[hlds_linux] insecure (secure mode enabled, disconnected from Steam3)

[Chris Oryschak]

All my servers aren't connecting to steam,. they are saying "insecure
(secure mode enabled, disconnected from Steam3)".  Is anyone else getting
this. I rebooted the whole server, changed the port and still the same
results.

Re: [hlds_linux] Recent TF2 update forcing tf_mm_strict?

[Chris Oryschak]

I have a weird problem, one of my servers keeps outputting this in the
console and resetting itself:

 Server has been empty with a lobby for 301 seconds.  Quitting
 MM Server in invalid match state, terminating
 Server has been empty with a lobby for 301 seconds.  Quitting
 MM Server in invalid match state, terminating


I have tf_mm_servermode set to 0 too:

tf_mm_servermode
"tf_mm_servermode" = "0" min. 0.00 max. 1.00
 game notify
 - Activates / deactivates Lobby-based hosting mode.
   0 = not active
   1 = Put in matchmaking pool (Lobby will control current map)



Does anyone know what this is about or how to stop it. Its configured
identical to my other servers but this is the only one that's doing that.

Re: [hlds_linux] Important changes to TF2 coming soon

[Chris Oryschak]

Agreed.

There's honestly no point in participating in QP if the box isn't
unchecked.  We can all look at stats the past 2 weeks and realize we get
little to no QP players because of this checkbox, now adding all these
rules to participate in QP is pointless as it would give us small advantage
in helping to populate our servers.

Re: [hlds_linux] So let's have a look at what happened since Valve turned off quickplay by default

[Chris Oryschak]

ics,

You're not the only one; i'm seeing the exact same trend on my servers.
 Traffic is 50-58% decreased and I heavily rely on my community of 5 yrs to
get the servers going come mid/late afternoon when they get home from
school & work.

If it wasn't for having my community built up for so long my servers would
be on the brink of death, give it a few months and without being able to
attract more players to replenish the community base i can see my servers
dwindling down to nothing.

And my servers are in the top 50 on Gametracker.

Fletcher - Can you chime in on this, it would be really nice to get a Valve
response on the mailing list instead of having to rely on 3rd party sources
of email exchanges.  I know why Valve has done what they have done but it
would be really nice to get some feedback and/or maybe collectively come up
with some solutions that favor both the community servers and valves strict
'vanilla' experience.

We (community operators) would just like to regain some comfort knowing
this isn't the death of us.

Re: [hlds_linux] Prevent game servers from redirecting players to alternate servers when players connect through quickplay

[chris]

What is the email address everyone uses to contact valve?  I'd like to
voice my opinion in their inbox too since we aren't getting any official
responses on the mailing list.

Another way to go about this could be:

1. The first time a player uses QP prompt them asking if they want to be
matched in Valve official servers or all servers.
or
2. After X amount of QP searches prompt to be matched in all servers.

Just some thoughts...  I really hope Valve comes up with something that
works for everyone.

Re: [hlds_linux] Prevent game servers from redirecting players to alternate servers when players connect through quickplay

[Chris Oryschak]

Dan,
Half full, half empty call it what you want, we have slowly been getting
hacked apart by valve and their crazy decisions that affect all communities
negatively.

I setup 2 new servers nearly 2 weeks ago, that was filled mostly by
quickplay - and now when i look at Dr.McKay's plugin "player analytics" my
server is sustaining a player count based off of History & Favorite joins.
I must be doing something right.  After all these were "quickplay players
that arn't part of the community" - but apparently they are now thanks to
QP showing them to the server.  That's 80% lost thanks to this update.

We can all just play on valve servers but you are failing to realize that
we are the ones that made TF2 better.  Playing vanilla with no sense of
community, added benefits; stats, incentives, contests that some of us run
make TF2 enjoyable to keep coming back to play.  We are added value that
helps keep TF2 interesting.

Re: [hlds_linux] Prevent game servers from redirecting players to alternate servers when players connect through quickplay

[Chris Oryschak]

Dan,

That's only ~1/2 my player slots filled when it's normally near full
capacity thanks to quickplay filling in the gaps.  I'm a community that has
been around for a long time and couldn't imagine anyone starting out to try
to build themselves now.

