[hlds] RANT: VAC2 servers....
This is a multi-part message in MIME format. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I got curious last night and decided I wanted to find out what servers are part of the esteemed beta test for VAC2. What I have found left me speechless for a few hours to say the least.. Only one set of servers has vac2 that I can see.These servers are all identified with The-Space as the first part of their title. 3 of them to be exact. 66.93.87.42:27015 66.93.87.41:27015 66.81.7.226:27015 And NONE of them are central or east. Get this ALL west. I did a trace. Apparently these are all speakeasy.net ips. Now I know that Seattle is where Valve headquarters are/is (The ips traced to seattle Washington speakeasy.net), however to my knowledge they are not The-Space. One can only wonder who this server owner sucked off to get to be part of this exclusive beta test. Bet odds its someone who curries favor with the vac2 developers. I mean how does one get to say exclusively.I run the only anticheat for this game, no other server in the world can say that. Is that fair to the community in general? Not in my opinion. They said it started logging already. But logging only 3 servers out of how many? I bet the logs are about 100k in size. Couldn't be any larger, those servers don't get much traffic. I know I've been watching them since I discovered there existence. And one can only wonder how many servers will crash with vac2 because of the sole server group being used as a test pool. I can only wonder at the incompetence of this. Is Valve prepared for catastrophe on live day? You only have to do the math to draw the same conclusion I did. 1,000s of servers + 1,000s of server configurations x 5 or 6 (types of operating systems) = good odds live day will be a disaster testing on only one server pool with the same exact server configuration. Last time I checked a beta test was to include more then just one group. Its distributed to multiple platforms to test various server configurations. This is done to ensure that MOST of the bugs are worked out and the software is stable across multiple platforms. I think back to the days of steam beta.gee that wasn't an exclusive beta test. Not one SOLE group, but multiple groups. Last time I checked tests were not done on one small group out of 1,000s of server operators out there. Think we may shutdown our 2.0 servers and replace them with BattleField2 servers come june. More money to be made in a game that doesn't discriminate against its customers. Their anticheat is tested across a broad number of platforms before being rolled out not just one groups. To you flamers that just want to say go play that other game then. I will. 8) -StealthMode -- ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
RE: [hlds] RANT: VAC2 servers....
I thought the beta testing was collecting data from many many servers(clients?), but when the server shows up as VAC secure; it will have VAC acctivated and ready to ban? Sounded like that to me atleast... As usual I might be wrong. Maybe those servers you found was the first three to go into the next stage of the testing, as Alfred informed about? -Alexander -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of StealthMode Sent: 26. april 2005 08:40 To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: [hlds] RANT: VAC2 servers This is a multi-part message in MIME format. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I got curious last night and decided I wanted to find out what servers are part of the esteemed beta test for VAC2.

Re: [hlds] RANT: VAC2 servers....
Moan Moan Moan. Seeing as the options to be VAC secure haven't been released and Alfred has already commented on list and on forum about it being a glitch that it showed as secure, and steambans said that VAC is being tested on servers that don't actually show as secure... maybe you should wait a little longer before complaining.

Re: [hlds] RANT: VAC2 servers....
Alpha is in-house testing, beta is public testing. Don't you think it's better to test on a small amount of servers (since beta is usually limited to a certain amount of testers) and work out any kinks VAC2 may have? Once the developers feel the system is ready, they will release it and hopefully it will catch all the bad players out there and teach em right from wrong. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds

Re: [SPAM] Re: [hlds] Half-Life 2: Deathmatch Update
There are other games with dedicated servers out there. For instance, you should try FarCry out. No update headaches there. Why there are no updates at all! Never will be! And you can run what, one FC server per host without smashing the CPU? lol As always, those who can write a better game can complain but we all prefer you deliver the great game to end all games over the usless flames. Also, I'm not sure this was a mandatory update. Reading the news can help the admin decide whether or not to patch.

All three of my servers crashed running this latest crappy map, and I'll never run it againbut now I have to patch again to fix this worthless pile of a bsp? Even your mappers can't even double check their quality before releasing something! After 3 months, no bug fixes...the HL2 community could care less about new maps, most of which are not worth running anyway. Many of us are just about done running servers for this screwed up game.

[hlds] Double entries in hlsw
I have the following in autoexec.cfg log oN logaddress_add 10.0.0.12 27500 logaddress_add 10.0.0.12 7130 logaddress_add 10.0.0.2 7130 The first logaddress_add is for hlstats on 10.0.0.12 The second is for hlsw on 10.0.0.12. Both of these run 24/7. The third is for when I want to run hlsw on 10.0.0.2, which I do from time to time. I get double entries in the console of hlsw on 10.0.0.12. Every event is repeated twice. Now it gets weird. If I fire up hlsw on 10.0.0.2, the double entries at 10.0.0.12 go away. If I terminate hlsw on 10.0.0.2, the double entries don't come back. My question (if I haven't confused things too badly) is how to stop the initial double entries on 10.0.0.12 ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds

Re: [SPAM] [hlds] Server Video Card
Go to http://www.noclans.com/downloads.htm and download srcdsfpsboost.zip Try it instead of the other FPS Unlocking techniques. You should now see ~500 FPS in your CSS consoles. No tick rate adjustment needed for these FPS rates. Adjust your tick rates the way you wish but do so carefully. I leave mine at the default and the smallish servers (10 - 16 slots) I run do perfectly fine on the platform where they are running.
