Re: [hlds] Issue with July 09 Killing Floor Update
Hey Dayle, I'm just wondering what your issue is with not forcing server updates? I, and I'm sure many other server administrators, will sacrifise a few minutes just so then they can have a more stable, up-to-date server. Optional updates are bad for the clients connecting to the server, for example, if an update fixes a few exploits, some clients can come on and damage the experiance for the other players on the server, just because the server administrator is too lazy to update. My two cents ;) On 10/07/2009, Dayle Flowers da...@tripwireinteractive.com wrote: We did beta testing, but there was an unforeseen compatibility issue with non-updated servers because this was an optional update.

Re: [hlds] Issue with July 09 Killing Floor Update
Saul, Any time that we have major changes we'll always force an update. But sometimes we'll have minor changes that we don't think merit a forced update. For instance, if we update the map white list to add more custom maps which allow perk earning. Some admins that run a lot of custom maps will want to grab an update like that two times a week. But other admins won't. So in cases like that we feel it's best to give the server admins the choice. Additionally, updating all servers can be disruptive for the players since the game servers will go down/be incompatible with the client until they are updated again.

Re: [hlds] Issue with July 09 Killing Floor Update
Hey Guys, We have fixed up our update from yesterday and it is now available via the hldsupdatetool. Here is the original text from John's post yesterday, as it still applies: A non required update for Killing Floor has been released for both Windows and Linux dedicated servers. This update fixes an issue with perks sometimes not being accumulated on whitelisted maps, and sometimes accumulating on non-whitelisted maps. Additionally, the update adds many more custom maps to the whitelist of maps which will allow perk earning. This update is automatically applied for clients.

Re: [hlds] Issue with July 09 Killing Floor Update
We did beta testing, but there was an unforeseen compatibility issue with non-updated servers because this was an optional update. Rather than forcing everyone to update, we have decided it's best to revert to the previous revision until we can properly fix the compatibility tomorrow.
