[hlds_linux] Servers not showing in steamlist
Hi Guys Seem to be having a problem getting any of my source or 1.6 servers to show in the steam browser list. Have sv_region 3 in the server.cfg (europe) but yet i cant see any in the steam list.

Re: [hlds_linux] socket 939 Opteron - bit of Linux Performance
Valtteri Kiviniemi wrote: Hi My experience is that, if you run 64bit OS and 32bit binary, the operating system will emulate the program, and it decreases performance and consumes more CPU. I have AMD64 debian installations, and if I run hlds_amd binary (the 32bit one) the server FPS is only ~200-300 and it consumes ~3-5% CPU at IDLE, and with 10 players about 20%... With the outdated hlds_amd64 binary the FPS is constantly 500 and the server consumes about ~5-8% CPU with 10 players. I suggest that if you want to run the updated 32bit binary, you're better have pure 32bit OS. The outdated hlds_amd64 binary is IMO better and the hitreg is perfect. I don't care how outdated it is, becauce the fact is that it performs much better than the 32bit installation, and consumes less CPU. I'll update to the 32bit installation only when the 64bit binary wont work anymore. REMEMBER: don't fix it if it ain't broken.. The idle CPU usage is not really a good benchmark. This is more a display of how much overhead the kernel interrupt has. For example you could very well have a 1000hz 32 bit kernel and a 250hz 64bit kernel. The 250hz kernel will use much less cpu usage at idle as it is doing 4 times less interrupt requests. (possibly 500hz kernel as you have suggested a 500fps max on your game server). This could also be effected by VAC2 as you are running VAC1 or insecure on the 64bit version. While like you i am very dis-heartened by valves lack of 64bit support (after purchasing 60+ 64bit AMD CPU's do to the performance increase) however i think you MAY be comparing apples with oranges. Also remember that Vac2 (Which i believe runs in a seperate thread) may be using some of those interrupts (effecting your fps and cpu usage). To get your tests more accurate both kernels should be compiled with as similar config as possible, hardware should be exactly the same and both game servers should run without VAC. (-insecure in the command line). It may also be something to do with the c++ libraries and the gettimeofday() procedure taking less time (More efficient in the kernel) to run on 64bit. This is used a lot in HLDS/SRCDS and is the reason your server will crash should you do an NTP update or change the time on the box. What is more worrying to me is that it seems valves programming toolset is fast becoming more restrictive to us to which point they could end up dropping Linux all together. It seems at first their compiler is unable to compile Linux with 64bit and now the Linux binaries are fast becoming vastly inefficient in comparison to their windows counterparts. This could be due to the work load involved in recoding and maintaining parts of the program specifically for Linux (which may not be financially possible). Keeping both binaries running different branches could mean different bugs and 3 times as much work. Whatever the reason VAC2 and SRCDS are by far more efficient on windows and if the current trend continues we will see a death of the Linux version within a year or two. Possibly the funniest part of this saga is the AMD64 logo on the http://half-life2.com/ website and the http://amd64downloads.filecloud.com/hl2.asp site. I am not trying to flame valve. They consistently support their products for years after release and are always helping the community. I love to play their games and have the utmost respect for their software and staff. What I am trying to highlight is that its been a downhill run for the Linux distro for at least the last 3 years and i cannot see it changing. Did Valve change compilers in late 2004 early 2005? Was it related to the Source release? Most importantly, Are there any plans to stop this getting any worse?

Re: [hlds_linux] srcds performance
From the details stated in the EULA this is most certainly not the case. I assume you are referring to the connection limitation clauses but these explicitly state services they cover, game servers not being one of them. Steve Hi Steve I have spoken directly to Microsoft. They have confirmed I am not allowed to sell / rent game servers running on Windows XP, neither should I rent dedicated boxes with XP as the host software. The 10 connection limit was a factor but also they highlighted the following part of the EULA. "You may not rent, lease, lend or provide commercial hosting services to third parties with the Product." All of the information provided to me currently is saying that companies providing hosting (including game servers) on Windows XP are breeching the EULA and are therefore doing so without license. If someone else has some other information or has been told otherwise by MS please let me know. I have been thinking of setting up a few boxes with WinXP to test source on but this is stopping me. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux

