Does anyone know how to fix this issue? I have been running a TF2 MvM
server for about a week. It will randomly crash with this error. I've tried
running srcds on a Server 2003 R2 and a Windows XP machine, both test were
on different hardware..
There are no mods installed.

Re: [hlds] Digest format seems to be broken?

Why is there a mailing list anyways? Wouldn't it be more efferent to use

 I'll admit, the MvM update is pushing a lot of traffic on this list

 Two weeks ago I started getting 3 emails in a single digest email.

 Today I am getting a SINGLE (1) email in a digest email. I might as

 Until the boys at Valve get this fixed, do you guys mind not including

Subject: Re: [hlds] Steam support library

Ok this is getting annoying. Normally I am pretty good at figuring
issues out and this one has been a thorn in my side for a month now.
I had to break apart a RAID so as to swap out a drive going bad. Ever
since then, I encounter the following (not always, but often enough to 
suck):


L 08/15/2012 - 08:30:09: Initializing Steam libraries for secure
Internet server
L 08/15/2012 - 08:30:10:
*
L 08/15/2012 - 08:30:10: * Unable to load Steam support library.*
L 08/15/2012 - 08:30:10: * This server will operate in LAN mode only.*
L 08/15/2012 - 08:30:11:
*

Aside from installing the steam client on the server, which it had
never been or had to be installed on prior to run the servers
publicly. For some reason installing  the client remedies the issue.
But I notice sometimes it still fails occasionally. Un-installing and
reinstalling and/or leaving installed the client seems to fix. ONLY
that seems to fix it so far. My suspicion is somewhere there is a
registry link bad in the OS (Windows server 08, R2) pertaining to
hlds or such.

- verify_all does nothing to help the situation, my cl startup is
fine and it annoys me to have the steam client on the server to begin
with. Again, from the initial setup I did not have to have it
installed and it ran for years just fine without ever installing the
client on the machine. Does anyone know a perm fix for this? Even
deleting all steam references in registry has been to no avail,
unless I missed some (searched Steam). Reinstalling hlds did not help
to fix any possible broken registry links or such. I am tired of
having to fire up and watch for this message I never had issue with
before, only to see it on occasion and have to un-install and
reinstall steam client... On a server... That should not have to have
the client installed... Searching mailing list archives, the only
remedy I have found is the installing of the client. This is not a
fix, rather something that is circumventing a broken link somewhere
in my opinion.

It is not a firewall issue since that has not changed in years.
it is not a command line issue, they have not changed in years.
It is not a convar issue in any config, has not changed in years.
is not a SM, MM issue, updated and runs fine.
Reinstalling hlds did not help.
Virgin instances of the servers does not help.
Sometimes it happen after game server updates, sometimes after a
machine reboot.

Thanks,
Hutch

Client's a non-starter (although I verified local cache anyway) because

Re: [hlds] STEAM Validation Rejected on Source Multiplayer Dedicated Server tool

2011-10-29 Thread Chris Green

Hi,

I am think I can add something to this: there is quite the
threadhttp://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2173772on
the forum. Evidently source dedicated server (steam-delivered version
--
hldsupdatetool / orange-box is still fine) stopped working for multiple
people with the, Manniversary update on 10/13.  The comments are all the
same, working just fine before, can't connect to own server after. One
poster claims he got Tony Paloma interested and he said he'd look into it,
but Steam Support won't even acknowledge the problem. After two different
tickets beset by slow response and inapplicable FAQ references in what
responses did return, I finally got a, we don't support servers. My
experience is not unique.

The only silver lining to the cloud is that the orangebox server works just
fine -- this problem only affects the Steam server. Symptom is, Steam
validation rejected on the client side and, S3: Client connected with
ticket for the wrong game: UserID: 2 on the server console. I even went to
the trouble of copying steam_appid.txt everywhere I could think of, to no
avail.

Bottom line -- it's a real bug in the Steam-delivered version of srcds that
came down with the 10/13 update, is not being acknowledged by official
channels and is causing much frustration.

