[hlds_linux] Mandatory Team Fortress 2 update coming

[John Schoenick]

We're working on a mandatory update for Team Fortress 2.  We should have
the update ready soon.

As this update will be mandatory, there will no longer be a compatible
pre-toolchain-update build.  Admins that have not yet moved to the most
recent optional update should ensure it works with their setups to avoid
surprises.

[hlds_linux] Optional Team Fortress 2 update released (toolchain update)

[John Schoenick]

We've released an optional update for Team Fortress 2. The notes for the
update are below. The new version is 3842775.

This is the toolchain update discussed previously on this list.  The
update is optional to give server operators a final grace period to
ensure their setups are valid, but be warned that there will be no
fallback available whenever the next mandatory TF update ships.

See the "Updated system requirements for TF2 dedicated servers" thread
for more information on the internal changes in this update.

[hlds_linux] Prerelease Update available for Counter-Strike: Source, Day of Defeat: Source, Half-Life Deathmatch: Source, Half-Life 2: Deathmatch, and the Source SDK 2013 Base

[John Schoenick]

A prerelease update is available for Counter-Strike: Source, Day of
Defeat: Source, Half-Life Deathmatch: Source, Half-Life 2: Deathmatch,
and the Source SDK 2013 Base. The update notes are below.

Prerelease branches can be accessed in Steam via the Properties -> Betas
tab. Dedicated servers can pass -beta prerelease to the app_update
command in SteamCMD.

If all goes well, this branch will be promoted to the current release in
the coming days, so please let us know if you encounter any issues.

Note that this is *not* the previously mentioned toolchain update for
these games, which is still slated for the near future.


 - John

-

- Improved Steam Voice support
  - Removed sv_use_steam_voice convar. Steam voice is now selected via
"sv_voicecodec steam"
  - Fixed demos not properly recording Steam Voice status, resulting in
potential corrupt voice in demos with differing default settings
  - Will now use the native Steam Voice sampling rate, instead of
clamping to 11kHz
  - Improved compatibility with Steam client beta
- Added CELT audio codec currently in use in TF2 and CS:GO
  - Server operators may enable use of this codec via "sv_voicecodec
vaudio_celt"
  - Steam voice remains the default voice codec in all SDK2013 games
- Updated spec_player command to match recent improvements in TF2
  - Now accepts partial player names, Steam IDs, etc.
- Fixed security issue reported by Amat Cama via GeekPwn
- Updated engine with recent stability and bug fixes from TF2
- Updated handling of game language setting to match Team Fortress 2
behavior:
  - Steam per-game language setting is now properly honored and syncs
with the in-game setting
  - In-game UI language now honors above language setting, rather than
improperly using the Steam client's UI language setting
- Users wishing to have separate UI and audio languages may pass
-audiolanguage on the command line
- Updated the localization files
- [DoD:S] Updated custom loading error dialog to include numerous tweaks
and fixes that have previously been applied to the base version

[hlds_linux] Optional Team Fortress 2 update later today (toolchain update)

[John Schoenick]

We're working on an optional update for Team Fortress 2. The notes for
the update are below. We are tentatively aiming for 4PM PDT (23:00 UTC).

This update will be making the toolchain beta branch live.  This update
is known to break numerous server mods, many of which have updates
available.  In order to reduce the pain with this transition, the update
is optional for servers.  However, the next mandatory TF update will
necessarily end support for the pre-toolchain-update builds, so server
administrators should seek to update as soon as possible.

See the "Updated system requirements for TF2 dedicated servers" thread
for more information on the toolchain update.

Re: [hlds_linux] Heads up - Updated system requirements for TF2 dedicated servers, likely mod breakage - Beta available

[John Schoenick]

Reminder, we plan on releasing a normal update with this change this
week.  Server operators are encouraged to double-check that their setup
works against the toolchainbeta branch to avoid ugly surprises!

Re: [hlds_linux] [hlds] Heads up - Updated system requirements for TF2 dedicated servers, likely mod breakage - Beta available

[John Schoenick]

This means that replay_srv.so could not load due to missing
dependencies, and is likely due to missing required libraries.