[hlds_linux] [Question to Valve] High system load with CS Source server
Back in the CS Betas, I could run a 16 player server on a AMD k6. Try running 1.6 on that now. It's nothing new, it royally sucks but unfortunately that's how the cookie crumbles for a variety of reasons. Some of them you can point at valve for, but not all of them. -- Erik Hollensbe [EMAIL PROTECTED] There has been an increasing utilization difference between SRCDS Windows and SRCDS Linux. I think the reason is due to Valve using the MS Visual C++ to code the engine (but i'm not sure). Personally i think this should be one of Valve's top issues because currently it is seriously effecting the amount of servers being run and the price of the servers. Providers will have to continually put prices up as the SRCDS Linux performance slides. This needs to be addressed ASAP as the online community is suffering. As an example, I moved a customers servers from a Windows installation to a Linux installation, the hardware stayed the same. Windows the customer was able to run 1 x 40 man server and 1 x 100 tick 12 man server with 1 slot SrcTV. Linux the customer struggled to run 1 x 32 man server (standard Fedora 4/5 with 1000hz kernel). The CPU is a AMD 3700 and has 1gig of DDR Memory. An AMD64 3500 will now not run 2 x 100 tick servers on Linux. Not being able to run 2 match servers on a 3500 is a little bit wrong surely? There are pro's and con's for running on each platform with many hoster's preferring Linux as their core OS. Windows 2003 server is too expensive and to host services on windows XP is illegal. We run console only stripped down versions of Fedora and see performance gains in all other games over the windows platform. Valve can you let us know why the performance is so different on the different platforms and is there any chance of it being looked into? I for one would be very happy to help beta test if required.

Re: [hlds_linux] Weapon buying limit per user

I agree with all of the rest, especially all about peformance when full (what I was trying to say in a roundabout way). If the kernel was indeed running at a lower freq. then you would see less CPU usage as higher fps kernels use an extra 2%-5% just on the extra overhead let alone the fact the server is doing more to get the higher fps. I recently moved a customers AMD64 3200 from windows to Linux. Previously they had a 40 man server. We found as soon as it got over 30 players it would now start to lag. We upgraded their processor to a AMD3700 but the box could still not run their server properly and they have dropped it to 32 players. It is glaringly obvious that the Linux code needs to be looked at and possibly optimized. I remember when 1.6 used to be so much better on Linux than windows and there is no reason that i can think of that this should not be the same today. Linux servers can be optimized to run only the valve code and don't need to load extra resources that will not be used. Can someone at Valve look into this for us Alfred as it will mean that we can run more game servers which is certainly in valves interest. I would also like to point out that I believe it is illegal according to MS XP EULA to host Game Servers on Windows XP. While i'm sure its not really a problem for people running their own box but those big companies running hundreds of servers on Windows XP should buy windows server versions. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux

[hlds_linux] srcds, Problems still
Hi We are still experiencing very strange issues with SRCDS. Sometimes when stopping and starting a server the server comes back with a 2000 ping and with 99.9% cpu usage. We are getting this on all of our Linux servers. We are running Fedora core 4 and 5 and have a mix of x64 and i386 versions. (all on AMD CPU's).

I seem to be able to clear the problem by completely rebooting the box but this isn't an ideal situation as a customer may need to restart their server while another server on the box is being used.

Re: [hlds_linux] VAC2 implementation for 64-bit binaries, status?
I and many other GSP's made a commitment to AMD 64bit architecture based on the performance gains in running Valve based Dedicated servers in 64bit mode. The withdrawl of native 64bit compatibility for all servers wishing to use VAC2 has left us out in the cold and sending us a clear message that Valve no longer support the AMD64 platform. I think possibly we are speaking to the wrong end of the horse. I'm sure we (The GSP community) could gain a much better response by speaking to AMD. It would seem AMD and Valve are partners and it would not look very good if published that Valve have withdrawn the support for there dedicated servers to use the latest AMD64 technology 10 months ago thus leaving AMD customers to run in 32bit mode at a 30% drop in performance. http://half-life2.com/ (AMD64 Logo at the bottom) http://amd64downloads.filecloud.com/hl2.asp (Outlining Valve client software runs 64bit) Valve lead the world in post release support when it comes to on-line games. The updates and system used to deliver them are both excellent. I admire valve for there commitment to their customers and their willingness to support games even after more recent releases. However Vac2 was Beta released May 06 2005 meaning we have been waiting 10 months for 64bit compatibility with no sign of it coming anytime soon. You could argue there is a greater benefit in enabling the server software to run 64bit over enabling the the client software to run 64bit. Far Far more people will benefit from improved quality of there online play and if the "30% better" figure is to be believed either a larger server or a cheaper server would be possible.