If anyone on this list has any insight or further information on this
problem, I think quite a few people would be interested.

Thanks,
Chris.

 Don't worry about not being a professional server host when you make your
 inquiry -- a lot of folks on the list aren't.

 As for your question, before I do any serious digging can you confirm (I
 know this sounds silly but..) that you created steam_appid as a txt file,
 and not steam_appid.txt.txt?  Make sure you have 'hide extensions for known
 file types' disabled so that you can verify there is no extension
 duplication.

 I know this is a list mostly for professional server hosters, but I hope
 you guys can help an amateur who hosts only occasionally as well.
 The problem is in the topic, except the traditional solution (adding
 steam_appid.txt with TF2's appid in the tool's folder) doesn't work, and I
 can't seem to find any other.
 Thanks in advance.

If you can't figure out how to set up proper filtering using a modern mail

There's more people complaining about email on this list than actual emails

This is incorrect. Before this update, even if you were running Windows
2008 with HPET enabled, you still needed to run srcdsfpsbooster or an
equivalent in order to maintain 250fps/500fps/1000fps etc.

On Mon, Oct 17, 2011 at 1:47 PM, Brandon R. Miller b...@branzone.comwrote:

Hmm, well that's no good. What about programs or bios settings that cause
the high resolution timer to be lower than expected?

Unreal 3 engine does this
COD engine does this
Multiple other engines do this as well

Also I believe that even Windows 2008 with HPET enabled in the bios will
have the same effect. Are srcds servers going to run badly if HPET is
enabled or other softwares are installed that cause the high resolution
timer to be 0.997ms?

code. Please get rid of those. We probably should have called that out in
the update notice.

This maybe useful to some people.

I was running higher FPS servers (500 fps) 0n my win 2008R2 server with
sourcefpsbooster running. After the update I noticed lots of lag but once I
disabled the fps booster the lag went away. As there is no need for it when
the tick/fps is locked at 66. So maybe that will help some of you. I
personally now can't tell a difference.

Subject: Re: [hlds] Max FPS

I too couldn't care less about the raging nerds who try to squeeze the
last bit of performance out of their game, even if it gives them an
unfair advantage over the majority of other players. The game should be
fun and fair for everyone. Believe it or not, I'm still playing with a
PC dated 2005 and my client FPS drop below 20 quite often in TF2. I
highly doubt that anyone would notice any difference in server FPS
playing from such a machine, and I'm quite happy that Valve levels the
playing field in this regard. If - for some people - the in-game
experience isn't smooth enough, I recommend getting a life.

Re: [hlds] Server crashes (E. Olsen)

 Yeah...this is going to be a tough one to track down. I've been on a server
 a couple of times that it's happened, and there was no discernible cause,
 other than it seemed to happen most often right after a map change while
 players were choosing their teams. But again, there was no crash dump, and
 no error messages in the logs, so it's all but impossible to put my finger
 on the cause. It's happened on both 24  32 player servers, stock and custom
 maps, with Sourcemod and without, etc. Server specs are:

 2 x e5620 (dual quad core)
 24 GB ram
 2 x 500GB drives (both defragged daily)
 5 TF2 instances per box (and nothing else at the moment - servers stay at
 35% CPU usage or less)

 It's more an annoyance than anything elsethe servers are all very
 stable (actually, they've been more stable in the last couple of months than
 ever before), and almost never crash, with exception of this hang once or
 twice per day. Some server will go for days without it occurring, then
 they'll have 1-2 hangs on the same day.

 Perhaps if there was some kind of verbose logging/debug file we could put
 on the server(s) for a couple of weeks that would detail exactly what was
 happening during each hang, we could be a bit more helpful to Valve in
 finding the problem?

 installs as well just to cut any junk files that may have been left behind
 that are no longer valid for the servers that could cause conflict. Nothing
 has been revealed. Most times, again the instance just freezes. Occasionally
 it will outright close and rarely do I get an error. Rarely I am blessed
 with a dump. Seems to happen every 6 to 12 hrs on servers that have decent

 Looking at the dumps doesn't speak to me much.  I have seen server.dll

 retested and all appears well on that end.