These numbers are after an update release that (everyone knows) provides a
much larger influx of players on your server for that day.

At least 5 yrs ago when we all started running servers there was no
quickplay that instantly stole players; it was fair game for everyone - as
they all used the gamebrowser to find the server of choice.  Now QP takes
in probably close to 50%+ of the player traffic that is now 99% going to
Valve's servers.

This is crippling for everyone. As Robert has said, i have never spoken out
on all the previous changes but this was the last kick at the cat and feel
i need to voice my concerns.

When's the last time Valve has thought of us and included community
enhancement features for the server communities out there?
Everything i think they have done for us has been crippling.

Re: [hlds_linux] Prevent game servers from redirecting players to alternate servers when players connect through quickplay

[Chris Oryschak]

Agreed.  Why don't you punish the communities/servers that are abusing
this.  Every step a good community takes moves forward to attempt to retain
the player gets flushed down the drain with these changes.
Quickplay is ultimately useless for any community, unless you are valve.

I currently have 235 players on my servers right now, of all of those only
23 players are from quickplay.  Seriously running servers for this game is
slowly becoming unenjoyable as a hobby.
One day they will hopefully realize that the communities they are truly
hurting are the ones that helped make them $139mil last year.

[hlds_linux] Intel I5-3550 + TF2/32 Players?

[Chris Oryschak]

Does anyone run a 32 man TF2 server on the Intel I5-3550, 3.3Ghz.
OS would be Ubuntu.

I'm contemplating moving hosts and picking up this dedicated machine as a
replacement.  Just want to make sure it can handle the player count before
I drop any money.

Thanks,

[hlds_linux] TF2 Quickplay Logging not logged in, anyway to force it to?

[Chris Oryschak]

I accidentally fired up a server using the same*
tf_server_identity_account_id & tf_server_identity_token *of another server
and now the server says:

account : not logged in  (Server at :27016 logging into account ;
kicking your server at X:27016 off of that account)

Is there a way to force the server to relogin without restarting the whole
sever?

Hi Guys,
I do not run the servers under root.

I restarted the server a good 10x and now its running regular 0.0-1.5%cpu
usage with 0 players online.  Was very weird.  If it comes back i'll be
sure to do a strace on it.

I too run the server with taskset (each server to a cpu) and renice it to
-10.

Re: [hlds_linux] Is sv_tags "event247" broken after the update?

[Chris Oryschak]

I noticed the same problem on all of my servers too.

Looking at gametracker.com valve has 76 ACTIVE Helltower servers running
which is only taking up 1824 players (24players*76servers) of the 64K
playing right now...

http://www.gametracker.com/search/tf2/?query=valve+helltower&searchipp=50&sort=c_numplayers&order=DESC#search

I guess that's what it is though.

Re: [hlds_linux] Server Full but Reporting 31/32

[Chris Oryschak]

-replay is in the startu line as a switch.

No plugins will be manipulating the player count whatsoever.  I don't have
reserved slots running at all.

The issue appears to have resolved itself when the player that wasn't being
report through query disconnected.  He showed in the server in rcon status,
and ingame but just wasn't reporting to the server query.

Odd... but all is good now.

Chris

Re: [hlds_linux] Server Full but Reporting 31/32

[Chris Oryschak]

I went through the 'rcon status' list and compared it to what was showing
in HLSW and one player was missing.  Once he left the server the server
started reporting correctly 32/32.

Maybe some steam auth problem ?

Re: [hlds_linux] Server Full but Reporting 31/32

[Chris Oryschak]

Nope. HLTV is not enabled

11:03:22 tv_enable
11:03:23 "tv_enable" = "0"
  notify
  - Activates SourceTV on server.

[hlds_linux] Server Full but Reporting 31/32

[Chris Oryschak]

My server just started doing this, the browser/hlsw reports the server as
31/32 but when you goto connect it says  'Server is Full'.

rcon status indicates the server is full with:
players : 33 (33 max)

But queries are reporting 1 less player

Replay is enabled.
No reserved slots (plugin not loaded).
sv_visiblemaxplayers = -1


I haven't changed a thing, it just started doing it at random.  I haven't
altered the server in any way for many weeks with the exception of server
updates.
A server restart did not fix it.

