[hlds_linux] replay server hang
This is weird. My server stopped cold today on this message. * ERROR: Publish timed out after 60 seconds. On a side note, does anyone have any tips for running replay on a "mp_timelimit 0" server? I have a job that runs replay_docleanup every hour, and the map itself reloads twice a day. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
Re: [hlds_linux] Clients drop due to loss of connection to VAC servers
I've seen this on tf2 too, half the server would get empty. It has been a while since last time though, it is hard to troubleshoot because you need to be on the server to know it happened. No other form besides users will give you the feedback. I'll keep an eye on it and report back if I see it again. -Original Message- From: hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of Jon Lippincott Sent: dinsdag 6 september 2011 3:46 To: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Clients drop due to loss of connection to VAC servers Evan/Jeff, When was the first time you saw this happen?

Re: [hlds_linux] Clients drop due to loss of connection to VAC servers
This happened to me for different reasons, the weirdest one. DirectX set to 8.1 would cause a No-Steam Logon, some like NAT Routers getting a bunch of ports blocked, and not getting the steam certification, or a combination of some which still occur to me like running a fullscreen game application on steam, while having set dxlevel to 9.0 but before being set to 8.1 by default, don't want to get you bored.. but maybe the answer to all the players in TF2/CSS is simple, maybe the Steam Servers can't handle too many tickets at the time...

Re: [hlds_linux] Clients drop due to loss of connection to VAC servers
Probably about two or three weeks ago I noticed it happening to multiple clients at within minutes of each other even after they have been in the servers for a while.

He's saying that you should send them a link or some other code every so often via email that they must enter in steam, so it'd be more of a hassle to use throw away email accounts (especially the one time / 24 hours use ones).

[hlds_linux] Clients drop due to loss of connection to VAC servers
I'm having a curious issue. From what I can gather this doesn't seem to be happening to any other servers my clients play on. After they have been on my CS:S servers (either server, I run 2) for a little while quite a few of my clients will drop with an error message stating that they lost connection to VAC servers. This is happening quite frequently. I keep my servers up to date, by updating them nightly. They are high quality servers with a good connection running out of a data center in Chicago. They have been there for a while and this only started happening within the last month. At this point I have no idea what the problem is and I'm thinking about doing a complete reinstall.
