[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.

 We should be able to ship a fix for this early next week.

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.

 Some time has now passed since Valve defaulted quickplay to Valve servers
 only on TF2 and we are taking the hit. Roughly half of our servers it now
 empty. Changes daily which servers have players and which have not so it's
 not really a lack of people not knowing them are there but lack of players
 one and nobody enters. They switch to fuller servers and since there isn't
 much new players entering automatically and regulars are hesitant to enter
 empty ones, this is where we are.

 So after running servers for TF2 since the game came out, this is what i
 get, go away message? You don't want me to run servers anylonger? I don't
 run crap on servers or advertisements or any mods, except for
 administration between servers. Thanks a lot, Valve.

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.

 This wasn't even mentioned by Fletch in the recent mails tonight or from

 sent thru this mailing list from the majority of owners not happy about it.
 The data shows it causes issues when left checked by default - just uncheck
 it and let people decide after the fact.

 If the default official servers box isn't going to be removed, community
 servers will still be cut off from the majority of new players, whether
 they
 qualify or not. The new guidelines for quickplay also make it impossible

 Sheesh. I wasn't the only one playing TF2.  I wasn't on empty servers.

 How do you think the other players connected before quickplay?

 The evidence is and was obvious. Millions of people played the game and
 joined servers using the browser before quickplay existed - and they
 do the same in myriad other games that don't have a quickplay feature too.

 And they still do it today, after quickplay.

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

Quickplay is ultimately useless for any community, unless you are valve.

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.

[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.

 Doesnt matter if quickplay players are part of the community or not. They

 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.

 The way I see it, your glass is half full and you're complaining it's
 half empty.

 Quickplay players are not really part of your community.
 If you have 235 people connecting to you, that's 10 full servers more or
 less.
 How many full servers do you need?

 I note that any particular time there are 20-5 people
 playing TF2, give or take.

 If they are on a server happily playing TF2 why should Valve do anything
 so you can all fight over
 these players? There's no logic to that is there? What purpose does it
 serve to the people playing the game to give you tools that let you fight
 over the same set of players.

 There's no economic competition. You can't undercut anybody.
 There's no technical advantage you can gain.

 One missing thing from TF2 right now is some incentive for the pub
 community to complete objectives and play the game. All of the incentives
 are now randomly given - and it's great to see Valve congratulating
 themselves
 in slides at the Dev days over how much money they make doing this but
 it's come at the expense
 of the actual game Team fortress 2 that was once about capping intel and
 points.

 The new weapons that count kill streaks encourage people
 to play defensively and build a streak rather than pushing to cap or to
 complete an objective. The game rewards a kill streak but has no reward
 for winning.
 Ironic really given that to get the kill streak you do have to win the
 MvM mode.

 Why add all the incentives to win MvM and none for the multiplayer and,
 worse,
 make those MvM prizes hurt the multiplayer objectives even more?

 So, that's something pub communities could perhaps address to get an
 edge, but they don't.

 If the complaint was Servers are empty because people have stopped
 playing TF2 because
 of your change Valve - there'd be a point. But you cannot argue People
 are happily playing
 TF2 on other people's servers and that's not fair

 Unless you're going to say without our servers there wouldn't be enough
 servers
 But, then your servers are bound to have players on them, aren't they?
 If your servers are so key to Valve's and TF2's success that Valve will
 miss them if you take them away
 how can those servers be empty?

 If QP is 50% of the player base - it doesn't really matter what the
 percentage is,
 it follows that 50% of the player base don't care about communities.

 And I doubt many that connect via the server browser do either. I think
 they look
 for nearly full servers with a low ping running a particular map, pretty
 much
 regardless of what game they are running too.

 Unless you have a game that gives you some kind of persistent presence on
 a server,
 like minecraft, and presumably newer games like Rust, there's no great
 reason to fret about going back.
 So in some ways you picked the wrong game if you want people to care
 about revisiting your server.

