Much appreciated. Yatin On 20 Sep 2010, at 21:56, Joe Ludwig j...@valvesoftware.com wrote: We think we have this fixed now. The gameservers were getting into a state where restarting part of the Steam service would cause them to crash. In fact, the second crash on Sunday morning (10:58am PDT) was caused by pushing the fix live. We restarted that part of Steam this morning at 10:40am PDT and there were no reports of servers crashing en mass around that time, so we should be good. From this point forward, if you see any more instances of many servers crashing at once, please send me callstacks or crash dump files and I'll take a look.

Re: [hlds] Team Fortress 2 Update Released
Slightly off-topic; but thanks for using hlds_announce to announce the update. 2009/6/23 Jason Ruymen jas...@valvesoftware.com A required update for Team Fortress 2 is now available. Please run hldsupdatetool to receive it. The specific changes include: General - Added an option to the advanced multiplayer menu to select left or right handed view models - Fixed a bug where a spectator's wearable items could be seen floating around the player they were spectating - Fixed a bug where a fake Spy hand would appear on the screen of other players - Custom death animations now only play 25% of the time - Fixed teleporters not being build-able in some places where they should be (such as within the pit at the end of Badwater Basin) - Fixed rare client crash on connection and level change - Removed refract from water ripples caused by bullet impacts for performance reasons - Added log entries for player extinguished events using the medigun, jarate, flamethrower and dispenser - Started tracking localization settings to help make decisions regarding localization in the future - Fixed the blank progress bar in the upper-left of the screen when the client scheme is reloaded Mapmaker requests - Added spawn flag to func_respawnroomvisualizer that allows it be non-solid to players - Added SetSolid input to func_respawnroomvisualizer to change solidity to players dynamically - Added OnWonByTeam1 and OnWonByTeam2 outputs to the TFGamerulesProxy Sniper - Fixed a bad detection case in the Friendship is Golden achievement - Changed the description of the Triple Prey achievement so it better describes how to get it - Critical arrows now have a trail and correctly deal enhanced damage - The Huntsman now defaults to be right handed - Friendly arrows will no longer trigger the near miss sound on you - Fixed several sources of floating arrows Spy - Fixed disguised Spies occasionally looking like they have invulnerability, instead of the correct fake Spy mask - Disguised spies will no longer lose their disguise weapon when they interact with a weapon locker - Fixed a bug where the spy's watch would randomly change models during play - Fixed uncloaked spies flickering in and out of the cloak effect when taking damage - The Cloak and Dagger now always regenerates at its intended rate. Previously it only regenerated at the correct rate when the spy was cloaked - Increased the Cloak and Dagger regeneration rate slightly - Capped the rate of energy loss from moving faster than run speed (falling / air toss) while cloaked with the Cloak and Dagger - The Dead Ringer's cloak consume rate has been slightly reduced, giving about an extra second of cloak time on a full meter - Emerging from the Dead Ringer's cloak now drains up to 40% of the cloak meter instead of 100%. This drain only happens if the meter is at least 60% full - The Dead Ringer's cloak meter can now be regenerated from ammo sources - The Ambassador now only crits when fully accurate and no longer penetrates enemies - The Spy can no longer change weapons from the knife while shocked by the Razorback - Force-A-Nature Flamethrower air blast knockback effects no longer work on disguised spies - Fixed disguised Spies showing the wrong teleporter effects when using an enemy teleporter Jason ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds

Takes less of the pressure off to be able to compete with every one else. If we moved away from the unlockables and to just achievements and weapons, we would also kill the farming servers, the unlocker, moronic plugins, and would also cut down on all 1 class all the time as seen in every previous update.

You're running an achievement server that DOES let people farm achievements - they get one (maybe 2 or 3 depending on delay / simultaneous achievements) achievement (and probably progress towards others) before being banned. You claim your server is full, so it's turning out just as many achievements as other full achievement farming servers (maybe a little less due to overhead - since they have to go find another server afterward, etc.). You're banning these people from YOUR servers. You do provide a public list, but your list is NOT authoritative and I (and many other admins) would be hesitant to just import a list of 2000 bans. The vast majority of servers will NOT benefit from this list because most will never be aware of the list, let alone be able to import it easily (most servers are NOT running sourcebans/ sourcemod with sql/etc.). You're playing vigilante because you think the game should be a certain way. That's fine, but you won't get much support for your cause, especially with the way you are doing things. Simply setting up another server (instead of the honeypot) would be a far more beneficial to the TF2 community as a whole. The fact is there are a LOT of player who prefer to farm or unlock than to grind for achievements. I for one absolutely hate achievements, gamer cards, trophies, and whatever other crap is added to games to make them longer, force grinding, or promote social/web 2.0/e-peen crap. The mere fact that a GAME is intentionally turned into a chore to keep players playing is a slap in the face. It works though, because people feel they need that epic mount, that extra costume for Chun-Li, and the Ubersaw. It's a difference in opinion. You hate farmers, I don't care how people enjoy their game. You imposing your view of the game on your servers is fine, but I hope you realize that you're providing an achievement server which has let thousands of achievements be farmed, and that those farmers (who you claim to despise, hypocrite) are then set loose on the rest of the TF2 community (ass), while you and your servers are walled off from them (selfish).

Re: [hlds] UAC kicking in due to active-x controls in the MOTD
I was about to reply with exactly the same advice. :P That's what I do, every format, 1st thing, disable UAC. 2008/6/23 Olly [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I highly recommend disabling UAC. Its job is pretty useless as it does not ask for a password like the linux equivalent. To disable: Start Control Panel User Accounts Turn user account control on or off uncheck the box. This does not disable any account/user stuff todo with file permissions or stuff like that. It just sets it like XP. UAC is the first thing I disable when installing vista. I'm sure if you look over the internet, you will see so many people turning UAC off. 2008/6/23 Brainstorm [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi, I recently noticed that there are a few servers which seem to have active-x controls in the MOTD. A nice flash-enabled motd might seem nice, but if you do not have the proper controls installed it also causes a nice UAC popup (Vista) and eventually leads to hl2.exe being stuck on 100% cpu. Besides the obvious choice of not playing on those servers or installing the addon manually (or not running vista ^^), is there actually a way for end-users to avoid being asked to install an addon? The servers that I saw did not try to do anything malicious, but just getting the popup or even crashing from the game is quite annoying.

In effect - it just puts their hard work to waste imho. All they have to do is write some code that stops achievements being recognised on bots and/or on a local machine. Then it FORCES cheaters/exploiters to achieve them in the way they were meant. This is a company that created its flagship game with a silent protagonist. Why?
