Re: [hlds] [hlds_linux] Ok, I am totally drawing a blank here, on a HLDS install for HL1

2015-01-16 Thread Weasels Lair
I guess they never implemented the "UpToDateCheck" for the GoldSrc titles
either.  Not that anything GoldSrc gets updated very often anyway.  But I
opened a "suggestion" for that, on their GitHub yesterday anyway.

Are they having issues with some DoS attack on those servers that happen to

 Hi, I have a temporary workaround for Steamcmd failing to

 Steam for many days now. The following worked for me:

 1. In your steamcmd directory, make a backup of config/config.vdf
 2. Open config/config.vdf and find the IP addresses listed under
 InstallConfigStore -> Software -> Valve -> Steam -> CM
 3. Remove the IP addresses starting with 208.* (note that the addresses
 are delimited by semicolons)
 4. Re-run steamcmd and login

 Again, this is only temporary, and you should restore the backed-up
 copy when things are back to normal."

Re: [hlds] Steamcmd Outage?

2015-01-16 Thread Ross Bemrose
While I haven't seen any comments in public about it, one of Valve's
engineers is working on the problem.  We've had some email exchanges back
and forth which involved me sending steamcmd connection logs, steamcmd
command-line switches, the steamcmd runscript I use, plus ping and
traceroute from my NFOServers Chicago VPS to one of Valve's Steam servers.

There's a new version of steamcmd out now.  The timeout hasn't changed, but
now it will try 4 different servers before it gives up.

For me, my current list has two 208 servers before the first 72 server, so
it waits for the first two to time out before actually connecting to the
third and checking for updates.

 I have tried two completely different servers in different data centres

Re: [hlds] Steamcmd Outage?

2015-01-16 Thread Robert Paulson
Why is the timeout on the connection so long?

If the timeout was shorter and it didn't keep trying to connect to the
first IP in config.vdf every time there would actually be a point to having
multiple CM server entries.

Can someone at Valve comment?

When I follow your steams and run SteamCMD again it redownloaded that

It updated TF2 just fine though.
I reedited that vdf file and saved a copy of the modified version.

Someone posted this workaround on csgo_servers yesterday:


Hi, I have a temporary workaround for Steamcmd failing to connect/login. My 
server is in New Jersey, and has been unable to login to Steam for many days 
now. The following worked for me:

1. In your steamcmd directory, make a backup of config/config.vdf
2. Open config/config.vdf and find the IP addresses listed under InstallConfigStore ->

4. Re-run steamcmd and login

Again, this is only temporary, and you should restore the backed-up copy when 
things are back to normal.


according to Ross:

The path on Linux is likely ~/Steam/config/config.vdf regardless of where
the actual steamcmd binary is installed.