 There's no state left behind after someone leaves a TF2 server - and the
 communities that have attempted to add this via things like 'credits' and
 stats and
 ideas like this are not very imaginative.

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.

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...

[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?

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]

-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

 Are you starting replay using the -replay switch, or via a config file

 Also, are you running anything like SM or MM with any plugins or extensions
 which could potentially be messing with it? One example would be something
 that works with reserve slots.

[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 :(

 with error:
 /home/username/.steam/sdk32/steamclient.so: cannot open shared

 It does this even though I've specified -steam_dir and
 -steamcmd_script on the command line. I resolved it by making a
 symlink in my homedirectory to the steamcmd installation directory
 named .steam and a symlink sdk32 - linux32 in the steamcmd install
 directory, but that's more a work-around than a solution.

 We know that it can happen immediately after an update, if you are talking
 to different web hosts that are hosting the manifests and content, the
 different web hosts can be temporarily out of sync while the update
 propagates.  But it should not persist this long after an update has been
 released.

 Those of you having the problem, do you have anything custom in your
 config that might be exposing the bug?  (using http proxy, forcing Steam to
 talk to particular servers, etc)

 What I plan to do is keep two copies of the full srcds install.

 First one of them is updated. Then all the servers are shut down, and
 the new files are copied over to the second full install. The servers
 are symlinked to the second install. Best of both worlds ;)

 To piggy back on this thread, how are you guys handling srcds updates?
 The only disadvantage I can see with symlinking is you then cannot
 launch with -autoupdate on each of your instances, but you can't update
 the master copy either while the children are running.

 Are you guys then just manually shutting down all servers to update the
 master copy every update?

 Thanks all for the insight. I've also been looking at the forked server

 I've got a pretty good idea now what I want to do after hearing how
 other folks manage it. We use CPGS to manage the servers so it won't be
 necessary to actually start/stop/restart them from the script - what I'm
 looking to write is just some scripts for rapid updating of metamod,
 sourcemod, and tf2, along with a rapid way to deploy a new install with our
 standard plugin and config loadout.

 Only thing that was left, was there now an option to tell server owners

 Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Symlinked Server Setup

 I am also using a symlink setup. My system has a masteruser which owns
 the
 masterfiles/server. This user is within the same group as the users that
 own the actual gameservers. Linking serverplugins decreases the needed
 adminsitration. Update mms/sm once and all your servers can make use of
 updated binaries.


 When I install a server or serverplugin like mms/sm I work in two passes.

 1. pass is to copy files from master a user needs to edit (incomplete
 extension list und wrote down from my memory):
 cd masterfolder/
 find  -type f -name *.cfg -o -name *.ini -o -name *.smx | while
 read
 file; do
if [ ! -d targetserver/`basename $file` ]; then mkdir -p
 targetserver/`basename $file`; fi
cp $file targetserver/$file
 done

 2. pass symlinks the rest recusive. Previously copied files won´t get
 overwritten:
 cp -sr /absolutepath/to/masterserver/*** /absolutepath/to/targetserver/


 If you only have a few servers and do not mind using an interface, you
 might be interested in easy-wi.com. It makes use of symlinks and has a
 free version.

Re: [hlds_linux] MvM Matchmaking broken?

[Chris Oryschak]

I too run a very popular server and have noticed a HUGE decrease in

2013.

My server still strives it just takes a lot more effort to keep it full (
but no longer active all through the night now).

  Seeing we have a MvM discussion I thought I'd give my opinion as well.

 I've been playing a lot of MvM last few days and noticed a couple of
 things;

 - Often you get sent to the VALVe-lux servers (from the netherlands).
 Pings are fine, however, the performance is utterly shit. The servers are
 extremely laggy!
 - Often you get sent to 3rd Party servers running Pinion, this crashes a
 lot of clients I play with, including mine
 - Our own MvM servers, unmodded, no pinion, excellent ping and
 performance (and closer by than Luxembourg) are sitting empty at the moment
 I am searching for servers, which is weird, as badly performing servers
 somehow receive most traffic. (during the evenings our MvM's are mostly
 full).

