[hlds] Unlockables breaking on TF2 server?

Lately I had problems with people not being able to use unlockables on the servers I control. VAC works fine, and TF2 strangely doesn't tell the player about the server not being connected to Steam (like what usually happens during Steam downtimes) in the unlockables screen, so it looks like it's

The overhead dosen't seem too bad, as far I can tell the performance is near native. It's quirky in some ways though, but performance wise it's alright. We run several KF2 and TF2 servers on the same server and they don't seem to negatively affect each other too. On Thu, Dec 10, 2015 at 11:29 PM,

Re: [hlds] Mandatory Team Fortress 2 update released

While I think this is going very offtopic, I think Source 2 would be proof enough that valve hadn't given up on the game making business. But I also suspect they're not going to announce a new game until there is 9-6 months before release or even closer. On Sat, Jan 9, 2016 at 11:33 PM,

What was this security issue exactly? Any concerns for us server owners for previously leaked rcon passwords? Or files being uploaded that aren't sprays? Den 2 feb 2016 23:26 skrev "Eric Smith" : > We've released a mandatory update for TF2. The update notes are below. The

Weird, this actually gets me confused cause I assumed it was on purpose to control the economy. Oh well, maybe it didn't make enough of a difference anyway haha. On Wed, Jan 27, 2016 at 12:12 AM, Rowedahelicon < theoneando...@rowedahelicon.com> wrote: > http://www.tf2tools.net/articles/hatgate

Re: [hlds] TF2 - Upcoming game server account requirements

I'm surprised Steam Mobile Authenticator isn't a requirement, but i suppose confirmed phone numbers are good enough from "is this guy trustworthy?" perspective. Sounds like our servers are all set up and ready for this then. :) On Fri, May 13, 2016 at 9:51 PM, John Schoenick

Re: [hlds] TF2 - Upcoming game server account requirements

Custom gamemodes or anything that changes the gameplay experience, don't belong in quickplay to be honest anyway. IMO, people should be able to sign up their server for this system with their custom gamemodes, as long they turn off quickplay too, favorites being tied to a server steamid as opposed

Re: [hlds] Roughly 2 weeks out from the MyM update...

I noticed kinda both, players tend to play longer so the server tend to fill up earlier and stay filled with players for longer. But there is less of the players that are on there for short bursts, It's been a net positive change for me personally though. On Fri, Jul 22, 2016 at 10:31 PM, Lucas

Re: [hlds] HLDS Hardware

Honestly even for CS:GO about any modern processor should suffice for hosting. I guess the main thing to keep in mind is to not host more servers on the same box than you got cores. On Wed, Feb 22, 2017 at 11:44 AM, Rahul Patel wrote: > I want to host multiple gameservers

Re: [hlds] Game Server Tokens

One big advantage is that if you have to switch IP address for whatever reason, users don't need to upgrade their bookmarks. Though it takes up to 24 hours for theirs to be updated due to a quirk in how Steam server browser works. So I wholly can recommend using those server tokens sooner than

Heard about this as well. Seems fine on our end but the servers been running since the last update too. Our server is validating steamids fine and is getting a proper server steamid, so it's not everyone affected by it. On Sat, Oct 21, 2017 at 4:22 PM, wrote: > Don't know
