Re: [hlds] [hlds_announce] Mandatory Team Fortress 2 Update Released

[DontWannaName!]

I think the delay between the news and when the files are actually put on
the servers or are accessible is quite long. I just was able to start
updating both my client and server. My client and server started at the
same time, both were getting errors before. This happens with most large
updates.

Re: [hlds] Overwolf + VAC

[Crazed Gunman]

I have been kicked from Punkbuster protected BF2 and BF3 games 
presumably for Overwolf, but it seems to be rare. I have not used 
Overwolf in BFBC2, but have been kicked, presumably for use of the 
TeamSpeak overlay, don't know why else I would have during a comp match.

teamspeaks website, they're only promoting it to millions of users.
It's fine, not being detected because it isn't injecting.

Your ignorant if you think Steam's overlay doesn't do

I would be careful about using it with Punkbuster enabled
games, It if happens Overwolf uses the same technique as a
cheat tool, Punkbuster will consider it a cheat tool and
invoke a kick and/or ban.

Re: [hlds] Fw: L4D2 Steamgroups Borked?

Nice catch, that got the servers out of LAN mode... however the Steam Groups 
are still borked. Now that a problem has been identified hopefully we can get 
another fix sometime soon.

This appears to be a problem with the new bin/steamclient.dll file included

Re: [hlds] Fw: L4D2 Steamgroups Borked?

[John Moroney]

If that doesn't work the way I fixed it was to actually install Steam on 
the server box & fully update it. Start Steam & then the server. Stop 
the server, stop Steam, re-start server as usual. No idea why but it 
worked for me.

Windows server users could create a batch file to do the same on a windows
scheduled task, just as easy as us *nixers can slap a crontab line up.

There are also two SM plugins available to perform the same function.

Re: [hlds] Overwolf + VAC

[Frank T. O'Connor]

It's worse than that. There's been a rise in cheats piggybacking onto 
GameOverylayUI.exe + it's dlls and hiding behind it. If you white list the 
Valve overlay support, you've just white listed the UI side of certain cheats. 
Still, the cheat may be caught when it tries to tap into game info.

That one update from 2010 is still causing people including myself to be kicked 
by Punkbuster when the overlay is enabled, It's a stalemate between Valve and 
EvenBalance as to who's responsibility it is to solve it and has been ongoing.

 

There has been a rise in legitimate tools being detected as cheats by 
Punkbuster of late due to the same hook methods being used by cheat tools and 
I've referred three this week alone.

 

Just being courteous in letting the OP know there is that possibility when it 
comes to Punkbuster.

Re: [hlds] Overwolf + VAC

[Frank T. O'Connor]

Sadly, in order to do overlay on a Direct3d game and have it work on multiple 
version, you have to inject and/or api hook. There's no clean interface for 
simply registering your DLL to be called at the end of the frame processing. 
Not to mention, you have to really integrate into the pipeline to do things as 
slick as say Steam overlay ( register fonts, textures, etc... ). Lots of 
hooking. And all that code looks very similar to what a cheat would do to draw 
say ESP on the frame.

Re: [hlds] Overwolf + VAC

That one update from 2010 is still causing people including myself to be
kicked by Punkbuster when the overlay is enabled, It’s a stalemate between
Valve and EvenBalance as to who’s responsibility it is to solve it and has
been ongoing.

 

There has been a rise in legitimate tools being detected as cheats by
Punkbuster of late due to the same hook methods being used by cheat tools
and I’ve referred three this week alone.

 

Just being courteous in letting the OP know there is that possibility when
it comes to Punkbuster.

I don't have an issue playing COD4 with the steam overlay, I don't know
about battlefield 2 because I don't have it, I have bc2, and that uses the
same version of punkbuster as BF2 if i'm not mistaken. 

 

With the volume of players on steam using evenbalance's products in their
games, I highly doubt it would still exist as an issue after 7 years. 

 

Reviewing threads on SPUF show that there was only one update in 2010 that
caused this issue on BF2.

Re: [hlds] Replay Download Error

I think you'd be surprised. We have a HUGE amount of bandwidth sucked up by
replay every month.