 So, not only the matchmaking system is broken in terms of Geolocation,
 something is also broken in the server ratings and giving VALVe servers
 prio over 3rd party servers can mean you end up at worlds most poorly
 performing machines.

 Just something to add, but the other day a group of my friends were
 playing
 MvM. We all had Mann Up tickets however it took to long to get into Mann
 Up
 so we decided to play normal Boot Camp. We we did not except was that we
 got into a Boot Camp server in seconds because according to the statistics
 that showed. There were over 700+ servers applicable for MvM all of which
 were empty.

 I think the plain fact may be that there are just too many servers
 available and the fact that less people are playing making MvM and TF2 in
 general less popular.

[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 ?

 I believe Valve have already acknowledged it as an issue in the
 past.
 It happens when the server loses connection to Steam, which causes
 it
 to switch transport protocols - and the UDP one doesn't respect the
 bind address.
 Other than block the problematic one, forcing it to toggle back to
  the
 other, there isn't really anything you can do.

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.

 As a slight correction, it's the TCP connection which doesn't respect the
 bind IP.

 The workaround is to block outgoing TCP connections on port 27017, this
 forces the server to use a UDP connection to steam.

  This is well know issue. When your machines IP is different from the

  The worst part is that when someone joins your server and you want to
 check
  game info on friends it shows the wrong ip and doasn't detect a
 gameserver
  where this person is playing.

  Only way to repair this is to restart gameserver.

   I believe Valve have already acknowledged it as an issue in the past.
   It happens when the server loses connection to Steam, which causes it
   to switch transport protocols - and the UDP one doesn't respect the
   bind address.
   Other than block the problematic one, forcing it to toggle back to the
   other, there isn't really anything you can do.

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.

 critical. Don't think there's been any new items either. If your members

 And if you think these updates are killing the game, imagine having tf2 be
 completely broken or the mvm mode crashing servers or etc.

 Don't think that's it. Especially because it was (at first) sending players
 to test servers put up by me which used all default cvars (so matchmaking
 ones set to 0) and no registration ids.

 Another thing I noticed today was when I put up some new servers with new
 registration ids. They were mostly sitting there empty. That is until I
 joined them, then I got 5 more players sent in quite fast. Then I moved on
 to the next server and repeated this.

 So with all these empty servers it would be nice if matchmaking took me and
 the next 5 people in line (within the same geographic region) and sent us
 to one of those empty servers. Instead of having us wait for seemingly no
 good reason.

  I notice a lot more mvm servers tonight joinable from the browser, so I
  managed to get a decent game tonight.
  It's a fun mode too imo, so worth persisting.

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

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.

[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

 OK, I think putting it in a server.cfg is the workaround for now.

 We'll fix it to make it legal to set it in autoexec in a later update.

 Thanks for the bug report.

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.

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

 Unstable FPS, lagspikes (because the CPU is shared, and if some customer

 want.


 To be fair it's 6 of 1 and half a dozen of the other.

 If you've got a dedicated server running nothing other than one
 instance of a TF2 server, then you're incredibly fortunate and maybe
 you won't have to share the cpu.

 Otherwise, usually, the machine your server is  on, whether it's a
 VPS or not, will be shared in some way with other people.

 e.g If you google 'tf2 servers' and find one of these '39p a slot!'
 folk you will get a TF2 server running on a machine that you share
 with other customers of that vendor. If this works then why shouldn't
 a VPS? OTOH, if it doesn't work, how are they getting away with it?

 That means you share the cpu and all the other resources on the
 machine, pretty much whatever option you pick. If you've ever played
 on Valve's fra servers at weekends when nigh on every instance is full
 you'll see the same downside you are describing. The machines seem to
 be struggling to run that many instances. Midweek, or late at night,
 when most of the instances are empty, things are much better.

