[hlds_linux] TF2 update released during Steam maintenance?
Probably not such a great idea to do a TF2 release during the middle of the Steam server maintenance Window. The end result is TF2 server operators not being able to update their servers so that clients have a place to play.

Re: [hlds_linux] TF2 update released during Steam maintenance?
While I agree the timing could be better, the Steam update didn't start until roughly 15 minutes ago and the TF2 update was an hour ago.

That was REALLY bad timing.

Re: [hlds_linux] TF2 update released during Steam maintenance?
I believe the advertised regular maintenance window for Steam is 4:00 PM (Pacific) every Tuesday. Of course, they don't always get started right at 4:00 PM. The TF2 release was announced at 4:26 PM (Pacific). Yes, to be fair, today they apparently did not get started on the Steam maintenance until 4:54 PM (Pacific). Basically, my point being ... why would you release something that EVERYBODY has to download and apply, during (even or approaching) the regularly-scheduled maintenance window for the system that provides the download/update function? It's like saying, hey everyone! download and apply this mandatory fix immediately! ... then laughing and saying you didn't think you could actually DO that now? did you? ha-ha-ha, DENIED! Anyway, it's just a game I guess. So, not really upset. Just thought it was ... eh ... un-coordinated.

They've done 3 Tuesdays in a row, but that doesn't mean it's a regular pattern, especially since it was Wednesdays during the month before that.

If the servers can't update then players can't update? So it cancels out?

Re: [hlds_linux] TF2 update released during Steam maintenance?
Well, getting a little closer according to Steam Support Twitter account, they finished the Steam maintenance at 5:00 PM (Pacific). My Asia/Pacific region servers won't update yet, but North America seems like it's trying to at least. Asia/Pacific server is throwing a time-out. I'll assume this is all load-related (now that Steam is back up again, everybody trying to update) and just keep trying. ... something-other-than-root@host2:~/steamcmd$ ./steamcmd.sh ./steamcmd.sh: line 11: ulimit: open files: cannot modify limit: Operation not permitted Redirecting stderr to '/home/something-other-than-root/Steam/logs/stderr.txt' [ 0%] Checking for available updates...