 Dunno, but then I am not proficient with the dump files. My wife gripes at

Re: [hlds] TF2 replay system, a few issues

Can confirm memory leak - been around prior to the replay update, but that

About leaks, if there are any, they're probably related to replay, which

Yes, the replay cleanup is useless.

Three of my TF2 servers are using the replay system, which is quite a
wonderful tool for clients but not so much for servers right now.
There's two issues, one quite clear, the other which I only suspect:

* The file cleanup is horrible. If you don't clean up the old replay
data yourself you could end up with millions of files totalling a
terabyte of data after a month or so. I have a cronjob doing cleanup
every morning around 3:00AM but before that it was a horror. This needs
to be fixed. I suspect a server loses track of replay data when it
crashes, so my guess is it needs to know what to clean up when the
server is restarting.

* Memory usage. For some reason, ever since the replay update, my 3
(24-slot) TF2 servers seems to leak memory, claiming up to 800MB of RAM
before I forcefully restart them because they affect server performance.
I can't say for sure the replay system is the cause of this, so I'd like
others to share their experiences to either confirm or challenge my claim.

Hope I'll get some informative feedback.

[hlds] Server Specs for 32 Player Server

2011-03-28 Thread Chris

Question for you all, i'm currently renting a xen VPS and hosting a 32 man
server on it, it handles 28 players no problem but when we get 32/32 the FPS
drops below the tickrate and ingame lag becomes apparent.

I'm considering two options:

1. Build a box and host it.
2. Find another provider.

I don't mind switching providers assuming I get the control I want, I really
want the OS to be Linux with SSH access. Anyone have any suggestions?  I'm
currently paying $60/month.

If i were to build a server what processor spec's would you recommend to run
a 32 man server on?  The server is nearly 32/32 all day so i want something
powerful enough to handle that, plus be able to support any 'bad patches'
that can put a strain on the cpu in the future.

What CPU's is everyone running for their 32 man server(s)? Do you have any
historical data to show CPU usage so I can get a feel for the usage and how
much CPU is still left when full.  I'd really like to have the CPU sit at
75%CPU when full and playing a heavy map like hoodoo.

 it does have it's own downfalls such as preventing clients from
 querying the server using the Server Browser if enough traffic is

Just tried it, makes the server bounce online for 1-2seconds with a ping of
300 then goes to 1300 then goes down for about 10seconds, does a loop.

I tried DFENS which is a little more successful at bringing it up, but still

Thankyou for that Kyle,
It helps a bit by making the server respond but with ~1300ms response time.

You can see when i loaded the extension in my hlsw.

Re: [hlds] TF2 Server being DDoS/Exploited

2011-01-05 Thread Chris Oryschak

Actually I was calling it a night and was going to leave the server offline, 
decided to bring it up just to fool around about 2hrs later and it's working 
flawless.
I think it just had to drop all the stale/flooded packets it was receiving. If 
I disable the plugin for a few minutes and bring it back online the latency 
will be in the 1000ms range again and won't recover
Just had to take the server down for 30mins-1hr again and it resumed itself 
with normal pings.

I have it up now, going see how it goes tomorrow morning but it looks to be 
very good.

Thank you very much DontWannaName and Kyle for your help!
It's much appreciated!

Chris

Re: [hlds] TF2 Engineer building exploit

2010-10-17 Thread Chris Beesley

Quoted from Facepunch, if and when they snip the exploit in an attempt to
stop Valve noticing (ha).

1. Taunt and pickup an engineer building
2. Make sure to have Respawn after loadout changes enabled (multiplayer 
advanced)
3. Switch your loadout inside your respawn (you should respawn after doing
so)
4. Depending on what building you glitched, type:
Build 0 0  dispensers / Build 1 0  entrance / Build 1 1  exit / Build 2 0
 sentry
5. If done correctly you should be able to build endlessly

On 17 October 2010 19:25, Thomas m...@fearswe.net wrote:

  I can confirm too that it's working. I had everyone on my server try

 or how long it was up.

