Hello, I was doing something foolish and ran into serious trouble as a result.
Modifying the foolish behavior is Too Hard. Can someone else please think for
me and invent a way for me to keep doing foolish things without consequences?
Also can it be inexpensive and not time consuming, I've got
Ryan, why waste your time with a response like that?
It's no secret using WordPress may not be a secure platform, but
seriously, why waste your time with a reply so negative in a environment
that is here to support and help others?
Explain this to me.

Was Wordpress fully up to date? Did you have a lot of 3rd party mods
installed? How many people did you give Administrator to? Did you setup
htaccess rules for the sensitive directories?

This is a mailing list focused around the operation of steam servers. If
people are compromising your machine through other vectors outside of the steam
server binaries, there is little advice we could give that you wouldn't be
better suited pursuing on, say, a web server administration forum.
As for using wordpress, TF2.com uses it. It's fine as long as it's
updated properly (and possibly ran in it's own user in a restricted
environment). Now can we concentrate to server administration instead of
picking up on eachothers?

If you're worried about WordPress' insecurities affecting HLDS, you should
probably not run them on the same server. If you can't afford new hardware,
try putting WordPress into a VM.

There are too many entities that require too many data that must be sent to
a new client = buffer overflow. I assume that was a custom map with too
many func_breakable entities. I'm not a map maker so I may be wrong, but
this is the first thing I would verify.

Some things to try.
Ensure that your destination Folder has Everyone Read/write permissions.
Add a subfolder to your Commandline like, C:\L4D2\Server1\
Ensure that your dir has an ending slash.
And next time, google.

Correct. Shipping this particular feature to beta would not get us the type of
testing we need. So we ship it as a beta feature. If it's broken, server
operators and users can opt out, and we can quickly turn down the percentage of

Hello,
I just tried forcing the quickplay beta on my computer to test the system.
It sent me to a UK based TF2 server (I'm in CA; I'm guessing the quickplay
beta server pool is so small that's why it sent me there), and I had to
download a whole bunch of sound files (at least 30), which I'm
Sounds, models, decals whatever are fine. Also fakeplayers are fine and
plugins and addons that do not rapidly change the game or affect in it
at all. There is a thin line that is allowed and what is not.

I guess i should elaborate before someone says something. With
fakeplayers, i mean the plugin that lies to players that there are
players on the server. I do not mean mask bots as faked players etc,
faking tags and such. No, i don't use that plugin but some people do and
it is allowed since
Actually, if a server bots appear like real players in the server browser or in
game, we just ban them. We don't take any action particular to quickplay for
those types of hacks, it is a global ban. We have banned people for this in
the past and can certainly do it in the future.

You can press f7 while on that server to make a abuse report or propably
directly contact someone at Valve, like Fletcher.
Yes, i was aware that if bots appear like real players, it isn't
tolerated but i ment the plugin that just makes server look like 22/24
players. Then once you connect and

I think there is a distinct lack of common sense floating around at the

people join (effectively) empty servers on the assumption they are populated
