i agree , in the past 3 months of updates Valve has literally crushed my chances of ever getting anywhere with my tiny little game server providor business. ive lost nearly half my customers because of laggy and unannounced updates that keep servers offline for hours. its hi time valve put out an ANNOUNCED optimization of the game. im sick of playing evry single game on earth and getting 250 fps, but barely clear 75 in source because "free sound list is full" error and many others run in console lowering fps and raising cpu. please just clean up the game errors ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <hlds@list.valvesoftware.com> Sent: Friday, December 23, 2005 9:45 PM Subject: [hlds] unannounced updates