 FPS is pretty moot now with TF2. In fact that update made a big
 difference to the CPU required ime.

 I still wouldn't advise anyone to use a VPS if they either can afford
 not to and/or have a working option already and if they just want a
 TF2 server (as opposed to having a linux box on the internet that you
 can use for a number of things, including running TF2) But it's a
 fallacy to claim it doesn't work because you're sharing things - most
 of the cost-effective ways to run a TF2 server will share machine
 resources.

 The type of virtualisation (openvz, Xen PV etc) in use is probably
 key to your experience. My VPS uses Xen PV and other people using the
 machine doesn't impact it in the way some virt options can. I think
 there's a tendency for VPS purchasers to buy the cheapest option they
 can find and then jump ship the moment another cheaper offer appears
 (and then act peeved that it isn't like a dedicated server -  some of
 the people that buy VPS are certifiable). I think many VPS vendors
 basically cater to this solely price-focussed business model too.
 Giving the whole thing a far worse name than it deserves.

 I've run minecraft, TF2 and L4D 2 on it, and it works. If anything
 hlds works better because minecraft has ridiculous ram requirements.

 But, the price tiers VPS are sold on usually only specify ram, HD
 space and bandwidth - and these aren't really the issue for Tf2. They
 are quite trivial to get enough of (I don't think I've ever used 10%
 of the bandwidth I get allocated per month). CPU is less obvious in
 most VPS adverts. /proc/cpuinfo for my VPS suggests it has a 2.66ghz
 quadcore, but digging deep in my providers website I found supposedly
 the tier level I get gives me equiv of 1.2ghz. Probably not enough.
 Trouble is to raise that I'd end up with silly amounts of ram and HD
 space I wouldn't use (and a much bigger bill)

 So yeah, it's not perfect. But if you've got a VPS then running TF2
 on it does work and it's definitely a fallacy to say the cpu is
 shared, given that this is most likely going to be the case whatever
 other alternatives you have - at least similarly priced ones. We can't
 all afford one dedicated server per tf2 instance can we?

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

 I remember a trade map that had a pool with a ball laying around (as a

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

I have two trade servers that are constantly locking up, this started

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.

 Since last nights TF2 update, i updated my servers and one of them
 refuses to start (crashes on bootup). Oddly enough, the other TF2 server
 on the same machine runs fine without any issues.The install is
 basically identical on both, only maps and plugins vary.

 So first i removed plugins completely with no effect. Then I tried
 removing ClientRegistry.blob from user/.steam folder, tried -verify_all
 option but no luck. Removed install record, did not help. Then i tried
 fresh install, only to find out that it didn't work either. I have no
 idea how to fix it.

 No dumps are uploaded (fails) so if Fletcher or someone else wants to
 dig in, i'd be happy to upload those somewhere. Fresh install warns
 about core difference so i removed core file from /orangebox folder but
 it still didn't help.

 Anyone else in the same boat?

[hlds_linux] Server Freeze, 100% CPU.. possible exploit?

[Chris Oryschak]

My server just froze midgame with the 100% cpu bug.
I'm wondering if their is some kind of exploit out there that causes this.
Below is a snip from the console, take a look at the last line;

udeolph (8,502) got 7 points [-3] for killing {CABAL} Stabba (11,666);
rcon from x: command hlx_sm_psay 2054 1 -RB- Voodoo Moose got

I have my servers set to each run on their own core and the 100% cpu lockup
doesnt affect any other servers on the same box.

 I've also noticed an increase of cpu usage for idle servers. I think this
 happened long time ago but I just checked the cacti stats and saw a massive
 cpu usage without any players on a box with about 20 srcds servers.

You hit the nail on the head with your 'Additional blasphemous opinion sure

With respect:

I do not believe that the statement below regarding the updates/packets per
second is accurate.  The defaults for TF2 are not 66 packets per second.