On my (windows) servers, the replay "cleanup" system has never worked. I
ended up using a 3rd party system run on a regular basis using task
scheduler to clean up the old files. I just set it to delete anything in
the target folders over two days old every time it runs.

Re: [hlds] Replay Download Error

[Hedgehog]

You guys made me aware i've got the same problem ;)

With Team Fortress 2 i've decided to go the easy way, so I'll just disable
it. Don't think (m)any of my regulars are using it anyway.

Re: [hlds] Replay Download Error

[Jason]

Tyler, I have the *SAME* issueand all i could do was simply turn off
replays, which made my community annoyed/sadbut, I had difficulty
browsing the FTP folder of replays as my FTP client would crash.  I had to
ask for my provider to delete most of them for me so I could at least
browse the folder.

Definitely wish it didn't leave every single replay block on the FTP ...
that just seems silly

Re: [hlds] Replay Download Error

[Tyler Davies]

Hey guys, not to deviate from the subject of this thread, but I'm having
MAJOR replay issues as well.

It's not that it isn't working, it's that it isn't working as intended. I
didn't check on this earlier, and I just noticed. I have replays being
accumulated and they are NEVER deleted! I have replay blocks dating back to
August of last year sitting in the replay directory! What the heck!? Aren't
they supposed to be removed when the server is updated? There are now more
than 10 GB of replay blocks in just ONE of my replay directories. It
crashes my SCP client as soon as I even open the directory.

How can I solve this problem without deleting replays still in use by
clients? Valve, it would be nice if the server would actually remove the
replays when an update is pushed through just as the game client states it
will do, and recommends for clients to save their replays if they want to
keep them.

Any assistance is appreciated! =]

Re: [hlds] Replay Download Error

replay_fileserver_port "21"

Can you comment that line? Or change it to 80?

21 is the default FTP port, download goes over HTTP

Keep in mind that the ftp path isn't the same as the path for the

Check and make sure the FTP server isn't full.  We had that issue with our
servers a while back, it even prevented the map from changing.

Re: [hlds] Replay Download Error

[Mark Steele]

Looking at the URL given, the public/ folder doesn't exist. Just replace it
with replayfolder/ in replay_fileserver_path and it should work fine.

[hlds] Replay Download Error

[Shon Myles]

I've been experiencing an issue on my servers where replay downloads fail
everytime. The error players get is:

Replay error system: The session info file failed to download: No headers.
URL:  
http://stompfesttf2web.site.nfoservers.com:21/public/replayfolder<http://stompfesttf2web.site.nfoservers.com:21/public/replayfolder/20120111-083609-ctf_turbine.dmx>

Here is my config:

replay_enable "1"
replay_block_dump_interval "15"
replay_fileserver_protocol "http"
replay_fileserver_offload_enable "1"

replay_fileserver_host "stompfesttf2web.site.nfoservers.com"
replay_fileserver_port "21"
replay_fileserver_path "/public/replayfolder"

// Your FTP info. This data is private and not shared with the client.
replay_fileserver_offload_protocol "ftp"
replay_fileserver_offload_hostname "stompfesttf2web.site.nfoservers.com"
replay_fileserver_offload_port "21"
replay_fileserver_offload_remotepath "/public/replayfolder"
replay_fileserver_offload_login ""
replay_fileserver_offload_password ""
replay_fileserver_offload_maxuploads "16"

Any ideas?

Hrrrm... afaik Fridays update http://store.steampowered.com/news/7036/ broke 
the steamgroup servers feature for L4D2. It never returns any of our servers 
now.

Anyone else? L4D seems to be working fine though L4D2 isn't. I'm guessing the 
new function added broke it?

Last time I had this issue, I ran the process as administrator and it worked. 
It's not very secure, but it worked for me. Might want to give that a try.

Mine are up and running.  Are you sure you got all of the required files?  The 
first time I ran the update I only got server.dll and one other file, which 
took the left 4 dead 2 common depot up to 120 from 119.  The server still 
launched fine, but I ran a second update to make sure and a bunch more files 
came down, this time updating that same depot from 120 to 121.  As far as I 
know, I wasn't behind on any updates.
