Re: [hlds_linux] Optional Team Fortress 2 update later today (toolchain update)
Thanks so much for doing a optional update in this way. It really helps to have forewarning on potential mod breaking updates.

Re: [hlds_linux] Mandatory Team Fortress 2 update released
What is the difference between setting: sv_voicecodec vaudio_speex & sv_voicecodec steam? Does "steam" = vaudio_speex + sv_use_steam_voice "1"? Does "vaudio_speex" = vaudio_speex + sv_use_steam_voice "0"? Or is it something completely different? I'm a bit confused.

Re: [hlds_linux] Mandatory Team Fortress 2 update released
Thanks for the update Eric. Is there any news on if/when the issue with the new Voice Codec will be patched? I saw you guys did respond to the Github issue thread and was hoping to see some news on the issue this update. I still have all my personal servers reverted back to the old Codec but it would be nice to use the new one as the quality is so much nicer. Also, I feel bad for all the MAC users who play on your official servers who are unable to communicate with their team. Anyway, thanks for fixing the team issue it was causing a lot of problems. Hope you had a nice holiday. On Mon, Jan 16, 2017 at 5:21 PM, Eric Smith wrote: > We've released a mandatory update for Team Fortress 2. The notes for the > update are below.

Re: [hlds_linux] Mandatory TF2 update released
Did some testing and found a few things. 1. On servers with the new default settings MAC users all have chipmunk voices. I tested this over multiple servers with 5+ different MAC users. Just going on the server asking if anyone was using a MAC and then requesting they speak on the mic briefly. 2. The user who I was testing with last night (Windows 10 User) whose mic is very low, we ran some more tests. I found two things. The user was using a Corsair Gaming H1500 head set and I had them switch to a Iphone head set. The switch seemly improved the mic quality. Then I found something even more strange. If the user connected to the server with no headset plugged into their computer and then plugged in their headset after full connection the sound quality was perfect. However, to keep this perfect quality they need to unplug the headset on every connection including map changes.

Re: [hlds_linux] Mandatory TF2 update released
@John Schoenick The volume settings in the Voice Options menu is the very first thing I tested with effected users. Some of them had the setting not set to max but even after changing it and trying to talk it increased slightly but was still not normal. I also tried to test changing some of their OS microphone properties. I also checked to see if Windows Firewall or some anti virus program might be causing it. Nothing I did was able to fix the issue. I have some demos for you to view where I tested combinations of each setting with a user who was effected. To change the settings I added the cvars to the server.cfg and restarted the server completely each time to make sure it was fresh boot.

Re: [hlds_linux] Mandatory TF2 update released
@psychonic Yes it isn't forced for community servers you are correct. The bigger issue I think would be Valve's servers now default these settings and those servers have the majority of players. I expect many people will be effect and head over to Reddit so keep a eye there to see if it's as wide spread as I think it is. I just ran a quick test with someone who was effect on a Casual Valve server and that person was still effected there, and also another player on the server who I asked to talk also seemed effected.

Re: [hlds_linux] Mandatory TF2 update released
Thanks for the quick response Eric. Doing a quick Google search I found this bug report from 2013 which shows it's pretty wide spread: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Source-1-Games/issues/33 Also I think the person in that bug report is using a Linux server but I can also report this is happening on Windows servers as well.

Re: [hlds_linux] Mandatory TF2 update released
I noticed you also changed: sv_use_steam_voice So it defaults to: 0 sv_voicecodec So it defaults to: vaudio_celt When testing these setting a month or so when it was in BETA stages I noticed a few issues. I would set these setting and restart the server to make sure it set everything properly. For most people their Mic quality is improved however, a significant minority of players were have a issue. When they tried to talk it sounded very quite to the point where you can almost not hear them. I don't think this is a issue with the new Voice Codec but with setting Steam Voice to 0. I remember a issue like this happening to some people when I would set this to 0 in the past. Now that it's seems you are making these options the new standard is there any information you can give us as to why this may be happen to certain players and how to fix it? Thanks for the update and have a happy holiday. On Wed, Dec 21, 2016 at 2:55 PM, Eric Smith wrote: > We've released a mandatory update for Team Fortress 2. The update notes > are below.

Re: [hlds_linux] [hlds_announce] Optional TF2 update released
Hey John just a quick question. There are confirmed reports of the Unusualifiers still giving the Halloween effects when applied even though the event is now over. Is this on purpose? I thought those effects were supposed to be turned off now.

Re: [hlds_linux] Mandatory TF2 update released
Still have some issues with the ragdolls crashing clients to desktop. I sent you a email with some of my crash dumps. Please take a look when you have time. Thanks a lot for fixing most of the ragdoll issues though, my Prophunt server seems fine now. On Mon, Dec 15, 2014 at 6:51 PM, Eric Smith wrote: > > We've released a mandatory update for TF2.

Re: [hlds_linux] Mandatory TF2 update released
Can you please fix models causing clients to crash to desktop for game modes like Prophunt. I'm not sure what exactly is causing it but the game mode is dead until you guys update with a patch.

Re: [hlds_linux] TF2: Some model files not downloading since last update?
I've not tested this but I have heard complaints from a couple of my player. They tell me bosses on my slender man server appear invisible.