 Console froze showing:

 2003

 Today I've gotten three crashes of my CS:S and TF2 servers already, both
 without quitting. The servers just hang, very annoying because they will
 not
 quit and restart automatically via batch file, they simply stay offline
 until I notice the issue...

 CS:S (non-beta):
 Found the console in a hung state, saying something about forcible thread
 termination/assertion failed, happened twice today without any apparent
 reason (no player disconnecting or anything)
 Dump: http://forlix.org/_res/host/css_hang.dmp

 TF2:
 Found the console simply in a hung state for no apparent reason - it just
 hung in the middle of normal gameplay.
 I attached a debugger and saw that it was running through a pretty small
 piece of code that probably had to do with waiting for another thread, over
 and over again. I did a manual crash dump using DrWatson, but its 64bit so
 I
 cant open it on my home PC.
 Dump: http://forlix.org/_res/host/tf2_deadlock.dmp

ABSOLUTELY! Thinking otherwise leads you to the way of Adobe with CS.

You're going to get more people to buy the game at $35 than you are at 
$50. You'll easily get enough extra sales to make more money selling 
more copies than you would by selling it to less people at $50/ea.

Simple economics, yet most people and business owners don't understand. 
It's not like Valve has to spend extra money for each extra copy of the

Since you've put no lower bounds on your theory, are you asserting that
valve would make more money by selling their games for $0.05 rather than
$30? You have to realize that there are analysts hired to determine the most
appropriate price point based on current and past trends. I would certainly
trust their judgment over yours. While I would love valve games for as
little money as possible, it's not always in their best interest to reduce
the price.

Why are we even talking about this on the HLDS mailing list?

Thanks,
Chris

Re: [hlds] TF2 Long Map Change

Yeah I google searched and came across that what you describe.  
I don't load any banned ip's from a cfg so this won't be the issue, I
use sourcemod to manage my bans which, at the moment is empty.

I put a support call in and got a response back saying that it's a bug
on the server unfortunately huff.

We've experienced this with other source based games when we listed
'exec
banned.cfg' in our server config file, when the banned.cfg contained
hundreds of ban entries.

Remove this command from your server.cfg if its present, just execute it
once on the command line.

Andrew

Anyone ever have problems with their TF2 server + on map change it takes
a long time.
I'm running the server off a rented box so my access is limited but when
I look at the server logs here is what I find:



L 02/14/2010 - 13:24:05: tv_relaypassword = 
L 02/14/2010 - 13:24:05: tv_password = 
L 02/14/2010 - 13:24:05: deathmatch = 1
L 02/14/2010 - 13:24:05: coop = 0
L 02/14/2010 - 13:24:05: sv_cheats = 0
L 02/14/2010 - 13:24:05: sv_pausable = 0
L 02/14/2010 - 13:24:05: sv_contact = 
L 02/14/2010 - 13:24:05: sv_voiceenable = 1
L 02/14/2010 - 13:24:05: tv_enable = 0
L 02/14/2010 - 13:24:05: server cvars end

L 02/14/2010 - 13:25:38: Started map cp_dustbowl (CRC 1303353615)
L 02/14/2010 - 13:25:45: server_cvar: tf_gamemode_payload 0
L 02/14/2010 - 13:25:45: server_cvar: sv_tags
Vanilla,hlstatsx,increased_maxplayers
L 02/14/2010 - 13:25:45: server_cvar: sv_tags
Vanilla,hlstatsx,increased_maxplayers
L 02/14/2010 - 13:25:45: server_cvar: tf_gamemode_cp 1


Note the times from when server cvars end and started map begins.
It was almost 1:33 delay for this map change.  Anyone have any ideas on
what could be causing this?

Thanks,
Chris
