[hlds] STV No Longer Showing

[John Moroney]

Has anyone else come across a problem with the STV bot since the last 
update? This is in relation to DODS, not sure about other games. It 
shows it as connecting, joining spec, demo starts recording but no bot 
is visible at all. The STV is not listed in the Spectator menu of the 
servers list either. It can be joined by manually adding the connect 
command in console though.

Re: [hlds] Frequent synchronized client crashes

[Cc2iscooL]

Probably because the item servers have been down and they're trying to
restore services. Same thing happens when Steam goes down.

 Synchronized crashes as well here, but not crashing the clients to

 an rcon from the server itself for "stats".

 I've been getting reports of synchronized crashes affecting a set of

 and
 it crashes the client back to OS without any warning or message.

 It's frequent and it appears to be happening on other servers aswell, as
 i have been told. Can't confirm that 100%, though.

 I think it should have something to do with the item server as long as
 it is a synchronized crash.

Happening alot today as well. Every time we get a server full, 6-12 players
will get dumped with a "No Steam Logon" error. Methinks the backend
"improvements" are not quite ready for prime time.

This happened on my servers last night -- in once case, the people getting
kicked off were entirely on the blue team. It wound up being 12 vs 1 after
everyone was finished. In each case, it was a case of "no steam logon"
before the mass exodus occurred.

Hopping on the "Thanks SO much" bandwagon. Plus, this should finaly put a
stop to Insanely-High-FPS price gouging for OB servers. It's also been great
to see people come out of the woodworks with gratitude, showing that people
are capable of being thankful in contrast to the massive hate shown when

 Every frame, the engine will sleep until it’s time for the next tick.
However, the Sleep system call may be imprecise and wake the process up
slightly later than intended. Setting host_timer_spin_ms will reduce the
value passed into Sleep by that many milliseconds, but will cause the
process to busy wait for longer while it waits for the next tick and thus
increase CPU usage. The var will not improve your framerate if you’re
constantly below 66 (i.e. a bogged down server), but may improve consistency
on a sub-second scale.

 This seem to make the FPS more consistent when enabled, it always stay

milliseconds, but will cause the process
to busy wait for longer while it waits
for the next tick and thus increase CPU
usage. The var will not improve your
framerate if you’re constantly below 66
(i.e. a bogged down server), but may
improve consistency on a sub-second
scale.

update coming Wednesday
 
Can anyone
  from Valve comment about
  host_timer_spin_ms?

  

  This seem to make the FPS more consistent
  when enabled, it always stay at 66. When
  it's disabled, it's mostly between 60-70.

  Yes, I am very relieved that this
Major Update is not one of Valve's
infamous Friday Updates.

Valve,

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

This is the best update in years.  Maps?  Sure they're fun, but these perf
enhancements have changed the behavior of the game for me.  Tracking targets
in melee and navigating through the area in and out of windows and ledges
with a scout is so much more intuitive and enjoyable now.

Thank you.

Mike
