Simple buy scripts are being used to hinder server performance and even crash 
them.
How to's have been posted on steam forums and other forums over the last week.

RE: [hlds] Crashing DWP servers

2006-11-29 Thread Bart King
Heh, that video demonstrates the problem quite nicely.

Wasn't it suggested, a while back when DWP was in beta, to leave pistols
entirely out of the equation?

Related: if you look at the projected price for the Desert Eagle right
now, it's $25K. With an upper limit of $16K on actual earnable money,
that's not going to work.

Also, from the actual algorithm explanation (at
http://steampowered.com/stats/csmarket/algorithm.html):

If the pistols were included in the larger pool of prices, they would
often become too expensive to afford during the beginning of a match.

Isn't that slightly ironic?

noone will buy a deagle in the next week - price will decrease (-100% ?)

but i guess the algorithm doesnt work correctly - even if THIS week
nearly noone will spend 12K - the price will increase...

but really: valve isnt sleeping, they will see the problem and work on
it... no need for us to comment every bit

I disagree.

I think that Valve will take a while to fix this problem and people
like me rely on this mailing list to let me know of the problems that
are likely to crash my servers.

In this case, I wonder how many people will have DWP on by the weekend...
