Re: [hlds] RCON Crash work on some condition
August 25th '09 was the last bugfix. See update news for the game on your Steam. I'll just clarify that the promised fix will include the same changes as they did for OB on 7th of Dec '09 and the mail i got was almost a week ago.

Re: [hlds] Console Log From Server Lag
On a server I was on, I was able to have it print my name to the console by using none standard letters in my name, and calling rank with a hlstats plugin. Not sure if its related. I had a Unicode style gun, so I don't know what the letters are exactly, but hlstats would output the first few letters of my name, then it would just break. Since it uses rcon to transmit the message to the server, I figured it may be relevant. -Original Message- From: hlds-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlds-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of Drogen Viech Sent: Wednesday, January 27, 2010 5:20 PM To: Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list Subject: [hlds] Console Log From Server Lag A2C_PRINT looks like this on windows, dunno about linux: A2C_PRINT from 127.0.0.1 : Message goes here. 2010/1/27 Nephyrin Zey nephy...@doublezen.net: It could be an exploit in one of your plugins, or he could be abusing A2C_PRINT, which still works.

Re: [hlds] Changes in Dedicated Server Capacity After Updates
I haven't extensively tested non-hires kernels or stable lower FPS configurations, but I wouldn't think so; It allows you to set dynamic tic and very low kernel resolution without getting wildly inaccurate sleeps. Without hi res timers, sleep can only wakeup as fast as the kernel resolution, meaning you'd need 1000hz to get the high fps everyone craves so much. If you hook the sleep() events on the main loop and make the engine sleep more/longer, you dont get much CPU savings for the performance hit. (see: windows boosted vs non-boosted). You're just generating 1000hz interupts when they're not necessary, rather than simply sleeping as desired and waking up as desired, generally using tsc or hpet.
