Well, we know from experience just how good Valve is at keeping a lid on things (case in point HL3) so I doubt they're going to acknowledge this in any way unless they see fit to, not because we're disgruntled and asking for information. And for what it's worth, everyone (who's opinion on this list is worth a damn) has thrown out the point that we're the ones providing the servers for Valve, we're the ones who give their players a place to play etc etc - but what I think is going unnoticed here is the fact that Valve is obviously taking steps (and increasingly larger ones) to nullify that argument in it's entirety. Perhaps it's time to examine the possibility that Valve is very purposefully forcing community run servers into the minority because they're straight tired of having to play code-counter-code withe people like the fuckjobs who programmed plugins to force ads down players throats and other like-minded stains. We've got the binaries on both ends, and Valve knows this. It's virtually impossible to stop people from being fuckjobs with access to both binaries, so let [Valve] just diminish the footprint the fuckjobs get access by about 90% by forcing people into the servers we can afford to run now that we've monetized TF2. If I was Valve and I made this decision, I wouldn't give a piss whether people who run servers are upset by this or threaten to pull their servers offline because of this decision, because that's the direction I wanted to force you in anyway.

Just make sure you also contact Valve directly. http://valvesoftware.com/email.php Some people say Fletcher is in charge of TF2 now so email him too. We're really past the point in asking Valve for an answer. The answer is probably the same as before: a handful of servers ruined the experience for a few new players and some lazy players who couldn't be bothered to type valve in the tags. So they threw in some useless features like quickpick and released server migrations at the same time to shut you up before you realize your community was also going to get screwed so there would be no huge public outrage. What needs to be done now is to get someone at Valve to realize that this change did more harm than good and there is evidence to prove it. Any other argument we bring up they will consider it biased because we host servers and somehow that means we don't care about players. Ever since the change, global TF2 player counts have steadily been dropping. Peaks have dipped from 82k to 71k, a 15% loss.

No word from valve about it. It happens with both the in-game browser and the Steam one. Almost all server hosts I've talked to report that they have the same problem.

It doesn't promote or offer options to join servers which are run in an unofficial way (e.g. custom gamemodes or custom maps). In the days of Team Fortress Classic players had to use the server browser, and those days were better in my view. Custom run servers saw more players back then than they typically do in TF2 these days. It's impossible to use the MOTD for even simple images and links, so is practically impossible for a community to make links to things such as donation pages to help them cover costs of their servers.

Re: [hlds] tf_mm_strict is very broken
I can confirm this on my servers too. 2012/8/18 Michael Tharp g...@partiallystapled.com This is for a pvp server, as of version 1.1.2.5: If tf_mm_servermode = 0, everything is fine If tf_mm_servermode = 1 AND tf_mm_strict = 0 or 2, connections from favorites are rejected with ad-hoc connections are not allowed If tf_mm_servermode = 1 AND tf_mm_strict = 1, connections from favorites work. So, to workaround you can either turn off mm, or (ironically) set strict to 1. -- m. tharp __**_ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.**com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/**hldshttps://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds

I've been on a server a couple of times that it's happened, and there was no discernible cause, other than it seemed to happen most often right after a map change while players were choosing their teams. But again, there was no crash dump, and no error messages in the logs, so it's all but impossible to put my finger on the cause. It's happened on both 24 32 player servers, stock and custom maps, with Sourcemod and without, etc. Server specs are: 2 x e5620 (dual quad core) 24 GB ram 2 x 500GB drives (both defragged daily) 5 TF2 instances per box (and nothing else at the moment - servers stay at 35% CPU usage or less) It's more an annoyance than anything elsethe servers are all very stable (actually, they've been more stable in the last couple of months than ever before), and almost never crash, with exception of this hang once or twice per day. Some server will go for days without it occurring, then they'll have 1-2 hangs on the same day. Perhaps if there was some kind of verbose logging/debug file we could put on the server(s) for a couple of weeks that would detail exactly what was happening during each hang, we could be a bit more helpful to Valve in finding the problem?

I started eliminating plugins and double checking SM, using latest stable, about to try latest snapshot though I tend to prefer to not use snapshots. Did fresh server installs as well just to cut any junk files that may have been left behind that are no longer valid for the servers that could cause conflict. Nothing has been revealed. Most times, again the instance just freezes. Occasionally it will outright close and rarely do I get an error. Rarely I am blessed with a dump. Seems to happen every 6 to 12 hrs on servers that have decent traffic. Looking at the dumps doesn't speak to me much. I have seen server.dll error if I am not mistaking. Hardware has been thoroughly tested and retested and all appears well on that end. Dunno, but then I am not proficient with the dump files.

Re: [hlds] Massive TF2 Server Crashing
if they know the problem they should fix it as soon as possible, this problem is killing my server players... PS: Servers keep crashing over and over. 2010/9/19 ics i...@ics-base.net Perhaps the servers crash because they get some data off from master/item/vac whatever server and they have no idea what to do with it. Obviously this is global issue and thus Valve should look into it and affects only if there are players on the server. However, i think they already know what causes the things and do not share this info for some reason. -ics 19.9.2010 21:03, Shizzle Nizzle kirjoitti: not everyone seems to be generating the connectionlogs. mine basically are saying they weren't able to connect to the valve master/vac server or w/e which justifies that my server must die :P this sorta reminds me of that one crash from 6-7 months ago.. that would crash your server on mapchange due to valve's faulty data collection. but in that case a couple people were able to develop plugins which blocked valve data collection which stopped the crashes.if only we could bypass the crappy vac/master servers that seem to be loosing connection On Sun, Sep 19, 2010 at 12:56 PM, icsi...@ics-base.net wrote: Yes, 2nd round.

Re: [hlds] Massive TF2 Server Crashing
Crashed again like 4 or more servers at the same time. This is starting to get abit annoying, can we get a word from any valve employee? 2010/9/17 DarthNinja darthni...@darthninja.com I thought it was assumed to be bad item data, caused by valve not fixing the items with names of '' properly. That would explain why it causes server and client crashes anyway. On Fri, Sep 17, 2010 at 3:15 AM, ics i...@ics-base.net wrote: It's not that strange at all.
