[hlds] debug command line switch?

There's no outgoing ports blocked via firewall or router, though 27015 is the only one allowed into the lan (besides port 80). The web server and game server are on 2 different boxes, with all ports open over the lan.

Re: [hlds] debug command line switch?
basic troubleshooting, remove all addons... There's no sense wondering why something is going on if you're not going to try to track it down. Remove everything you'd added, see if behaviour goes away or keeps happening. If it goes away, put your addons back *one at a time* until you see the behaviour return, and then go bug the people that develop the addon at fault. It's only Valve's responsibility if it is happening with no 3rd party software present.

Re: [hlds] windows 2003 memory tweaking
Scott Tuttle wrote: One simple way of forcing Windows to use more ram and less hard drive for paging is to set you page file size and do not allow windows to manage it's own file size. But do keep in mind windows is designed to page data that is not needed out of RAM into the page file. Restricting your page file could set off a bit of thrashing. This is a bad idea. Windows is not designed to page out data that is not needed from RAM. It is designed to allocate space in the page file for running applications regardless of the amount of ram on the system. If you start a program it will automatically allocate space in the page file equivalent TO allow the storage of that application in the page file system only incase it needs to do so. You should always have a page file that is the equivilant size of the amount of memory you have even if you dont expect windows to use the page file for actually paging an application.

Re: [hlds] windows 2003 memory tweaking
MS themselves say that there is no way for us to know how much of any process is in RAM and how much is in the pagefile, so, I don't know where you're getting this information from. Besides, *everything* is in virtual memory. And there is no point in keeping pages in RAM that aren't being accessed when that RAM could be actively used for some other purpose. If pages are active, they'll be in RAM, don't worry about it. On 8/12/05, dexion [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all, Just wondering about something. I have all windows2003 boxes and run multiple instances of hlds and srcds. I notice for instance that if I run x bumber of servers I am using 1.6 gigs of ram total, but only about 1000 of that would be in the actual physical ram. The rest is is virtual. I have 2 gigs of ram per box. My question would be, is there any performance gain in trying to push more of the hlds/srcds process into physical ram? I dont really experience any problems, but I would like to use the ram as opposed the virtual since I have it why not use it if there is a benefit. Would the -heapsize switch help since I do not use it? Anyone out there know how to get windows to be more sparing with the virtual and push more into physical ram? Why would the os want to use any virtual since im under the physical ram in the first place?

Re: [hlds] windows 2003 memory tweaking
There are servel paths to manage memory. Most of these paths are not published due to the prue fact the MS does not want to end up supporting a bunce of wet needles that are tring to over perform there OS so there solitare runs better. Please keep in mind that any thing you read from Microsoft is designed to lower impact on support, so they will never suggest you mess with a setting that is potential to cause the avagrage consumer to crash there system, espacialy when that can cause a problem loging in, forcing you into safe mode to correct the problem.

Virtual Memory is always in use, even when the memory required by all running processes does not exceed the amount of RAM installed on the system. You should always have a pagefile, and it should be larger than your installed RAM, even if you have tons of RAM and your memory usage never nears your RAM limit. The people that wrote the memory manager in the OS are telling you this, and you're thinking they don't know what they're talking about?

I read on some forum, probly a cheating one or some news post, that C-D is based on the same hooking method as the original OGC.

Re: [hlds] Roll back on client
Yeah well... no one asked for a X64 Version... However, this last update took a working product and caused not only X64 Clients to stop working properly but affected a number of other OS clients... as well, Hence the 3 days straight of uploads. Now it would be simple if X64 only ran 64 bit applications.. However, X64 runs both 64 bit and 32 bit apps. Alfred, has already mentioned this last update has caused an impact to those playing in the game more so in X64...and working on repairing what was broken in the last updates, Thanks for the insight... But there are people playing on 32 bit who are also having the same problem with LOW FPS and High Ping rates. Oh on a seperate note.. the X64 run the SRCDS Server with no problems what so ever under the WOW64 technology that supports running 32 bit apps under the 64 Bit OS... So you would think the Server would be affected. But, sorry to report, it is running fine. I should know I host on X64 a server as well.. and have seen numerous post of other 64 bit Systems here in passing. So I do not see where your comment of running Steam in the first place was fortunate... My thoughts are simple... If it works so be it.. if enough people Spend thier hard earn dollars to support a company in it's venture and there is a problem correct it. 64 Bit is here to stay this is not a passing fad. Why would all the industry be moving more and more to the 64 bit..??? Sorry to vent... but I love when people make statements about X64 and yet do not own or activily work on the platforms that support it... So on to the facts: 1) Steam is currently a 32 bit application. No current 64 bit application and may never have one. Shame based on the number of servers out there will eventually find some other companys product to support and will jump ship. 2) 64 bit processors where up till last updates processing 32 bit applications fine, So change in the Engine or Optimization changed. Opps, something changed that caused this problem... Time to review the change log and isolate the problem(s) to restore the product where all will continue to support it and future products coming out. 3) Steam at current, is not pursuing a 64 application. Money lost if they do not follow through with including this technology. Sounds like the old Win3.1 and 95 days... those companies lost massive revenues by not including newer technology and a number of them disappeared over time. The End User moved on to someone that did support more modern technology.