The following command, from the tf install directory (where srcds_linux
is), should identify why replay_srv.so is not able to be loaded

env LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:bin" ldd -d bin/replay_srv.so

(if you are using any special LD_LIBRARY_PATH/linker tricks, ensure you
invoke ldd the same way)

Re: [hlds_linux] Heads up - Updated system requirements for TF2 dedicated servers, likely mod breakage - Beta available

[John Schoenick]

We've pushed a small update to the beta that removes the libstdc++ and
libgcc_s libraries that were previously shipping with the linux
dedicated server build.  These were a workaround for compatibility prior
to the Steam Runtime requirement, and were now causing conflicts in some
environments.

[hlds_linux] Heads up - Updated system requirements for TF2 dedicated servers, likely mod breakage - Beta available

[John Schoenick]

Hey everyone,

Following up on the warning email we sent a long while back, we're
making good on our promise and changing our build toolchains for the
TF2+SDK2013 games' dedicated server.  TF2 is being updated first, with
the other SDK2013 games to follow.

There are two things that may affect server administrators that you
should be aware of:


*The Linux dedicated server now targets the Steam Runtime*

The Steam Runtime is a common runtime target based on Ubuntu.  For
srcds, this largely means linking against a more recent glibc than may
be available in some server distributions.  Administrators should check
that the provided beta still runs in their environment of choice.  Those
who are on older or incompatible distributions have several options:

- Switch to a distribution more compatible with the Steam Runtime, such
as Ubuntu LTS

- Make use of a chroot/container/VM environment to run srcds.  The tools
linked below include a script for creating a chroot that can be used for
bootstrapping Steam Runtime environments.

- Use the Steam Runtime tools linked below combined with some dynamic
linker magic to use the runtime libraries on an incompatible
distribution, e.g.:

steamrt=/path/to/runtime
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="bin:$steamrt/usr/lib32"
LD="$steamrt/usr/lib32/ld-linux.so.2"
"$LD" ./srcds_linux "$@"

More information about the Steam Runtime and utilities for obtaining it
can be found here: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-runtime

*
*

*The compiler toolchain used for all editions of srcds has changed*

Along with the client builds, all server builds have been updated to a
newer compiler.  Windows builds now use the MSVC2015 tools, while Linux
builds now use a newer edition of GCC with differing command-line
parameters that affect codegen.

This is expected to break mods that expect certain ABI behaviors or look
for certain signatures in order to hook functions (such as SourceMod). 
We have separately spoken with the SourceMod team and they are working
on supporting the new setup.  Maintainers of other mods should test them
against the beta release below.

Our previous warning also indicated that this would change the _srv
naming of the linux binaries.  We have decided *not* to adjust this, and
the separate _srv build and naming remains unchanged.


*Beta*

We've made a beta branch available for TF2 with these new changes.  The
remaining SDK2013 games will be updated in the near future, and we will
provide a beta for them at that time.

The beta is compatible with the current TF2 public release - servers may
safely convert to it and continue serving both beta and non-beta clients.

The beta branch is titled "toolchainbeta" with no required password.  It
can be accessed with SteamCMD via:

app_update 232250 -beta toolchainbeta

These changes may be promoted to an official release of TF2 as soon as
next week, so we encourage all server administrators to test their setup
against the beta before then.


Let me know if you have any questions or concerns

Re: [hlds_linux] Mandatory TF2 update released

[John Schoenick]

The game now captures audio directly, similar to CS:GO, instead of via the 
steam voice system.  This means that you'll need to ensure your mic is adjusted 
properly, and any steam-specific volume adjustment will not take effect.  We'll 
keep an eye on it however, as it's entirely possible there are other bugs 
lurking.

@psychonic

Yes it isn't forced for community servers you are correct. The bigger issue
I think would be Valve's servers now default these settings and those
servers have the majority of players. I expect many people will be effect
and head over to Reddit so keep a eye there to see if it's as wide spread
as I think it is. I just ran a quick test with someone who was effect on a
Casual Valve server and that person was still effected there, and also
another player on the server who I asked to talk also seemed effected.

[John Schoenick]

An optional update is available for TF2 servers. The new version number
is 3593021.  This update is only needed if you are running bootcamp. 
There are no player-visible changes.

system maintenance that will occur later today.  It fixes an issue
related to matchmaking communication with the TF system -- *bootcamp
servers that have *not* updated by time the maintenance occurs may have
their matches in progress interrupted at that time*.

