Re: [hlds] Mandatory Team Fortress 2 update released

[Hasser Css]

Thanks for being one of the few Valve people who give any kind of
communication, but that is a pretty bad explanation.

One can say it is unlikely that people have been exploited because it was
disclosed privately and such... but that is not a good security mindset.
What exactly is the harm in saying the scope of the vulnerability,
especially now that it is fixed? :/

  Not without getting super technical on crash callstacks.  Right now we
 are gathering crash reports (via the Bugsplat tool) and working on
 resolving the most common crashes (as well as other low hanging fruit
 crashes).   We are likely to have a few hotfix builds like this before
 our first proper patch (with bug fixes), but one is in the works.

 This update includes the following:

Re: [hlds] Killing Floor 2 EULA: Removing server owners?

[Hasser Css]

Oh boy, more sensationalist anti-EULA shit. Tripwire isn't going to do
anything to your servers or to your game key unless you're intentionally
making issues for massive amounts of other people.

They should make the EULA's wording seem less scary, just to make this
fear-mongering bullshit that everyone is crying about everywhere stop.

On Thu, Apr 23, 2015 at 12:45 AM, Ross Bemrose rbemr...@gmail.com wrote:

 So, it's been brought to my attention that the Killing Floor 2 EULA

 sexism, and cyber bullying).

 The EULA also contains provisions for banning servers that allow this
 abusive behavior to happen.

 This is something you seriously need to discuss up front to server hosts,
 in detail.

 So I felt I ought to update you guys as to the progress of the group, (Fix
 Quickplay Now!) http://steamcommunity.com/groups/fixquickplay, that I
 launched.

  Currently it is at 483 members and I have had help and advice from
 several people read this mailing list. They'll be acknowledged shortly if
 they so wish. But by request of one, I've been asked to update you guys and
 also link you to this:

  *Firstly for those that don't know and don't want to click the link:*

  Tl:DR - Through main menu updates Valve have made Quickplay appear to be
 the only way to play TF2. The Jan/Feb 2014 update made only Quickplay match
 Valve servers by default. While this can be changed, the setting is hidden
 behind menus that few players investigate. This bias unfairly cuts out all
 the communities that have supported TF2 for years and removes variety,
 custom content and choice from the user.

 The majority of players don’t know this and many new players don’t know
 community servers even exist!

  *And for a more detailed response that I spent a great deal of time
 writing, click below. It contains **a list of pros and cons of QP (from
 the perspective of players) and plenty of nicely formatted suggestions:
 some of which are new and arose from discussion with initial group members,
 many from the mailing list.*

  *http://redd.it/2xkyad http://redd.it/2xkyad*

  If you guys in the mailing list want to feedback about your experiences
 to the community, this reddit post would be a great place to do so.

  I'm also in discussions with one of the mods of the subreddit to get
 this thing pinned.

  Kind regards,
 Dax

 Another approach can be to give those female players miniadmin rights, so
 they can ban someone for a short time. Had to deal with about the same kind
 of stuff, where 1 player made it bad by cajoling up the others, this lasted
 some time, and went out of hand. We banned the guy, but the rest kept at it.
 We decided to give her admin,  and  then she could ban any herself, which
 ended the situation fast, because then as soon as it happened, she banned
 them.

Giving special rights to people on your server just because they are a
female and can't ignore people herself? You're a bloody nutter! Please
post your server name so I may add it to my blacklist and never have
the misfortune of joining it.

 Hi,

 I have a few million .dmx files in my /orangebox/tf/replay/server/blocks

 the windows explorer costs more than 24 hours.

 Does anyone know a good and fast way to delete a folder where it doesn't

 Reinstallation of Windows2008 + all the gameservers seems to be faster
 then just deleting the replay data :(

You don't need to test sv_pure. Should use sv_pure 2 anyways, but
you won't as that would conflict with your pay-2-win garbage. You're
just lucky Valve doesn't ban for mathacks.
