Re: [hlds] Valve Security Breach

Yeah to continue flooding this mailing list with something unrelated to HLDS…

Is there a source to the claim that that account was hijacked?

Hey now, it's not spam, he told a good joke:
" (probably $30,000+ in value) "

On a more serious note, if anyone is re-using their credentials such that this 
creates some sort of security liability for their HLDS they are doing it wrong

Re: [hlds] Forum vs. email list

[Jake Haldeman]

I think announcements are really nice in the list format, troubleshooting and 
trolling seems to be better in a forum.  I know when I'm dealing with an issue 
I visit the forum frequently to stay up to date.

It would be nice to not miss update announcements mixed in with people asking 
about server specs which seemed to have triggered a lot of discussion

Re: [hlds] Mandatory TF2 update coming Wednesday

I'm guessing the default is that it will show the icons.  But if your 
server.cfg has the tf_show_voice_icons after the update it will no longer work 
because they changed it...

This is just a heads-up that it’s coming so that you can be prepared.

There is one change that might require a change to server configs:
tf_show_voice_icons has been renamed to mp_show_voice_icons so that it’s more 
generic.

Thanks,

Jake,

I spent a few days researching this and I believe the answer is no, there seems 
to be no way to turn off this feature. I guess one option would be to change 
the graphic for the icon and make it transparent, but that would most likely 
require significant work for the game and a forced download to all the clients 
who connect to you server.

Sorry... Unless I'm missing something, it appears you're out of luck. Sounds 
like a good feature request for the DOD:S Steam forum though.
Take care.

Re: [hlds] Server crashes (E. Olsen) (E. Olsen)

One solution is to not go to sleep!

Have you tried disabling addons or anything to see if it is related to 
something else?  Also it doesn't happen at the same map rotation does it?

I agree. It does always seem to happen (mostly) right after a map change while 
people are joining the serverso it seems like some kind of network error 
that locks up the server. I just wish we had some way to debug it so we could 
give Valve better specifics about exactly what's happening when the server 
hangs occur. Regardless, it needs to be addressedthere's nothing worse than 
having a popular server sit empty all night because it froze after I've gone to 
bed.

Only TF2 servers froze. CS:S and L4D2 seems to not freeze, though my CS:S