All you need to know really. Jim wrote: Yeah well... no one asked for a X64 Version... However, this last update took a working product and caused not only X64 Clients to stop working properly but affected a number of other OS clients... as well, Hence the 3 days straight of uploads. Now it would be simple if X64 only ran 64 bit applications.. However, X64 runs both 64 bit and 32 bit apps. Alfred, has already mentioned this last update has caused an impact to those playing in the game more so in X64...and working on repairing what was broken in the last updates, Thanks for the insight... But there are people playing on 32 bit who are also having the same problem with LOW FPS and High Ping rates. Oh on a seperate note.. the X64 run the SRCDS Server with no problems what so ever under the WOW64 technology that supports running 32 bit apps under the 64 Bit OS... So you would think the Server would be affected. But, sorry to report, it is running fine. I should know I host on X64 a server as well.. and have seen numerous post of other 64 bit Systems here in passing. So I do not see where your comment of running Steam in the first place was fortunate... My thoughts are simple... If it works so be it.. if enough people Spend thier hard earn dollars to support a company in it's venture and there is a problem correct it. 64 Bit is here to stay this is not a passing fad. Why would all the industry be moving more and more to the 64 bit..??? Sorry to vent... but I love when people make statements about X64 and yet do not own or activily work on the platforms that support it... So on to the facts: 1) Steam is currently a 32 bit application. No current 64 bit application and may never have one. Shame based on the number of servers out there will eventually find some other companys product to support and will jump ship. 2) 64 bit processors where up till last updates processing 32 bit applications fine, So change in the Engine or Optimization changed. Opps, something changed that caused this problem... Time to review the change log and isolate the problem(s) to restore the product where all will continue to support it and future products coming out. 3) Steam at current, is not pursuing a 64 application. Money lost if they do not follow through with including this technology. Sounds like the old Win3.1 and 95 days... those companies lost massive revenues by not including newer technology and a number of them disappeared over time. The End User moved on to someone that did support more modern technology. Okay enough Venting.. and back to the original problem, When can we or will find a cure to the problem at hand for restoring the game client's so more people can play. - Jim - Original Message - From: Shawn Zipay [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Sent: Sunday, August 14, 2005 1:36 PM Subject: Re: [hlds] Roll back on client Last I knew Valve doesn't support X64.

Re: [hlds] Roll back on client
Really I don't understand how you don't realize the fact that X64 just isn't a supported OS. To roll back an update that is working fine for a majority of the people is just asinine. Perhaps if the update caused major problems on 32bit OS's then there'd be cause for alarm. Why? Because Windows 32bit IS supported. X64 is not. Don't get upset when I'm only stating the facts of the matter. Listen, I'm sorry that the game doesn't work as you'd expect, but this is just like when people use beta software and then complain when it crashes or breaks other applications somehow.

It would be a lie to say I've followed this thread closely, so wanted clarification on which piece of the software this is affecting (server or client). - Original Message - From: Jim [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Sent: Sunday, August 14, 2005 7:43 PM Subject: Re: [hlds] Roll back on client Okay... so to end this whole problem... I guess I am wrong to Bitch, Moan and Groan, Because I have a Problem and a part of a small select group affected as well... Well excuse the Hell of me and all the little people for bringing this up and taken so much of your time... when the pupose of this forum is to post errors and problems to hopefully find a solution... Thanks for informing me that I was so wrongly confused... But seems funny really when -sports which affected a small group of people... was given alot of attention... When someone was having People Getting bumped on a single server was a big issue... And you talk about Oh Well guess you are screwed when it is those buying the client making the money for Steam... It is not the person who is hosting the game... seeing how you can download the server for free... So who is more important... getting the Users who support the Game and put bread on the table buying the client.. or the Server??? At this point althou the new released products look kinda of nice...and was considering checking them out, until I see a fix I will not waste any more money on this company to support them. Enough Said... I will just shut my mouth and forget I have a Problem with my OS. and hopefully next time I get this good of a screwing I atleast get kissed and respected in the morning...

