Can anyone confirm that this same error shows up in SourceTV demos? -Jon From: hlds-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlds-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of Jon Lippincott Sent: Monday, February 20, 2012 4:44 PM To: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list; Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list Subject: [hlds] Replay corruption/crashing Hi everyone. The thing that's been tricky about this particular bug is that it occurs intermittently. In order to fix it, we need a way to reliably reproduce the error. I am hoping I can get some of you to help so that we can put this issue to bed. The problem seems to stem from corrupt replay data being written on the server. If possible (if it isn't completely random), I need to get the server into a state where it will reliably write a bad replay. Does a particular map need to be loaded? Is it a particular item that's equipped? If anyone has specific information on this, please let me know.

[hlds] Halloween 2011
We're going to be launching some new Halloween content in the near future and wanted to give you all a quick heads-up. There will be random gift drops, but this year we are requiring that participants register their servers. If you choose not to register, you can still run the Halloween maps, but no gifts will drop on your server. By registering, your server will also be included in matchmaking, which will potentially drive traffic to you. Note that cheating or otherwise abusing the gift drop system will result in losing your registration, access to gift drops and other potential value-adds in the future. You still have plenty of time, as this change won't be going live until next week. Registration is quick and simple, and is outlined herehttps://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2825-AFGJ-3513#how. -Jon ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
