Re: [hlds] Fw: L4D2 Steamgroups Borked?
If that doesn't work the way I fixed it was to actually install Steam on the server box fully update it. Start Steam then the server. Stop the server, stop Steam, re-start server as usual. No idea why but it worked for me. On 12/01/2012 6:36 AM, John wrote: This appears to be a problem with the new bin/steamclient.dll file included with the update.

Re: [hlds] Team Fortress 2, Counter-Strike: Source, Day of Defeat: Source and Half-Life 2: Deathmatch Updates Released
The fix for STV doesn't work, not for DODS anyway. It is still reporting the game server slots in the Spectate tab. The STV bot also doesn't show until on the server.

Agreed but the amount queries when that box pops up for people makes it a problem not needed for Administrators. -Original Message- From: gamead...@127001.org Sent: Tuesday, 22 November 2011 11:14 To: 'Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list' Subject: Re: [hlds] Team Fortress 2 Beta Update Just to expand on this, the STV isn't actually passworded. However, in the same way that it picks up the details of the real server (players, slot count etc.), it shows up as passworded, and so if you try to connect via the UI, before the connect attempt it pops up a password prompt. Whatever you type in is ignored, since it isn't actually passworded - you can connect via the console without needing to specify a password.

[hlds] Plea to Valve: Fix STV For DODS
I know it is an old forgotten game to most but for those that do still play the game would like updates to TF2 not to screw the game too much. STV has been broken for an eternity. We had a workaround using the sv_master_legacy_mode 1 command but that has even been removed now. STV is only shown as an IP:Port now without the set STV name. In fact most STV commands are now useless. The actual game server slots are displayed instead of STV slots. So in other words if a 100 slot STV channel is setup for a game server with 12 slots the STV will be 12 slots only. IT USES THE ACTUAL GAME SERVER SLOTS!!! Passwords also migrate from the fame server. A vast amount of DODS server operators would like to see DODS move off the TF2 update schedule as CSS has even. Just fix the STV at least or give us a workaround as we had before. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
[hlds] STV No Longer Showing
Has anyone else come across a problem with the STV bot since the last update? This is in relation to DODS, not sure about other games. It shows it as connecting, joining spec, demo starts recording but no bot is visible at all. The STV is not listed in the Spectator menu of the servers list either. It can be joined by manually adding the connect command in console though. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
[hlds] L4D2 Server Error
Since the latest update my LfD2 server will only run in lan mode. I get the following error: * Unable to load Steam support library. * * This server will operate in LAN mode only. * Did nothing out of the ordinary, just stopped the server updated. When I re-started I received the following error. Tried a full re-install as well only to receive the same error.

[hlds] STV Broken After Latest DODS Update
Has anyone else found STV to be unusable since the latest update? It appears to load ok on server start up but is not listed as using a slot in the server search or HLSW. In the Spectate tab it shows as running but shows the actual amount of server slots that the game server has not the allocated number of STV slots. If you try to join via this tab it tries to connect you to the actual game server. IP Port are however displayed correctly. The only way to connect is via console using the connect ip:port command. The only problem here is that it then uses one of the allocated slots of the actual game server. Does anyone have a fix for this as a rollback is not an option this time as clients can't connect on the last usable rollback? If not this needs to be fixed asap by Valve. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