That is not the case. At last check there are some 30.5K users playing CS: Source alone right now. That is hardly the majority of CS: Source owners that are experiencing the problem you describe be it on X64 or 32bit OS's. Like I said, sorry for your problems, but to roll back an update that is working fine for a majority of users would not make any sense. As for the beta software comment it was an example used to illustrate a point.

Re: [hlds] DoD Exploit
Thx for the heads up, i have made a amxmodx plugin to detect this exploit. If someone has a populated DoD server and can help me beta test, please email me offlist.

Re: [hlds] Roll back on client
/sigh Why does this list have such a troll infestation Thanks, but I don't believe he was asking you. No its not UNSUPPORTED, Valve has said, several times, they are working on it. So there IS support there, at some level or another. So while we all appreciate you pointing out the obvious (they do not OFFICALLY support 64bit) I think he isnt really interested in what you have to say, unless you work for valve. Even then, since you can't read, that still wouldnt do us any good. Find something useful to add, or DONT ADD ANYTHING to the conversation.

Re: [hlds] Roll back on client
Shawn Zipay: I dont understand how you don't realize you don't know wtf you are talking about. READ the mails that come over this list from valve, you'll soon find out what you are saying is dead wrong. Actually, I agree, a rollback on the updates is about a dumbass way to go about fixing this. Even for 32bit OSs, btw. Finally, and I hate to point out the obvious, but since you just don't seem to get it, here it goes The only way Valve is going to know if these updates screw up the 64bit servers (we're not talking about clients here), IS IF THEY POST ABOUT IT. So FFS, like I said, if you don't have something USEFUL to say, or in this case even understand the issue, don't comment on it. I could go on and explain myself, but really I've wasted enough time on this already. Just remember, BETA software doesn't get outta beta without TESTING and REPORTING of issues. -Smurf Message: 5 Date: Sun, 14 Aug 2005 19:50:14 -0400 From: Shawn Zipay [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: [hlds] Roll back on client Reply-To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Really I don't understand how you don't realize the fact that X64 just isn't a supported OS. To roll back an update that is working fine for a majority of the people is just asinine. Perhaps if the update caused major problems on 32bit OS's then there'd be cause for alarm. Why? Because Windows 32bit IS supported. X64 is not. Don't get upset when I'm only stating the facts of the matter. Listen, I'm sorry that the game doesn't work as you'd expect, but this is just like when people use beta software and then complain when it crashes or breaks other applications somehow. Completely unnecessary. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds

[hlds] Coming Soon BS...
Valve, Wasn't going to post about this, but every time I look at it, it pisses me off. S... [rant=on] DOD:S has been coming soon for almost a year, and now to add insult to injury, you put ANOTHER game in the coming soon category? Didn't you learn your lesson the first time? Not only will it likely be in coming soon for a while still, but don't you think you should release the game you *already* said was coming soon, first? If you took a vote of all the DOD players, I'm sure they would, most of them anyway, rather you release the damn beta at this point. Let us work the bugs out :P Now, one other thing. When I paid for HL2, I was told, on your website, I would get DOD:S. There was no, let me say that again, NO mention of it not being released yet until you clicked a link to take you to more info on DOD:S. Didn't see that until after I paid for HL2. May be different now, but thats how it was when I paid for my copy. Now, that's fine (not really, but for the purposes of this discussion), because I know it'll get here one day. However, for those of us who don't like CS or DM, would be nice to have our mods playable too. So hows about taking this lost coast group and putting them to work on DOD:S, get that out the door, then come back to LC. I don't remember being told I would get LC when I paid for HL2, DOD:S I did. Ok, that made me feel better. [/rant=off] -Smurf ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds

Re: [hlds] Coming Soon BS...
Valve may have no control over DoD:S. I thought it was Activision that was holding the game due to whatever reasons.