Has anyone come across this problem?

[hlds_linux] Server Hang / Restart Script ?

[Chris Oryschak]

Does anyone have any good scripts they are willing to share to restart a
server when it hangs/freezes with the 100% cpu bug?

I'm guessing you will need to use qstat to query the server to determine if
it's no longer running/responding and then restart it.

Anyone?

Thanks,
Chris

Re: [hlds_linux] Steampipe TF2 server can't find steam libraries

[Chris Oryschak]

Rudy,
I ran into that problem a week ago when i was prepping for steampipe.  Here
is what I found:

server@ch2:~$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
*Description:Ubuntu 10.10*
Release:10.10
Codename:   maverick

If you're running 10.10 you will get that error message.  I had
to upgrade to 12.04 by doing:

*sudo do-release-upgrade*

Once upgraded it worked no problem.  Unfortunately i just did that one box
and it didn't come back up after a reboot :(

[hlds_linux] Multiple SRCDS Instances on Multicore servers?

[Chris Oryschak]

A recent thread made me wonder if i'm running my servers the most efficient
way.

For the longest time I've been running multiple servers on a single box
that has multiple cores.  Each SRCDS instance would be assigned it's own
core to prevent it from hopping between cores as I assumed they might
overlap and max out that core.  Plus I remember discussion of lag
spikes occurring when it moves between cores.

That being said, ICS in another thread said he's been running his servers
not assigned to any specific cores.

Here are my questions:
-Those of you who run multiple SRCDS instances per server, do you assign
them each to a core?
-Do you renice any processes?
-Do you change the realtime scheduling?
(
http://wiki.fragaholics.de/index.php/EN:Linux_Optimization_Guide#Setting_your_servers_to_run_with_realtime_scheduling)
-Any other process tweaks to give SRCDS more priority?


I'm curious how everyone else is doing this to achieve maximum performance.

Thanks.
Chris

Re: [hlds_linux] Lag?

[Chris Oryschak]

Interesting! (sorry to semi hijack this thread).

I'll defiantly have to try this out.  My dedicated server with 8 cores has
each srcds instance (8 servers on it) bound to a core each.  My
understanding was that they would overlap onto the same core and tax that
cpu core if they wern't taskset'd to a core each.

Do you run your server(s) with -threads 3 ?

Re: [hlds_linux] Lag?

Shouldn't you bind each srcds instance to its own core if you are running
more than 1 server on a box?

[hlds_linux] Start Server With Replay Auto-Enabled?

[Chris Oryschak]

Is it possible to start a TF2 server with replay's enabled and not have to
perform an changelevel after the server initially loads.
The reason i'm asking is because I have a few single map (24/7) servers
that don't change the map and when i first load up the server (or after
patch day) i need to manually change the level once for the replays to work
correctly.

Currently I load TF2 with the "-replay" switch which and the console says
this:

*   SUCCESS - REPLAY IS ENABLED!
*
*   A 'changelevel' or 'map' is required - recording will
*   begin at the start of the next round.

Thank you so much for the iptables rules.
Ever since implementing them I haven't had a single problem with the IP

Re: [hlds_linux] Server Reassigning Public IP - Dropping off master server List

[Chris Oryschak]

Do you have the iptables rule to accomplish this.
If this has no side effect to the users and forces it UDP every time.  I'd
be much happier to go this route as a resolution.

[hlds_linux] Server Reassigning Public IP - Dropping off master server List

[Chris Oryschak]

This has been a known issue for quite sometime.  Myself along with other
mailing list members have brought it up in the past.
The past week it seems to of gotten a lot worse.  Today alone i've had to
fix the problem on two separate occasions.

*The details:*
I have a dedicated server with 4 IP address' assigned to it. Each server
instance I run has it's own unique IP Address with the default port for
each instance (27015)

Now randomly the server will lose it's assigned IP address and reassign
itself one of the other IP's that are available.  The problem with this is
the moment it occurs the server drops from the master server list.  It's no
longer visible on the internet.

