[hlds_linux] CS:GO DS installation question.

I tried looking this up but to no avail...will CS:GO ever have an easy way to install a ds without needing a steam account with go on it? I wanted to begin preparations for when it goes public and I wanted to know how soon until I can install it at my host. Right now the steps are looking a little

Hi, Aaron! Yeah, there eventually will be! I'm going to go ahead and assume you'd probably like the source of my answer as well as some details to accompany it, so I'm including a copy of an email that Alfred sent around a month ago on the topic. Make sure you specifically take a look at the two

Thnx Alfred, for clarifying the root cause. Tbh, such pollution I would not want here on the mailing list. And @hasta : if you're running that, be at least man enough to name that crap when having a problem, so any legit server owner can ignore you as they should.

A huge rate does not mean that the data is split in very small packets where the payload is less than 10%. In old HL2 engine the rate was used only for computing the time when the next update can be sent to a client. The formula was something like: next_time = current_time + (bytes_send

I'm not 100% sure, because I don't have the source code, but: 1. If the data that must be sent to a client is smaller or equal than 1260 bytes then is sent immediately in one packet. 2. If the data has a length greater than 1260 bytes then is split in multiple packets. First packets have 1248

Right, so what would be the optimal values of both the convars (or rather all the rate-related commands) be? I run sv_maxrate 10 on both 24 and 32 slot. From: invalidprotocolvers...@gmail.com To: hlds_linux@list.valvesoftware.com Date: Tue, 7 Aug 2012 21:54:37 +0300 Subject: Re:

sv_minrate 10 sv_maxrate 0 This fixes clients with wrong (way too low rate) while doesn't limit if anyone has it higher. For slow connections below 1mbit/s download this could cause some small ping spikes but should still be playable even on 512kbit/s download. Slower ones are kicked by

Ill intervene, having sv_maxrate at 0 can cause the major issues. Make it a very large number instead such as 10. On 8/7/2012 12:46 PM, Adam Nowacki wrote: sv_minrate 10 sv_maxrate 0 This fixes clients with wrong (way too low rate) while doesn't limit if anyone has it higher. For

What kind of major issues? rate is capped to 1MB/s on client side (if I remember correctly) and I had those settings on my server for at least a year with no major issues so please explain (I hate FUD). On 2012-08-07 21:49, Cameron Munroe wrote: Ill intervene, having sv_maxrate at 0 can cause

sv_maxrate 0 means the server can send as much traffic as it wants. When I had my servers setup with sv_maxrate 0 I would have tons and tons of players disconnected via buffer overflow. Long story short, the server sends information in spikes then that can overwhelm the client. On 8/7/2012

Ok, with that I'd agree but it's not really that many disconnects and they happen mostly during map change (client takes too long to load?). I'd rather see it fixed by Valve and the more clients kicked the more incentive for Valve to fix it ;) On 2012-08-07 22:01, Cameron Munroe wrote:

The original graphs look exactly like what happens when a client has manually twiddled their rate settings and it doesn't match the server. Or, the user has their rates manually set too low, ala this: http://whisper.ausgamers.com/wiki/index.php/Bad_choke_solution If you want to try it
