RE: HLDS Stability
You're experiencing some rather odd tendencies (such as DoD being half-way stable and outlasting a CS server), but regardless, you don't *need* to be there to restart it. http://www.winsoft.net.au/~stephen/serverdoc is a small but highly functional little utility that will restart your crashed server automatically http://www.firedaemon.com is a small and extremely useful little utility that will install any number of programs as an NT/2k service, complete with priority settings, processor affinity, automagic restarting of crashed processes, etc... Plus, it starts up when your machine starts up. If for any reason the machine reboots without your knowledge (can happen sometimes at a colo), the servers aren't sitting, dead, waiting for you to manually start them up...

RE: {OT} RE: Bitching about 1.1.0.8, RAM comments
So, what you're saying is if you plan on overclocking your CPU, you should
buy brand name memory, so it will work ok when you bump the FSB?
I can't see any valid reason why you would need CL2 capable modules unless
you're overclocking your CPU. CL2 vs. CL3 will give you *maybe* 1% better
performance on a non-overclocked CPU, which you'll never notice.

I think they've already said that a broadband codec would be released soon after the 1108 launch. I'm only a lowly ISDNer (broadband take-up is slow here in the UK) but I think the patch has been excellent so far. Our clan server is taking a bit of a hit performance wise, but I think its mainly down to congestion. The same sort of thing happens at every new HL/CS upgrade.

Win2k's 10-connection license has nothing to do with HLDS or anything else. The point of the license is to discourage use of the less expensive Win2k Pro as a production file/web server instead of Win2k Server. HLDS requires no license (what, you think Valve wants to put up several thousand servers all over the world? :), and there is no violation of your Win2k license.

RE: 1.1.0.8
Well I have been running LGSOCENTRAL on the new patch since day one. I see no real problems. There is LAG at times but that could also be attributed to congestion on the Net. Thanks for the Patch Valve!! People that just bitch about the patch should be banned from this list, the same way we ban people that bitch and talk shit about our free servers.

[OT] Full 1108 Client
Hello all: Does anybody know if Valve put out a version 1108 full client file. If so can anybody point me to a download link? If not I wonder why they chose to stop releasing a full client.
Re: {OT} RE: Bitching about 1.1.0.8, RAM comments
Actually there is a difference with the Kingston Valueram line it is a lower
end (cas 3) performing budget RAM seen at retail stores like best buy and
CompUSA.. It was also a joke if you haven't noticed, chill dude.