When type "status" in the console this is what I get, i've
bolded/underlined the problem area:


version : 1.2.3.3/22 5079 secure
*udp/ip  : 142.54.178.234:27015  (public ip: 142.54.178.238)*
account : logged in
map : cp_dustbowl at: 0 x, 0 y, 0 z

Another-
version : 1.2.3.3/22 5079 secure
*udp/ip  : 142.54.178.237:27015  (public ip: 142.54.178.238)*
account : logged in
map : plr_hightower at: 0 x, 0 y, 0 z


I just finished fixing 4 servers on the same box with this bug/issue.  It's
starting to become quite annoying having servers drop off the master server
list and require a server restart to fix.  I get servers going from full to
empty when this happens and it requires my intervention to fix.

Server details:

:~$ uname -a
Linux ubuntu 2.6.35-22-server #35-Ubuntu SMP Sat Oct 16 22:02:33 UTC 2010
x86_64 GNU/Linux

:~$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:Ubuntu 10.10
Release:10.10
Codename:   maverick


I brought this issue up August 14 2012:

and I know someone else has (just cant find the post).

It would be nice to have SOME acknowledgement they're aware of this and

No it hasn't.  This is still an ongoing problem.

Re: [hlds_linux] [Csgo_servers] De-listed after losing connection to Steam.

[Chris Brunelle]

This really needs to be fixed.

The public IP being reported when you type "status" in console is different
than the IP set on startup.

Re: [hlds_linux] TF2 Updates

[Chris Oryschak]

When I first started out hosting servers for TF2 I looked forward for
patches.  The patches didn't hurt the server traffic but gave you a good
chance to help build a community by grabbing new players.

After every patch you can expect to have a full server (assuming you are on
the ball).  And being on the ball and having a updated server isn't that
difficult.  I know myself and other people on this mailing list have
automated their update process (eg. look into nemrun).  I manage all 16 of
my servers and it takes zero effort.  Some time invested in the background
makes less work for you to admistrator, and gets you ontop of the updates
to build a community of players for your server.

So yeah, I strongly disagree with the OP. Hell the past 2 updates
i've received my servers have gone from crashing ~ 300-400mins to not
crashing at all.  I think that says enough right there.

Keep up the good work valve, I defiantly appreciate the
constant updates and active feedback on this mailing list.

Re: [hlds_linux] Mandatory CS:S update released

[Chris Strand]

Hi Marco,

Yes - I am seeing the same problem, it will crash on start up if ESL plugin
is running.

Also, executing a match config, e.g. esl5on5.cfg or edcssmr15.cfg causes
the server to crash. There is probably a command (or combination of
commands) in there that is causing it but I haven't had time to track down
the offender. Please post back if you are crashing when execing these
scripts even after removing the ESL plugin. It would be nice to know I'm
not the only one!

Re: [hlds_linux] New WebAPI: Is my server listed on the master server?

[Chris Oryschak]

Fletcher,

Two of my servers just did it again.  Neither of the servers restarted or
crashed.  When I type  "status" i'm getting an incorrect Public IP.

This all seemed to happen ~10mins ago when I lost connection to steam
friends.  I've also been noticing my servers bouncing up/down from the
master server list.
This is indicated in both the API URL and by doing a simple refresh in-game.

Chris

Re: [hlds_linux] New WebAPI: Is my server listed on the master server?

[Chris Oryschak]

Weird it has a different public IP...


18:15:05 hostname: RAILBAIT.NET #06:Valve Maps/Missouri
 version : 1.2.2.3/22 5023 secure
 udp/ip  : 142.54.178.234:27015  (public ip: 142.54.178.238)
 account : logged in
 map : koth_lakeside_final at: 0 x, 0 y, 0 z
 replay  :  recording
 players : 21 (33 max)



The only reason people are on it is because I sent an event out from my
steam group that filled the server.
But since it's not listed I give it ~30mins and it will be down to 0
players.

Re: [hlds_linux] New WebAPI: Is my server listed on the master server?

[Chris Oryschak]

Is their a reason why a server would drop off from the master server list?
Is there a way to manually make it re-register itself?

The reason i'm asking is because I host 8 servers on one box.

Over the night 3 servers dropped off master server list.  Performing a
server restart to srcds brought the server back up to be listed.

I left one server in this weird state incase someone at valve wants to look
into it.

