Re: [hlds] Left 4 Dead 2 Update Released
Hello, You can correct that issue by creating separate host.txt and motd.txt files, and then placing two lines in your server.cfg file pointing to those alternate file names (whatever they may be). hostfile "host_custom.txt" motdfile "motd_custom.txt" Hope this helps!

Re: [hlds] Server Key
How can you use mm_dedicated_force_servers if you can't get to the console from a lobby? Does it work if you enter that before you get into a lobby? I've generally always used that as lobby leader to take my friends and me into our own server. Thanks. msleeper wrote: > You can set your search key before joining a lobby.

Yes... which is very annoying since it basically makes L4D unplayable...

We had that occur, but only once and we were able to switch back to our original teams by hitting 'm'.

Re: [hlds] Left 4 Dead Update Available
In regards to "Fixed lagouts/spikes after level transition" ... I updated my server this evening and we still experienced this issue. On the airport campaign, we got the timeout countdown in the top right corner of the screen and could only continue once it hit about 5 seconds before disconnection. This was going from part 4 to part 5. Jason Ruymen wrote: > A required update for Left 4 Dead is now available. Please run > hldsupdatetool to receive this update.
