My Motd is ~9KB and my clients don't have any crashes. I would guess it's more a specific html content, which causes the crash and not the size of the motd.
Try to disable your html elements step by step to find out, which one crashes your clients. Disable javascripts, animations, flash elements and all this stuff. I had the same problems a while ago, the motd is not able display all websites and it crashes the client when there are any problems. - Andreas -----Original Message----- From: hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of Michael Ojeda Sent: Friday, April 27, 2012 8:40 AM To: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Suddenly very low server population For those who are experiencing no users on your servers, do you have a local motd (hosted on the tf2 server) or are you using a remotely hosted one on a webserver? If it's remotely hosted check to see if it's over 1KB and if it is try lowering it below 1KB. I sent in an email to the newsletter and a guy from valve is looking into it. This might be an issue as to why the servers are having issues keeping people on. Basically what has been happening for me is if the Remote MoTD is over 1KB it crashes the TF2 client. After reducing the size to below 1KB, boom, just like that users are now on... This only seems to have happened after the last update. -- Michael Ojeda mojed...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