Two servers are running on the IP: 142.54.178.234
One is on port 27015 and the other is 27016

As you see from the API, its working correctly and only seeing the server
on port 27016.

http://api.steampowered.com/ISteamApps/GetServersAtAddress/v0001?addr=142.54.178.234&format=json


The server on 27015 isn't showing up at all.. though if you toss the IP in
HLSW you will see its up and runnning.

Any idea on why this happens?

Thanks,
Python

[hlds_linux] TF2 Safe Zone

[Chris Oryschak]

Hey Guys,

I want to make a room in my trade server a "safe zone" where players cant
shoot/kill each other.
Another server has accomplished this (IP: 69.147.239.114:27015).
>From what I can tell they are using Stripper:Source (URL:
http://www.bailopan.net/stripper/) but I can't figure out how it's
accomplished.

The Author isn't into the mod scene anymore, i've tried the SM forums and
even emailing the server OP.  No luck, i'm hoping maybe someone has some
insight into this on the mailing list.

Thanks,
Python

Is anyone having any problems with their servers no longer showing up in
the game browser since this patch?

Only 5 of the 13 servers I have are showing up, even after multiple server
restarts.

Re: [hlds_linux] Players reporting our TF2 servers are running too fast.

[Chris Oryschak]

I've actually done this on my servers accidently.
If you set the  RDTSC_FREQUENCY  value 200-300 higher than the recommended
benchmark it will make the server run faster in all aspects.. rocket speed,
movement, reloading, etc. The timer would count about 71seconds for 1
minute of real time

You can put the frequency way higher and the will go super fast.

[hlds_linux] Left 4 Dead 2 - this session is no longer available

[Chris Boot]

Hey,

So a bunch of folks in my community have been getting this message when 
trying to join lobbies or even active games. The chat in lobbies is also 
*really* lagged. This has been happening for over a week now and is 
getting annoying to the point we've had to abort the odd game because 
people just couldn't join.


Anyone else seeing this? The forums seem to have lots of folks 
complaining about this.


Is Valve ignoring this issue? It certainly feels like it.

Re: [hlds_linux] No Steam Logon - massive lag

[Chris Oryschak]

That's correct.
I started off with a Linode 1536 and it ran perfect, the only problem i ran
into was that my server was becoming popular and i was about to exceed the
bandwidth limit.  For those reasons I started looking around at other VPS'.
 I ended up moving to NFOServers.com and have their 3-core VPS.

Haven't had any problems and for the record mid last year i've had my
server ranked 3rd on gametracker.com.  You defiantly can't go wrong for the
price, i've had some hiccups but at a fraction of the cost of a dedicated
servers you can't argue it.

With my 3 core server I do run 3 servers on it, 32player, 24 player, and a
match/lobby server (24 player).  It can manage all of those servers when
you specify one per core.

On the other hand if you try to go with a cheap VPS provider
(ThrustVPS.com!) expect issues!
You do get what you pay for.  Then again.. if you are running idle servers
this works:P

Cameron,
What type of hardware does ChicagoVPS.net use and what package are you
subscribed to.
I can't see 256mb being enough to run 2 servers @ $7/mo.

Re: [hlds_linux] No Steam Logon - massive lag

[Chris Oryschak]

I'm having a similar problem where the server would drop 90% of the
players.
Their hl2.exe crashes and the chat displays a client timeout message.

Is this similar to what you are experiencing Michael? Or are your clients
just getting disconnected?

You are a client on a network.  I am thankful that people who have dated
ideas about the function of networks are not in position to make all of the

Re: [hlds_linux] Mandatory Team Fortress 2 Update Released

[Chris Oryschak]

Same problem here. I've had almost the a full server drop in player count
because of this.  TF2 ends up crashing (happened to me 2x yesterday
evening).

The console would say the user timed out.. probably from hl2.exe crashed.

Re: [hlds_linux] Unable to update Server

[Chris Strand]

Have you tried updating any other games? Have you been able to update in
the past on this CentOS install? I know CentOS default install has pretty
tight firewall settings but I have never tried installing source servers on
it.

I can't fault the command line arguments, but for the purposes of sorting
out this problem replace -verify_all with -retry or remove it entirely, as
you may know it takes long enough already when it does work (but obviously
not hours)!

