As a 3rd party dev, making some serious 3rd party modifications to TF2. I have yet to have anything bad happen.
My server, with my modifications, has yet to crash. Even with some nasty hacks that are totally experimental, it's still rock solid. I am impressed, and shocked. And lag? What lag? There's lag in TF2? 3x Servers 2x 24 1x 32 Server CPU: 10%-20% BW Usage when full: 4.5mbps Awesome work valve. Now quit being lame about the 32 player server bs. - voogru. -----Original Message----- From: Patrick Shelley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 16, 2007 7:16 PM To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: [hlds] Valve's Lack of Announcements -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Sorry, but i gotta say my piece here..... I got 2 servers - 1 UK and 1 USA For a start - do you really think the lifespan of this game is just 2 months before it gets boring? Are you serously say that? Cause if you are - you must have the brain of a child - nah, thats too kind. The brain of a fish. You know what I've decided? I've decided to think this through logically. And no i'm not a valve fanboy - im normal. TF2 has only been released since the 12th of september. To date that is exactly 5 weeks. Up till the 10th of October it was offically beta. In which time they must have got thousands of bug reports. My guess is that in their offices they dont have every single variation of PC that is out there. That they probably developed this game on a very limited selection of PC's and Servers with varying hardware and software. So, they release beta TF2 - get the feedback and address the most important and specific problems. Release updates, the clients install updates - and problems go away each time this cycle happens. The game uses the latest source engine, and combined with the game beta tag - its obvious that there are gonna be issues. Then you get scripters and 3rd party devs creating mods.... while its still in beta!!!! Then they moan when x,y,z happens to break their mod and they barrage this list with zillions of emails ranting and raving about how "valve dont care" - OMG...... Please get some perspective here..... I'm ditching my servers until valve are happy with their creation - and we're not getting server updates every other day. When their happy and the code works as best as its gonna do on ALL types of PC platform - then start making your mods!!!! I agree valve should have addressed this sooner - but i suspect the reason they didnt is because as steam news pointed out "they went away" to have a break from what they completed. So simply put - im waiting until the code is stable and modders could wait until the code is stable before creating their masterpieces to aviod this scenario.
