Re: [hlds_linux] [hlds] Mandatory TF2 update released
Any idea when we'll see the Linux/Mac fixes for CS:S, HL2:DM and 300? We still have some players on Macs, only a couple on Linux.

Re: [hlds_linux] Mandatory TF2 update released
Seeing as I can't get anyone at Valve to acknowledge via email, I'll report here. Not really a server issue though. I note a strange chargin targe is getting its kill counter updated when you do kills with other weapons. I assume it's not by design. I've got something like 5000 kills on mine now as a result. IIRC this started around the gun mettle update. At least that's when I first started noting the messages for reaching milestones popping up even though I hadn't charged to get a kill. -- Dan ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