Sorry for not providing *much* help, just trying to narrow down the
possible causes.

Prymal,

Damian is just following best practice. It is important to let potential
and current users of any piece of software know if there are serious and
glaring security vulnerabilities. Hopefully Eric will post a very visible
warning on his Github page and edit his post on AlliedModders to warn
others as soon as he reads Damian's comments. I don't know Eric but if he
posted his efforts for public use I assume he will be interested in taking
it further so will probably fix these problems when he can.

Well I think I have now resolved this. Basically, I had to quit my servers for 
a few hours, and when they started back up I stopped getting non-group-members 
in them.

So, when changing sv_steamgroup_exclusive, shut down your servers for an hour 
or two before starting them back up.

Re: [hlds_linux] Servers Locking up - Ignoring bogus angles (nan, nan, nan) from vphysics

[Chris Oryschak]

Both maps "trade_post_a34" and I just tested "trade_plaza" which crashed
with the following message:

That's two maps that it's occurring on. I'll continue to try a few more.

NOTE: My regular TF2 rotation servers are not crashing.. maybe its due to a
specific uptime on a map?

Our servers have worked like you ask for a long time, but the last 14

I'm not aware that you _can_ register L4D2 servers - not with Valve 
anyway. I just started them up and within minutes started seeing players

It's stopping them arriving now I don't want them that seems especially

[hlds_linux] L4D2 and sv_steamgroup_exclusive

[Chris Boot]

Hi folks,

I remember posting about this ages ago but never really got a response. 
I've just set up some brand new L4D2 servers on a brand new server, and 
the issue came up again.


Basically, I started the servers up without an sv_steamgroup set and 
without sv_steamgroup_exclusive, and let them run public games for a few 
days in order to get things tested. Once I was happy that things were 
working, I set both an sv_steamgroup, sv_steamgroup_exclusive 1, and a 
custom sv_search_key. I put those settings in server.cfg and restarted 
the servers.


I know the settings have taken as I can verify them on the console, and 
the servers appear on the menu screen and are therefore associated with 
my steamgroup.


I did this several days ago and am still seeing the L4D2 matchmaking 
sending non-group-members to my servers on a regular basis, and the 
servers are staying full almost all the time.


What can I do to stop the general matchmaking traffic and make these 
servers truly group exclusive as they should be? I do _not_ want to set 
an sv_password.


HTH,
Chris

Yep, the whole of Steam seems to have gone titsup. Way to go Valve! :-/

Re: [hlds_linux] Global Offensive Dedicated

[Chris Strand]

Hey,

>
> so please let us stay on target:   dedicated servers for cs:go - yes or
no?
>

I spoke to Chet Faliszek at Eurogamer about this. There will not be
dedicated servers that the public can run in the beta. As some of you may
know Valve are intending to introduce some sort of match making system - I
was told this will run on their own servers and these will be the only
servers available for the beta. I asked how it would be possible to have
competitive matches in the beta if you don't own the server and hence can't
set the password - I didn't get a very clear response but I got the
impression it would not be possible.

Fortunately there *will *be dedicated servers for the full launch, however
these will not be able to take part in the match making system; that will
continue to run on Valve's servers only.

Bear in mind that this was already over a month ago I was told this, things
change, my memory may have failed, I may have misheard etc. But I thought I
should share.

Re: [hlds_linux] Mysterious server crash since latest TF2 update

[Chris Oryschak]

I don't know, the way i would interpret "plugins removed" is you cleared
out the following folder: /addons/sourcemod/plugins

Try renaming "addons" to "addons1" and try starting the server.  I bet you
it will work.  I had the exact same problem after the update with my
servers and i upgraded my sourcemod to the latest dev snapshot.  Which
fixed it.

Re: [hlds_linux] CSS: Crash with Mani Admin Plugins

[Chris Brunelle]

Old how? It's been updated to support engine changes and they've added
features to it.

The appeal is the basic and most popular features are included in one
plugin.  While you have greater control with Sourcemod, you need to hunt for
plugins and update each plugin separately.

Mani has it's place.

P.S. For the record, I use Sourcemod as well.

What does that have to do with anything?

They still provide an updated gametypes.txt when a new update comes out.
