  OK, I think putting it in a server.cfg is the workaround for now.
  
  We'll fix it to make it legal to set it in autoexec in a later update.

 Atheist too, but then I still can be able to convey the message to wish for 
everybody a Merry Xmass? 



Its not about christ anyway, its some pagan ritual of like couple thousand year 
ago that us pagans used to have, 2 weeks of celebrations before turning to 
work again, before we where mandatory converted into christians. Oh, we had 
some rituals... lets put those in some biblical context... so we move the 
village tree from the outside into our houses, let them have a small stable 
with child Jesus in it and then its sanctioned... and that 2 weeks, let cut off 
every time a day or so, so it gets shortened to a day. But Jesus was actually 
born somewhere in spring if one would believe the scientist who researched 
the whole bunch, for the population count Maria was traveling for was then, not 
in winter. and oops, where off a couple years as well... should be like 2006 
right now, or 2015, nobody knows exactly. The Apostles didn't learn to write 
till 65 AD or some.



Well, back to the pagan rite, it was mostly to celebrate the midwinter turn, as 
from now the days become longer (on northern half of the world anyway). Yeah, 
yeah, that was the 21st... more influence from those Christian church. 



All of the sudden, the whole Christmas isn't about Christ, or about pagan 
rites or w/e. Its all make-believe.

The wishes? its just wishing ppl to have a good time during those days. Thats 
bout it. If you feel offended by it, one should get some dose of humor for 
those ppl that in the past couldn't seem to get it right. 



so far we got:
- Birth of christ: off by at least 3 months
- pagan winter solstice rite, off for bout 4 days. 
- ehm? whats left? getting together and having a good time.

Now, again: Merry Christmas



And if you have read above, you know I dont mean it offending. I just wish you 
a good time for a specific time period. Thats bout it. You reading more into it 
is more you then anything else.

/me hides for all those Christians that didn't read up their rituals.

Better solution: don't post completely offtopic garbage to the mailing

list and you will have no one complaining about it. No one wants to

read this in their mailbox, except lonely people with no real-life

family or friends to celebrate it with. This is a technical mailing

list; we don't want to discuss holidays or other irrelevant garbage

that people constantly post that is not relevant to server

administration or the hlds update tool.

Re: [hlds] Mandatory TF2 update coming Wednesday

I second this.
I used to stutter a LOT while playing tf2, sometimes it was almost unbearable.
Today I played for 2 hours straight without any stuttering, and it's amazing. 
Thankyou Valve.

Valve,
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
This is the best update in years.  Maps?  Sure they're fun, but these perf 
enhancements have changed the behavior of the game for me.  Tracking targets in 
melee and navigating through the area in and out of windows and ledges with a 
scout is so much more intuitive and enjoyable now.

Thank you.

  I've been getting reports of synchronized crashes affecting a set
  of players on my server and experienced it myself. It doesn't
  affect all players, but it definitely affects more than one player
  at the same time and it crashes the client back to OS without any
  warning or message.

  

  It's frequent and it appears to be happening on other servers
  aswell, as i have been told. Can't confirm that 100%, though.

  

  I think it should have something to do with the item server as
  long as it is a synchronized crash.

Every frame, the
engine will sleep until it’s time for
the next tick. However, the Sleep system
call may be imprecise and wake the
process up slightly later than intended.
Setting host_timer_spin_ms will reduce
the value passed into Sleep by that many
milliseconds, but will cause the process
to busy wait for longer while it waits
for the next tick and thus increase CPU
usage. The var will not improve your
framerate if you’re constantly below 66
(i.e. a bogged down server), but may
improve consistency on a sub-second
scale.

  This seem to make the FPS more consistent
