which now
can't even provide better statistics that 1.6. I'm not stating one game is
better than the other, I'm just going off of release dates, in general I
feel a game released in 2004 should have more players than a game released
in 1999. (With the exclusion of any game Infinity Ward has ever produced,
just kidding?)

 

If we take a dive into Hidden Path's background, we'll find that they've
only released one other title under the HPE name. (Source:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hidden_Path_Entertainment
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hidden_Path_Entertainment)

 

It's a tower defense game,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defense_Grid:_The_Awakening
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defense_Grid:_The_Awakening. (released in 2008)

 

And then Valve lets them loose on developing one of the world's most
successful first person shooters?

If you aren't clear about what the Valve mailing lists are, they are exactly
a place for server operators to help out eachothers. This is not a place for
developing the game and Valve people only answer some questions out of
courtesy. It's been like this since 2005 in hlds_linux and hlds lists and
same way is here. This is just targeted for CSGO while the older lists are
for older games.

They do what they want, we don't have to obey and can discontinue running
servers anytime That's the difference. That being said, CSGO is the worst
release so far i've seen in 8 years when it comes to how ready the game was
when it was shipped. Maybe they listened the  pro's too much and forgot
that the main playerbase of the cs games have been the communities and
random players, not the competitive side. While it is important to some,
it's not the only thing that matters.

Its clear they dont care about the community but only official servers. This
has basically turned into a mailing list for us to help us. Anything we try
and relay to the devs gets ignored and they only post when an update is
inbound that likely limits us even more. Anyone else feel they are pushing

computers can't connect to it. Can't they make it where the client PC's are
backwards compatible ?

Re: [Csgo_servers] 1.20.1.1

[Mike Didiano]

So if your business relied on the stability/features of said update you
would wait before releasing it?  _

 

Just because it's an inconvenient time for you doesn't make it worth holding
back.  If you don't like the hassle of updating your servers then possibly
switch to a managed hosting environment. 

 

I am personally happy that they pushed out the update.  Give them to us as
quickly as possible!

Yes. I am aware of various ways to better the update process. However, 8
minutes of warning shouldn't be enough for anyone.  For those where this
update was in the wee hours of the morning you should be in my corner a bit
more  

 

I manage an IT environment and never release updates on Friday. Especially
since HPE isn't usually around on the weekend in the event of a botched
update. This doesn't apply to serious security fixes, which this update was
not.

 

I too have the ability to remote in via my phone and one click update (with
backup) but was in a situation where I didn't have access

 

For the one that said you updated 30 minutes after the update and had full
servers just think about that. You were in that sweet spot of update time.
If you update quickly then you will get populated due to the myriad of other
servers not having been updated. Even if you are normally full you will fill
up faster

 

I'm just saying we are in a era of communication and I expect a company such
as valve/HPE to have an earlier notification. But if they have people
shutting down people like me asking for earlier warning with such comments
like deal with it, we used to never have notification then valve/HPE won't
do anything about it

Re: [Csgo_servers] 1.20.1.1

[Mike Didiano]

Well... you definitely can't make everyone happy.  I for one would like to
get each update as soon as possible.  Especially this early in the release.

 

I don't think anyone is 'defending' HPE.  We have just been running servers
for long enough to know that there will always be updates like this.
Remember the OB update(s) for CS:S?

 

You're asking them to delay an update that contains bug fixes to make it
more convenient for you.  Again, I think it's better that they release the
update as soon as possible and let everyone upgrade at their convenience.
Like one of the responses earlier - what if they claim there will be an
update today at 6pm, so we all get on wait for 2-3 hours only to find it is
delayed.  Then there would be 10x as many people complaining.

 

We are lucky to have one of the devs giving a heads-up  of any kind.  

 

If you want to argue further about this I suggest posting on the forums
where opinions belong.

Mike, I'm not sure this particular update called for a mandatory update or
not - from the description (at first glance) it didn't appear to warrant a
mandatory flag especially with the heading [ Minor Fixes ]... There are
always better ways of doing things and you guys shouldn't be trying to shut
someone down from voicing that fact.

 

You guys work for HPE?  Defending them tooth and nail...

 

I know I have to do whatever Valve/HPE decide and how they decide to do it -

Re: [Csgo_servers] Server Memory Leak?

[Mike Didiano]

This only seems to happen on servers holding more than 25 people.  I have
tried vanilla but it makes no difference.  One thing I did notice is they
are definitely more stable under linux as far as the memory leak is
concerned.  Under windows, even with plenty of resources left, the server
would start dropping frames as the memory went over 900mb and this doesn't
seem to be happening on Debian.  Server was up for 24 hours without a
crash(first time since launch!).  BUT the memory usage still got up to
900mb.  See, I can live with that.  Just trying to limit crashes/restarts.

Thanks a lot for all the advice everyone.

I don't notice any performance hit on my TF2 servers when it gets to the
900MB mark, but I do have a restart script that runs daily because of these
leaks.

I haven't been able to tell if CS:GO is the same for me in terms of memory
usage (I assumed so when planning out resources) as like most of the
community servers it is empty most of the time.

 Looks like I'm seeing it on CentOS as well.

 Is valve aware of this or are there any fixes other than restarting

 server every 4 hours?

[Csgo_servers] Server Memory Leak?

Strongly considering switching to linux until this is resolved.

Is your server full ics?  And how many max players?  I'm 32 max and full
most of the day/night.

If there is a memory leak, it only affects Windows. Linux is fine. 4 days
now on in a row and 600MB memory usage.

Btw do you have sv_pure on? Could be the cause.