We expect said maintenance to occur in about an hour.

2016-03-15 21:30 GMT+01:00 John Schoenick <jo...@valvesoftware.com
<mailto:jo...@valvesoftware.com>>:

Hi everyone,

The current Linux TF2/SDK2013 dedicated server is a bit odd,
shipping a dedicated-only build of the source engine that targets a
very old toolchain for maximal compatibility.  This setup predates
the Steam Runtime and the widespread availability of container
setups like Docker that make it trivial to run apps in alternate
environments.

We're planning on obsoleting this setup, and shipping a unified
build[1] between clients and servers that targets the current Steam
Runtime[2]

What this means for you:
*1) If your distro is not binary compatible[3] with the Steam
Runtime (based on Ubuntu 12 LTS) you may need to update your setup
to continue running TF2 servers.

*There are several options for this. *
*- Switch to a Ubuntu 12 LTS based distro
- Create a Steam Runtime chroot or container (e.g. Docker) to run
your servers.
- Package a copy of the Steam Runtime for your servers and invoke
the server with a modified environment ( env
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$RUNTIME"/usr/lib/ "$RUNTIME"/usr/lib/ld-linux.so.2
./srcds_linux ... )
- Etc

See the Steam Runtime page[2] for more information on setup and usage.
*
**2) If you have mods or scripts that are hard-coded to expect
"_srv" binaries, they will need to be fixed*

We plan on working with the SourceMod team to ensure their tools
continue to function, but server operators will likely need to
update when this occurs. Other tools or scripts that are hard coded
to "_srv" may need fixing.

_When__?_
The plan is to begin shipping builds based requiring the Steam
Runtime in the next few months, so we encourage server operators to
begin looking into their setups ASAP.

Non-TF2 SDK2013 games will likely be switched to this setup some
time after TF2, as it becomes necessary to maintain compatibility
with the Steam SDK.

Let me know if you have any questions or concerns
- John

[1] Meaning, one client.so and server.so and associated engine,
rather than a separate "_srv.so" build of the entire system for
dedicated servers.

gcc-libs/libc/libstdc++, but also some supporting libraries like

[hlds_linux] TF2 - Upcoming game server account requirements

[John Schoenick]

Hey everyone,

I wanted to give a heads-up about some upcoming changes to the way
server accounts work in TF.

In an future update, we are going to be introducing features that will
only be available to game servers that have a registered game server
SteamID, via the Game Server Login Token (GSLT) system.  This system has
existed for some time, but is currently only used in TF for persistent
favouriting in the server browser.  It has also gained some more
restrictions recently that you should be aware of.

- Game server accounts are tied to an owning Steam user account
- This Steam account must not be currently community banned or locked.
- This Steam account must not be limited
.
- This Steam account must have a qualifying registered phone
.
- Game servers that violate the community guidelines for the game they
are hosting may have their access suspended or revoked.
- Game server account suspensions or bans also apply to *all* other game
servers tied to said Steam user

More info and management tools are here:
https://steamcommunity.com/dev/managegameservers

For TF specifically, being free-to-play, access to some upcoming
features may eventually depend on the qualifications the owning Steam
user account.  So, while creating dedicated individual user accounts to
own individual game servers is possible, it may lead to an increased
burden in the future.  We recommend game server accounts be registered
to the Steam account of the acting server owner -- GSPs should require
clients to provide their own tokens.

This change will allow us to have a greater level of confidence in game
servers, by making it easier to revoke access for bad actors and better
tying game servers to their owners.  The increased persistence gives us
many more opportunities to assign trust to community servers, and to
provide them access to features that would otherwise be too open for
abuse.  It also provides a much better mechanism for dealing with abuse
than the current IP-ban system that is both less effective and more
painful for server providers that share IPs between clients.

We will have more information once we are ready to begin rolling out
these features, but I wanted to send this heads up such that current
admins and server providers can look into integrating this support into
their setups.

Let me know if you have any questions or concerns and I will try to
address them,
- Neph

Re: [hlds_linux] [hlds] Heads Up: Minimum Requirements Changing for Linux TF2 and SDK2013 Dedicated Server

[John Schoenick]

Yes, the server will be using the same libtier0/engine/etc as the client
builds, like the current windows builds, rather than being separate. We
can evaluate shipping a stub/symlink depending on how many tools work
with that v. those that may need a recompile either way.

