For some reason most our servers arnt losing VAC anymore.
But, now a new bug, steam client keeps losing connection to server causeing
the cs game to disconnect due to "No connection could be made to steam logon
servers", or "No connection could be made to VAC servers" is a populair one
sinds this weekend too.

Subject: Re: [hlds] Servers losing VAC, gettin beyond a joke...
I totally agree with Rayne.I've been running servers since 1.3.I now have
cs
1.6 in acouple different flavors and a CS:S server.I used to run a CSDM
server also.Seems here lately that VALVe is busy with other things and
this
happens here and there.I don't think it is because they are neglecting(sp)
us,they just don't keep the people,who keep all the servers for their
game,in the loop.I for one would like at least a weekly update on whats
being worked on such as a list of bugs still being worked on,an estimation
or ruff guess on how far along the next patch is about to come out
ect.Also
when you do get something solved tell us and let us know it will be in the
next patch.Also another HUGE help would be if you could gather up acouple
Server Admins from across the community to test the updates BEFORE you
release them over a major holiday and you know you won't be back.I wasn't
effected by it as I'm not on linux but I can imagine the frustration
several
operators went through.Theres basically 2 major issues I see with VALVe
vs.
any other companies.#1 not enough communication of issues and resolves.#2
making sure 95-99% of what you work on works right on as many different
flavors of os's and systems BEFORE you release the update.I think this
would
calm this list down a great bit with just those two things incorporated
into
your daily/weekly cycle.
It seems everyday that what happened to EA is about to happen to VALVe.At
least EA woke up after they saw most of the servers with some quality
going
offline.But I dunno.
This is not directed at Alfred as he is just one person in a pool of many
people at VALVe.But I would like to see more than just Alfred jump on the
list from time to time and answer questions and provide some input.Show
the
community you do care about our servers and our quality of
services,especially for the GSP's out there that get hit when they have to
tell their customers "Whenever its done" .Thanks thats my rant for the
month.
On topic.Between all the servers I run,they are all on different -sport's
and different ip's running off multiple nics.And all are scheduled to
restart anywhere between 5am and 7:30 am.And they all at random times and
restarts don't pick up the vac modules.After a restart they do pick them
up.I used gamepanel for my stop,start,restart and batch files for my hard
restarts.

Hey, how about release an update you can handle, hey, how about don't
have
your guys wipe out every Linux server on planet earth on the Xmas
holiday.
Hey, IMPRESS us for a change huh!?
Rayne
P.S. Obviously we've lost confidence in Valve and your patronizing
comments
like "when it's done" has gone too far. Why not just close the list. It's
not like it make a difference to anything anymore.
