I tried the sv_master_legacy_mode 0 cvar not because of generosity to try untested code. But because my servers are crashing without segmentation fault and I have been bugtesting for almost two weeks now without any real change in the matter. I was going desperate and tried ANYTHING.
My servers WAS crashing like crazy 2-4 times a day without any segmentation fault (meaning no reboot), just a simple freeze. This started to happen after the 13/3 update. With sv_master_legacy_mode 0 the server has now not crashed for a whole day. A coincidence? Maybe we will see in another day or two. But so far so good. If anyone else has their servers crashing, freezing for no apperent reason, please try this and mail the list or me personally, thank you. Second matter: With sv_master_legacy_mode 0 my server does not appear in the master list, the server is responding in the favorites list. When I check the server info it updates the latency but in the player window it says that the server is not responding, which is wierd. And I have also had fewer players on the server after changing sv_master_legacy_mode 0. And it is also not reporting bots, which I guess could be called a feature. (my server 217.78.19.163:27015) Anything more you would like me to check Mr, Reynolds? -------------- Message: 4 Date: Thu, 29 Mar 2007 16:59:01 -0700 From: "Alfred Reynolds" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]>, <[email protected]> Subject: [hlds_linux] Master server reporting beta Reply-To: [email protected] We have new code in development that changes how servers report to the server list (in anticipation of increasing the information in that stream). The initial change has no feature changes, it is just a different code path for reporting the same information. We need in field testing of this feature, can you please put "sv_master_legacy_mode 0" in your server.cfg to test this feature and then monitor the presence of your server on the Steam master server lists (via the Steam serverbrowser ideally). Once we have had this "shake down cruise" this setting will be made default. - Alfred _____________________________________________________________ Get Your Own .NU Web Address Now! ---> http://WWW.NUNAMES.NU _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