The netgraph shows that your client is expecting about 20 packets per second
in, and it's getting 17.1 -- this is normal.  It also says that you are
supposed to be sending 30 packets per second, and you are sending 30.8 --
this is normal.

The netgraph picture looks pretty normal/healthy to me.  Those strange
spikes are spikes of activity/events, which is normal and healthy.  You will
see those during certain events, like players dying, spawning, things
exploding etc.  The upper graph area shows activity and the basic size of
the event data that you are getting.  The most common bad 
thing you might see in the upper graph area is gaps, which would be
reflected by choke or loss in the upper of the two lower green lines. 
The more activity and data received by your client, the larger the upper
graph area will be.  Your graph seems to indicate that there wasn't much
going on in the local area.

If you had a duplex problem you would be seeing loss towards either the
client or server.  It would probably be noticeable.  It's not a bad idea to
check though.

I've never had the problem myself, but I've read about others having a
similar issue since the RDTSC_FREQUENCY test was introduced.  Try what Ross
said.



Additional blasphemous opinion sure to cause butthurt and sniveling:

If you are not a network engineer, don't blame the network.  Us network
engineers call this Waaa the network because people (sysadmins, managers,
webmasters, DBAs) come to our desks at least once a week going
WAAA!!! THe network is broke!!!.  95% of the time, they end up
proving that they don't even know how to do their own job, nevermind how to
do mine.

People usually just blame the network because it's something they don't
understand, thus feel like they have no control over it.

 As you can see the trails from the nades are dotted. This normally 
 should be one straight line, everything is in slowmotion a bit.

 I have no clue what to do and maybe one had it before.

 It's a fresh install on a Hetzner box eq4 (core i7-920, 8gb ram, 2x 
 hdd) the only thing running on is 1 tf2 server so its doing pretty 
 much nothing.
 Running debian 6, tried installing version 5 too, tried Ubuntu too and 
 tried a 1000hz kernel (just for the fun of it) all the same issue, its 
 either slowmo or so slow it wont walk anymore at all.

 Did traceroutes, used mtr and that seems just fine. Connectivity is 
 fine, get 10mb/s with ftp. With net_graph 5 I cant see any strange spikes
in it.
 Had some other people take a look at it and still not known. Also did 
 a clean install and a complete copy from a server that is working for
Linux.
 (including not using any mods/replay)

 We have another eq4 same issue (this one is test) and we have a 
 current eq4 which works just normal (also debian)

 Here is the weird part, install windows on it and it works just fine! 
 And another weird one, install counter strike on it and that one works 
 fine too, its *only* tf2 that is giving this issue.

 Might be a big lap of text, but I am pretty clueless, any hints/tips 
 and I will follow them up, if you want to enjoy a slowmo action, you 
 can try to

Re: [hlds_linux] TF2 servers staying empty

[Chris Oryschak]

Maybe less people are using the matchmaking system since they've been
playing TF2 for a few weeks and using their favorites instead of quick play?
I've always found matchmaking to be flaky, sometimes it works instantly to
populate a server, other times it just won't bring anyone to the server,
even if it's half populated.

 I started hosting them about a week before the free-2-play stuff came 
 out. After that they were full almost all day for a couple a days, and 
 currently only one manages to get full.

 I was just wondering if that was normal, since ping's fine, no lag,

They're probably speaking about the intermittent freezes as a result of
having replays enabled, I know for a fact that enabling replays on my server
causes a second or so instance where the server just hiccups and stops.

Everyone notices it at the same time, we've been playing while on Mumble and
everyone speaks up about it at the same time, turning off replays fixes the

Re: [hlds_linux] New TF2 server installation - lag issues

[Chris Oryschak]

I've ran a server on Linode for a while till I had to upgrade due to their
bandwidth being rather expensive.
You can ask support to migrate you to a faster machine, I found their 2.5ghz
linodes (I'm pretty sure that's the fastest machines they had, at least in
their NY locations) can almost handle 32 players (Usually reaching 28+ I
noticed issues). 
Depending on map it can run smooth but if it's on hoodoo expect your FPS to
drop drastically and to experience slight lag.

