RE: [hlds] RE: [hlds_linux] VAC2 Beta information
The VAC2 client in the game server attempts to use port 27014 for its communitcations. If it fails to bind to that port then it will keep adding one to the port (i.e 27015 next) until it finds a free port. If you run multiple servers it is possible to have a problem when the servers start up in the wrong order. You can use the -steamport parameter (under Source) to force a particular port to prevent this conflict (the next HL1 release will contain this feature also). - Alfred Original Message From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Agent|BeNt Sent: Saturday, July 02, 2005 7:12 AM To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: [hlds] RE: [hlds_linux] VAC2 Beta information - Original Message - From: Alfred Reynolds [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is just another nudge, make sure to use -vacbeta on your HL1 servers.

RE: [hlds] RE: [hlds_linux] VAC2 Beta information
It was GameSpy reader Matthew 'SuperBitch' Pratt who first noticed it and dropped us an email. For years GameSpy has listed the most popular online games, by players currently on the servers, on our front page and on our stats page. We can track any game that uses GameSpy technology -- which at this point is most online PC games with the exception of MMOGs -- and the player counts represent how many people are on the game servers regardless of how they connected. Since we started tracking those statistics, for something like the last six years Half-Life has been on the top of the heap. Thanks mostly to Counter-Strike, Half-Life has often had four times as many players as the next most popular game. Recently it's been sharing the spotlight with Half-Life 2. But then, last night at about 7 PM Pacific time, Battlefield 2 supassed the mighty Half-Life. As I write this HL has resumed the top position, but the games are very close. Unfortunately, consecutive user stats for massively multiplayer games like EverQuest or World of Warcraft are generally closely guarded secrets so we don't have a good basis of comparison to see how these games stack up overall. -Fargo -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alfred Reynolds Sent: Tuesday, July 05, 2005 4:02 PM To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: RE: [hlds] RE: [hlds_linux] VAC2 Beta information The VAC2 client in the game server attempts to use port 27014 for its communitcations.
