Re: [hlds] TF2 with sourcemod crashes if source TV is enabled?
Same thing happens on my Windows 2008 TF2 servers. Replied to your thread too.

Re: [hlds] Optional TF2 update released
Thank God this was fixed! It sucks to spend over an hour on a mission and have it crash. And it happened to my group 3 times. Thanks for fixing it so quickly!

Re: [hlds] TF2: Meet Your Match update and QuickPlay?
MvM Matchmaking has been down here since the update. Literally no one can connect to an MvM Mann-Up server . Currently, according to the MvM coordinator, there are 84 players near me looking for servers and there is no players in game at all. It appears the matchmaking backend is totally offline. On a side note, Can someone please fix the annoying MvM issue where the Engineer's MvM store menu closes every time someone uses the teleporter on an MvM mission? It's been going on for well over a year and it is so freaking annoying as hell! Other than that, I'm enjoying much of what the update has to offer. It's great to see TF2 is stil getting some love from Valve. I love this game! Happy Friday!

Re: [hlds] Goldrush Error on 32-slot server (Engine error: ED_Alloc: no free edicts)
@Bartek S -Perhaps you should give the command line option I listed a try and see if it helps you while E. Olsen continues working on his solution at the same time. Two fronts is better than one. I'd be very curious to see if it helps you. It resolved it for me. I'm currently using that command line parameter as follows (-num_edicts 1024) and haven't had a crash for no free edicts in over a year on the servers I run under Windows 2008. Prior to that I was getting them every other day without restarting the servers every morning. Just a suggestion. If you do, please let me know if it works for you. Thanks and best of luck. I know how frustrating it is! On Wed, Feb 24, 2016 at 6:20 AM, Bartek S wrote: > Mind sharing the solution?

Re: [hlds] Goldrush Error on 32-slot server (Engine error: ED_Alloc: no free edicts)
I was having this problem on some TF2 servers I run with a custom map. After researching it, I found out there is a command line option that will increase the number of edicts. I added the below to the command line of each server and my problems ended. -num_edicts 2048 Perhaps give it a try? My understanding is there is no limit to the number you can assign so if you need more, you can use a higher number until you find the sweet spot. I was told the higher the number you use, the more resources the server will require to run, so don't use too much more than you really need. Hopefully this is still accurate information and it helps. Good Luck! Mike Vail On Tue, Feb 23, 2016 at 12:33 PM, ics wrote: > Did this crashing started recently or has it been issue for long?

[hlds] Need Help with "Traffic from IP was blocked for exceeding rate limits" Messages
Hello Everyone, I've searched the web on this but can't find the specific answers I'm looking for so I'm coming to my fellow server operators for a little guidance. I'm hoping some of you have seen or experienced what I'm writing about below. I still love and use HLSW to watch the logs of my servers constantly. More and more often now I'm seeing messages similar to the ones below flooding my console (the IP addresses and ports change but the messages are the same): 11:55:44 L 01/18/2016 - 11:55:44: Traffic from 188.127.239.74:27021 was blocked for exceeding rate limits 11:55:44 L 01/18/2016 - 11:55:44: Traffic from 188.127.239.74:27021 was blocked for exceeding rate limits 11:55:44 L 01/18/2016 - 11:55:44: Traffic from 188.127.239.74:27021 was blocked for exceeding rate limits 11:55:45 L 01/18/2016 - 11:55:45: Traffic from 188.127.239.74:27021 was blocked for exceeding rate limits 11:55:45 L 01/18/2016 - 11:55:45: Traffic from 188.127.239.74:27021 was blocked for exceeding rate limits 11:55:45 L 01/18/2016 - 11:55:45: Traffic from 188.127.239.74:27021 was blocked for exceeding rate limits 11:55:45 L 01/18/2016 - 11:55:45: Traffic from 188.127.239.74:27021 was blocked for exceeding rate limits 11:55:45 L 01/18/2016 - 11:55:45: Traffic from 188.127.239.74:27021 was blocked for exceeding rate limits 11:55:46 L 01/18/2016 - 11:55:46: Traffic from 188.127.239.74:27021 was blocked for exceeding rate limits My initial research says that these are attacks on my servers but I'm no so sure that's correct. I'm running my TF2 and CSS servers on my own Windows 2008 Dedicated server and when I see these messages, I immediately add them to a Windows Firewall rule I have to block any and all traffic from these IPs before the server even sees it. What's interesting is that I still see these messages even though they get added to the firewall's block list. Eventually they stop but a litle while later, I get messages like it from other IPs. Sometimes I can go a day or two without any, and other days I get as many as 15 IPs doing this. I want to note that I don't see any significant performance hits on the servers when this occurs but I'd like to know more about these messages as they specifically relate to a game server. Based upon the content of the message, I assume these mean something bad is being blocked. What I find even more interesting is that many of the offending IPs that are doing this are the specific IP addresses and ports from other game servers, In the case of the one above, it belongs to a CS 1.6 server in Russia. Why would another game server box be attempting to connect to my servers on the same port it's being hosted on? This problem has grown in frequency over the past few months. Prior to that, I don't remember seeing these messages at all in console. Can anyone give me some background on what these mean and what they're about? Also, any idea why they Windows Firewall doesn't block their traffic completely when I add them to the scope of the Firewall wall so they don't appear in the console logs?