I was on their 1536 plan specifically for their bandwidth but 600gigs isn't
enough for a popular 32man server.  When you move up to that costs and still
want a VPS I suggest NFOservers.com as that's who I'm with right now.
I've tried out other VPS solutions, Linode is the best in its class but
expect to experience slight lag on an active/full server.  Stay away from
ThrustVPS :)

Hi guys,

Just set up a new Linode 1024 plan to use as a TF2 server. Installed srcds
in Ubuntu 11.04 server, and it works, but there's some serious lag issues
that are causing players to complain and leave the server.

I set the server up following the directions outlined here:
http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Dedicated_server_configuration and
http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Linux_dedicated_server.

During gameplay, especially when the server is at its maximum of 24 slots,
CPU usage on one core is between 75-100%. Even if the CPU usage isn't maxed
out, however, the server will continue to sputter and lag for everyone.

Any ideas?

Re: [hlds_linux] New TF2 server installation - lag issues

The machines are powerful enough, but Linux srcds is a pig and requires a
lot more resources vs windows.
I looked though my previous support tickets with linode, the machine I was
on was a 

Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU   L5420  @ 2.50GHz

Which had just enough power for Linux srcds, with some 'hiccups'.
Get ahold of support and see what they can do for you.

Yes - being virtualized shouldn't be an issue (in my eyes). Linode VPSes are
quite powerful and srcds should be smooth as butter. I've found disabling
replay reduces the lag issue somewhat but it's still there.

I've tried tinkering with rates and such and nothing makes a difference -
I'm currently using:

*// Rate Settings //*
*
*
*// Frame rate limiter*
*fps_max 600*
*
*
*// Min bandwidth rate allowed on server, 0 == unlimited* *sv_minrate 0*
*
*
*// Max bandwidth rate allowed on server, 0 == unlimited* *sv_maxrate 2*
*
*
*// Minimum updates per second that the server will allow* *sv_minupdaterate
10*
*
*
*// Maximum updates per second that the server will allow* *sv_maxupdaterate
66*
*
*
I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or there's an issue with srcds at
the moment. I haven't worked with Source servers in a long time, so my
memory is mostly haze.

Re: [hlds_linux] Empty TF2 server cycle through mapcycle

[Chris Oryschak]

Hi,
I use RandomCycle+ sourcemod plugin
(http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=784482)
Which does tiered map lists based on player count/time of day. 
 It also has the option to make a idle tier where you can specify which
maps to cycle though when the server is empty along with a time limit where
the server is inactive it will automatically change the map.

Subject: [hlds_linux] Empty TF2 server cycle through mapcycle

Hi,

Does anyone know a way to make TF2 cycle through its mapcycle when its
empty, without setting the cvar to obey timelimits  (which will make the map
change instantly midround when the timelimit is reached)? Currently the
server will just stick to the map on whatever it went empty on, until people
start joining again and the map timers restart.

I've been looking through the cvar list but couldn't find anything useful
there. Neither could I find anything useful on the sourcemod forums.

Saint K.

[hlds_linux] Lag/Stutter/Gap in net_graph 4

[Chris Oryschak]

What would cause a blank gap in net_graph 4 like this:

http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/818/netgraphgap.jpg/

 

It's happening to everyone on the server, causing players to stutter with
this temporary gap.

 

The server is a Xeon X5675  @ 3.07GHz, 2gigs ram, running Ubuntu 10.10

Server is 32 players.

 

This just started happening recently (end of may to now).  

I thought it might have been something on the server, I recently reinstalled
the OS and SRCDS.  Still occurs with no addons installed.  Replay is
disabled.

Any ideas or suggestions?

You have a X5675 with only 2gb ram? If you are on a vps your host is
probably stuffing the node.
