Re: [hlds] Steam support library

[Joe Powell]

I have also suffered from this error, is there any official word on a fix
when running older servers with the newer steamcmd on the same box?

Re: [hlds] Steam CMD

[Joe Powell]

It wouldnt be so bad if for example, you could use it with any account.

For CSGO, its beta, so your account has to have access to it? Or am I
wrong, in which case, we might aswell all create new steam accounts for
server purposes.

Re: [hlds] A hl2 model that can crash TF2 & CSS client

[Joe Powell]

Is it a custom map that is being created?

If so I dont think you can expect valve to fix their client for a custom
placement of an entity. They support their own maps, not custom created
ones.

Re: [hlds] 100 TICK SERVERS

[Joe Powell]

Id like to throw a challenge out, these '1000fps servers' against some
decent quality 'standard' servers.

Get some top teams, possibly one of the big esports news sites to test.

We wont tell anyone what the servers are, just provide them with links ie.

server1.gametestblah
server2.gametestblah

See what they actually say is better. End this once and for-all.

Hello people

We have a problem with a few of our windows servers, 

They are showing that the server is ‘full’ when 0 players are connected to the

Ideas?