[hlds_linux] 64Bits of Vac2
Yes this Vac2 issue not running on 64bit is very important to a lot of us, many of us have purchased AMD64 / Opteron CPU's specifically to run HLDS-64bit in an attempt to squze as much performance as possible. There is a definate performance gain and rolling 200 servers back to 32 bit will take best part of a day and leave customers not very happy. It has left a large quantity of players running vac1 or insecure, people renting servers are unsure on exactly what to Does anyone have any estimates on a release date for vac2-64bit. An approximate date will allow us to work out if it is gonna be worth while rolling all of our servers back or if we hang on and wait for the release (if there is to be one?).

[hlds_linux] Any plans for hitbox modification? Gameplay issues Slighly OT
Hi, My views on hitbox and spraying / accuracy Source improvements are coming thick and fast and it is fast becoming much more playable (hence more enjoyable). I am justs wondering if there are plans to fix the hitbox / bullet reg and other gameplay issues? Most of the players coming from CS1.6 and previous are struggling with issues relating to spraying and dissappearing bullets. In all games the player needs to feel they are accomplishing something to keep them interested. In 1.6 there are loads but in Source i feel more is needed. The ability to spray accurately and the required crouch for better accuracy was a learning curve for gamers, a skill to aquire and develop. Typically spraying in CSS doesnt work, it is harder to kill someone without getting a headshot than it is with. Surely this is incorrect. A headshot is / was the most difficult shot in the game but now it is all i get! Body shots just dont work and AK spray is impossible. These faults take away the skill factor that keeps players playing CS. Source is said to be a lot faster than CS1.6 and i think this is because players dont need to stop running. You can now run around continually shooting where as before (1.6) you would stop and crouch to make sure you got the kill while controlling your spray. Footsteps are hardly audible giving players no reason to play a more tactical game. There are major competitions and some real kudos for the players who are "skilled" enough to compete at a professional level. I think players will struggle to constantly perform well when there is so much random-ness. Clan A might win this match because on the day the bullet reg was better but clan B might win the next because they got lucky with reg. Luck not skill seems to be the key. Also how many spectators like to watch fast paced quake style games against how many like to watch players tactically out play each other on CS? Again it comes down to a different type of skill. My key gameplay issues with source. 1. Hitboxes or bullet reg needs modifying to make body shots easier and headshots harder. 2. Reg from the rear seems well out and it is very difficult to shoot players who have there backs to you. 3. Accuracy when running needs to be toned down to encourage a more tactical game. 4. Footsteps need to be slightly lowder. Currently players are almost in-audible when running. Encourage walking, "Stealth" (Major gameplay issue) 5. The awp is awesome weapon in source but i think this is largly down to the poor performance of AK / Colt body shots and spraying. 6. Air Control and zippier movement is required (very slightly). slighly more acceleration maybe and better jumping. Feel like im dragging a ball and chain around with me when playing. What do people think about these? Anyone else feel the same way?

Yes there are things that could be improved upon, but show me a game on the store shelves that couldnt. There are alot of guys who did play the old CS and love CS:S. We have several in our clan who were playing the old CS since it was first release. I installed it through steam the other day just to make my own comparison and I dont know how you guys play it. Its slow and cludgy to me, but thats my opinion. The hitboxes in game are not just head and body, believe me. Come into one of our servers and I will make you cry with how many times I will kill you shooting you in the legs, feet and hands. Rather than bashing the game, how about offering suggestions on ways to improve it. Just my thoughts, WarGod. You clearly have no idea what your on about. How can you make comparisons to 1.6 if you have not really played it. How many of these few people in your clan play in competitions or even in skilled clan wars. Have you ever seen CPL demos or how CS is played by those millions of people who do play it competetively. Ill come on your server and you will show me. If you have not played CS1.6 properly how can you show me how the hit boxes differ. Yes there is a clear difference. There is NO reg compared to CS. Is this the legendary 300 man server that is run by the best server admin in the world? Legend in your own boxer shorts sunny. Comment on the bullet reg when you have some experience. Not 6 months pubby bashing against noobs, kicking anyone skilled enough to beat you. If you could be bothered to read my post you would see it listed basically the ingredients required to sort it out. I wasnt bashing the game that exists i was upset it was sold as CS2 which it most definatly was not (YET). The next Online Multiplayer game (Such as COD, BF1942 etc) will wipe it out. (Which is where most of the source players have come from AND will go). I am concerned about the biggest Online Gaming comunity in the world (Counterstrike 1.6 players with no where to go and no cheat detection to keep em honest). I cant see there being 5 people watching two clans fight it out on source that is for damn sure.