[hlds_linux] Heads Up: Minimum Requirements Changing for Linux TF2 and SDK2013 Dedicated Server

[John Schoenick]

Hi everyone,

The current Linux TF2/SDK2013 dedicated server is a bit odd, shipping a
dedicated-only build of the source engine that targets a very old
toolchain for maximal compatibility.  This setup predates the Steam
Runtime and the widespread availability of container setups like Docker
that make it trivial to run apps in alternate environments.

We're planning on obsoleting this setup, and shipping a unified build[1]
between clients and servers that targets the current Steam Runtime[2]

What this means for you:
*1) If your distro is not binary compatible[3] with the Steam Runtime
(based on Ubuntu 12 LTS) you may need to update your setup to continue
running TF2 servers.

*There are several options for this. *
*- Switch to a Ubuntu 12 LTS based distro
- Create a Steam Runtime chroot or container (e.g. Docker) to run your
servers.
- Package a copy of the Steam Runtime for your servers and invoke the
server with a modified environment ( env
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$RUNTIME"/usr/lib/ "$RUNTIME"/usr/lib/ld-linux.so.2
./srcds_linux ... )
- Etc

See the Steam Runtime page[2] for more information on setup and usage.
*
**2) If you have mods or scripts that are hard-coded to expect "_srv"
binaries, they will need to be fixed*

We plan on working with the SourceMod team to ensure their tools
continue to function, but server operators will likely need to update
when this occurs. Other tools or scripts that are hard coded to "_srv"
may need fixing.

_When__?_
The plan is to begin shipping builds based requiring the Steam Runtime
in the next few months, so we encourage server operators to begin
looking into their setups ASAP.

Non-TF2 SDK2013 games will likely be switched to this setup some time
after TF2, as it becomes necessary to maintain compatibility with the
Steam SDK.

Let me know if you have any questions or concerns

It appears the servers still login to your old tokens, but they aren't listing

Sounds like Valve screwed up the backend for this.

So there's a mess in the CSGO_Servers list right now as Valve introduced an

Defeat: Source, and Half-Life 2: Deathmatch



A mandatory update for Counter-Strike: Source, Day of Defeat: Source, 
and Half-Life 2: Deathmatch will be made available later today. We're 
aiming for mid-afternoon pacific time unless issues arise.


This update is based on the current prerelease branch build. We 
encourage server operators to test their setup against that branch, and 
let us know of any blocking issues.

Is anyone else getting "your server needs to be restarted to receive the latest 
update" with the beta_test branch? I've run multiple validations and completely 
deleted the install directory but am still getting this. As a result any mods 
hosted aren't showing in the master server list either.

Subject: [hlds] Source SDK Base 2013 Multiplayer beta release

We've released a beta update for the Source SDK Base 2013 Multiplayer depot. 
The updated depots include several security fixes. The name for the beta branch 
is "beta_test". If you're running a game that depends on the Source SDK Base 
2013 Multiplayer tool, please give the beta a try and report any problems. You 
can email me directly with any problems you find.

* Clients can opt-in to the beta using the Betas tab of the Properties 
dialog for the Source SDK Base 2013 Multiplayer tool (select "beta_test" in the 
dropdown menu)

* Dedicated servers can find information about how to use a beta here:
https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD

We're also working on updates for Counter-Strike: Source, Day of Defeat: 
Source, and Half-Life 2: Deathmatch. We'll have more information about those 
soon.

Thanks.

[hlds_linux] Community Servers and the Gun Mettle Update

[John Schoenick]

Hey guys, with today's update we're introducing a few new features that 
will impact servers, and I just wanted to give you guys a heads up.


There is a new quickplay category, featured, that represents the 
featured maps for a given campaign. In order to have your server in this 
category, you need to be running the mapcycle 
mapcycle_featured_maps.txt, and have the special string 'featured' in 
your quickplay tags.


Today's update also introduces contracts, which currently require 
players be on official servers to complete. Unfortunately, our current 
setup makes it very difficult to restrict features like this other than 
in an all-or-nothing manner, and we determined this was necessary to 
protect the system from immediate abuse.


We agree this is not ideal. We are continuing the look at the situation 
with community servers and how we can better support passionate 
communities, but currently have nothing to announce.


- JohnS
