[hlds] Quickplay not activating?
Has anyone noticed issues with Quickplay since about 2 weeks ago? We have several servers, some of which have no issues filling, but others get no quickplay traffic at all as of late, despite having both a gameserver identity (in good standing) and tf_mm_servermode set to 1. Some of those affected were regularly full of QP traffic, and seem to have just died overnight. Even if we get 6 people in the server, not one single person comes in via Quickplay, whereas before, you would at least see the odd person come in until the server was full. There are also no configuration differences (Except the running maps) between servers that do fill and those that don't. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds
Re: [hlds] Quickplay not activating?
We've been through this a few weeks ago - check for other Quickplay threads. Basically there are just fewer people playing these days. As I noted, probably Valves Halloween event will bring back a good number of them. My less popular server is also not filling anymore.

Re: [hlds] Quickplay not activating?
I did read that thread, thanks. Moreso because it was from full one day to DEAD the next, not a gradual decline like we've seen in other servers.

[hlds] Half-Life game missing
Still having trouble with this. Missing something I expect. When I run the hlds, the game 'Half-Life' is still unavailable from the 'Game' drop-down-list. I have 'Deathmatch Classic', 'Day of Defeat' etc, but no 'Half-Life' Help!

Re: [hlds] Half-Life game missing
If you're looking for the Half-Life 1 multiplayer server, it's Half-Life: DeathMatch Classic. Incidentally, in hldsupdatetool, Half-Life: DeathMatch Classic is dmc, not hldm. According to hldsupdatetool's -command list that is.

Re: [hlds] Half-Life game missing
While we're on the subject of hldsupdatetool, is there any way to make it stop prompting for privilege escalation on Windows? My server test account has has Full Control for the directory hldsupdatetool is in, so there's no reason for it to require administrative privileges. It throws a UAC prompt anyway. Oh, and running it from an administrator cmd.exe is not an acceptable alternative as it's an inherent security risk. Which reminds me of why I run Linux servers in the first place... hldsupdatetool runs fine without root permissions over there.

Re: [hlds] Half-Life game missing
I used Windows 2000 for the longest time for my half-life servers. Recently I used XP (I know, I know...but hey, it got the job done). I finally converted to linux, and have never looked back. But to answer the question, is disabling UAC an option?