[hlds_linux] Funny April Fools, Valve Sense of humour
Hee Hee, I laughed at it but then thought about it. CSS is a joke. As a game in its own right it fails im sad to say. Compare it against so many other OMG's that all offer the same thing only better. I think someone has forgotten one of the key features of what made counterstrike Sooo good. PLAYABILITY. There are more serious flaws with CSS that stop the playability ever reaching the accepted benchmarks set by CS and CoD etc than i can count on my fingers and toes. Valve havent made CS 2, they have made a game that will be forgotten as soon as the next big Online Multi-player game comes out. Ok so lots of people have purchased it but how many compared to HL1 off the back of CS? Do you think these people will buy CS3? How many would take there money back given the chance? I know more people who refuse to play it than people who will. (All 1.3-1.6 players of varying skill) The netcode is diabolical. I mean really really bad. Its not a problem if you are new to the game or dont play often but its when you are semi-skilled that you realize that you cant play the game seriously. There seens to be 2 hitboxes, Head and body. If you dont get the head then its a full clip to the body and they die if your lucky. (This is from the same company that codes CS, some of the best netcode around). So this rules out competive play, clan matches, etc. Maps, Dust2 - Most played map on CS and what happens, Its changed, some of the most vital parts of the map are ruined. Inferno, why make inferno when you can re-make one of the worst maps created for CZ, tides. Could have redone de_truth as the new nuke (good for wall banging), Sienna as a fast paced map for smaller servers, Inferno as the second most played map. The models run really crooked (side step for example). Just looks wrong. Barrels and other useless objects are now obstacles that ruin the game. Ask anyone who has played for a few days and they will agree, complete waste of time. As soon as you bump into one your goosed, sometimes even get stuck on some. A flag to dissable these would be probably the best option. Recoil / Tracer, In CS, DOD and other mods you can see where you bullets go and adjust accordingly. With CSS its a lottery and "spraying" is no longer controllable. Walls and Structures now seem "Bullet Proof". One of the best parts of CS is being able to shoot someone through cover and can lead to some intense moments of sparyage with 2 people Screaming over comms "Face Off" style (A great movie btw). There is this great interest in VAC2 but tbh i couldnt care less about it. Cheaters arent the real problem, CSS is. If you would put the maps and netcode from CS into CSS, you might be on to a winner, is this likely to happen? CSS has got to be the most purchased non-played game of the year / decade. I know so many people who brought it with all there hopes and dreams of Counterstrike with good graphics. This is not a slander on the hard work that took to make CSS, it looks amazing and non 1.6 players will probably like until the next new game. This is more an upset customer who new it could have been so so much more. It is not what it is, it is what it could have been, what is possible and what valve are capable of.

Sorry about my 'stfu' post Scott, I just got done reading another one of his emails to me basically begging me to sue him. I traced his IP back to a cox.net acct. His domain name is registered with a fake phone #. Most likely a fake address, but the name is real. His website is traced back to http://www.zingservers.com/ a nonexistent website altho the name was registered there is no content there. And he uses a hotmail acct for his contact page on his website. lol -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of InspectorGifts Sent: Friday, December 10, 2004 1:41 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [hlds_linux] flynngaming.com ? wtf - watch out for this guy on your forums. Actually I appreciate that post, as it does pertain to us linux operators that run a business of renting servers. It's a heads up e-mail. I wouldn't class it as many of the other Non- linux list issues. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Scott Pettit Sent: Thursday, December 09, 2004 10:09 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] flynngaming.com ? wtf - watch out for this guy on your forums.
