In one of the recent CSS updates the stopping power of boxes has been
significantly changed, this breaks a large number of popular custom
maps as it makes it possible to kill people behind big / multiple
boxes as well as being able to shoot through walls.
Examples of effected maps are:

since i tried valve's method of adding thread 3 and 1 that didn't seem to
work, i think it actually made it worst lol.
mike, since i run 8 core servers as well, I figure I would try your method
out, since you said you had some success with it. how do you set permanent
CPU affinity by
You can use /affinity hexvalue (at least on windows os)
example: only on CPU0 would be 0001 = 1 (/affinity 1)
only on CPU3 would be 0100 = 4 (/affinity 4)
0 and 3 would be 5 ... etc pp
I use those settings using batch files and they work just fine.

Apparantly the splash damage from the sentry rockets using the Wrangler is

Releasing a required update without the capacity to handle everyone updating at
once is a problem -- expecting people to leave their servers broken to reduce
Valve's load isn't an acceptable solution.
Valve should either invest in the infrastructure to handle it or work with a
service such as

I agree to Steve,

providers got serious trouble with those random update intervals.

There's really no pattern to it. And despite what some naysayers and

norm.

this doesn't mean it was mandatory for TF2. The next required TF2 update will
