RE: [hlds_linux] hlds update? Could not establish connection to Steam servers.

[Saint K.]

If the hardcoded and new IP's are known, you could apply destination NAT on the 
local machine to work around this issue.

Sorry I haven't looked at this list in a while (hopefully you already found the 
answer!)... Windows uses the steamclient that's installed, whereas on Linux it 
uses the steamclient that's shipped with the game (Windows does too - if Steam 
is not installed). So if the game has an old version of steamclient, you'll get 
stuck with situations like this. The Ship for instance had the Steam Masters 
(Mains? in 2020) hard coded into the binary and were eventually orphaned like 
this. I know years ago Qwest was trying to take back their address space from 
Valve and Aldred flipped addresses on us which broke a shit ton of games - if 
there's a hard coded address against this it's possible you were impacted when 
they made a trivial (to them) move.

Were you able to resolve it natively? I might not be able to help, but CC me so 
it lands in my inbox and I can try to.

Best,
Kyle.

Sorry to see you go. Though the writing was on the wall as more anti-community 
changes were released over the years.

But has anyone been able to get any sort of response from the devs or are they 
ignoring absolutely everyone now? Is this a new policy from Gabe Newell not to 
reply to anyone in the public or just us? We've had people send them 
information about the compression exploit a week before hackers started using 
it to crash casual servers everywhere.
And now our reports of servers using fake players for months are being ignored.

Does anyone know if fake player spoofing is being enforced anymore? Is it being 
enforced in CS:GO?

Is there any way to get any sort of response other than being on the front page 
of Reddit?

A simple "yes it will be dealt with we just haven't had the time yet"
would be helpful. Or even a "no we don't care anymore" would both help clean up 
their inboxes and save us time and effort trying to reach them.

For anyone who's interested I found the solution to this problem, as bizarre as 
it may be...

If you're running a single-core server, VAC does not connect. Migrating to a 
dual-core or higher cloud instance resolved the issue.

I confirmed that by again rebuilding the server, confirming the issue on a 
single-core VPS, and then confirming that migrating to a dual-core one fixed it 
again (Using OpenStack/KVM as the hypervisor). I also confirmed the same thing 
locally (using VirtualBox).

Literally everything else worked fine though. VAC is weird...

Subject: [hlds_linux] Major Exploit - Anycast Fake Ping Spoofing

Have you noticed your favorite server dying recently? This new exploit may be 
to blame.

By using anycast routing, one can setup servers around the world to respond to 
pings immediately and forwarding any other packets to the real server with 
software like this https://gitlab.com/Dreae/compressor/

Your server will show up as having 10 ms of ping on every continent but inside 
the game players will still have 100-200 ping as game packets can't be cached.

However, any server using this exploit will still explode to the top of the top 
server list. As you can see here, the servers using this exploit shot up to #50 
and #5 in less than a month.

https://cache.gametracker.com/server_info/92.119.148.13:28015
https://cache.gametracker.com/server_info/92.119.148.19:27015

This practice originated in Garry's Mod over a year ago from gmchosting, and 
has now finally arrived in CS:GO and TF2 through GFL, though there might be 
other communities using this exploit that I may not have not tracked down.

Valve needs to deal with this as soon as possible. It is already killing 
servers that aren't using it and tricking players into joining servers with bad 
ping.

Re: [hlds_linux] Mildy confused

[Saint K.]

The odd thing is, I have both parameters configured, yet it keeps showing "not 
logged in", but apparently something does login as epi can see on the API

I have the information included in a file that gets ran by +servercfg flag, 
also tried autoexec.cfg and directly on the commandline, no differences there, 
server keeps showing that not logged in message...

Can't for the life of me figure out why.

I did not remove the tf_server_identity_account_id or tf_server_identity_token

steamid : [G:1:4424] (85568392920043848)

Based on our different results, it would seem that these vars still do

Thanks for your reply.

If you type "status" at your server, what does it show? I tried setting 
sv_setsteamacocunt at multiple places, but it keeps returning this;

 steamid : [G:1:1870] (85568392920041294)

The not logged in message confuses me.

[hlds_linux] Mildy confused

[Saint K.]

Hey guys,

I am mildly confused on what should be configured these days for the system 
that used to be named "quickplay".

Does this still apply?

Remember, for now you will need to login to both your Steam gameserver account 
and also your TF account. The two accounts are not related. The TF account is 
the one that determines quickplay eligibility, and the Steam one does favorites 
migration. Eventually we will remove the TF accounts and only use Steam 
gameserver accounts.

Do I both need to set tf_server_identity_account_id and sv_setsteamaccount, or 
should sv_setsteamaccount be enough? 

I tried to find the updated wiki on this but I seem to be unsuccessful.

Re: [hlds_linux] Mandatory TF2 update released

[Saint K.]

Any chance we can get a player count back at the scoreboard? It's a bit 
annoying that on servers with a higher than 24 slot count you cannot workout 
anymore how many people are in a team.

Weapons Case. Have you been Naughty or Nice?

transferred and zeroed if a matching Strange part is found.  Can only be used 
between Strange items of the same base type.

to utilize the old behavior
- Fixed the Spy-cicle not melting properly if the Spy is burned while stunned
- Added an option in Adv. Options to batch overhead combat text

Performance Improvements
- Mac and Linux improvements (Windows Direct3D 9 players have these already)
- Texture streaming now enabled
- Reduced memory consumption by ~500 megs
- Faster map loads!
- Players on Mac can now select 'High' texture settings
- Eliminated many cases of hitching when using painted weapons
- Eliminated occasional hitching caused by using mat_picmip 2 (or selecting low 
quality textures in Video Options -> Advanced)
- Massively reduced memory consumption when using painted weapons
- Improved particle system performance, boosting overall framerate, especially 
in particle-heavy situations.
- Fixed two most common forms of framerate stuttering / hitching when using 
popular FPS configs
- Added -default launch option to help players triage performance / stability 
problems.
- When run with -default, the game will ignore most convar settings and 
run purely with default options
- Upon exit, -default runs do not overwrite the player's config.cfg 
file. If a player wants to save the settings of a default run, they should 
execute host_writeconfig  in the console.
- Fixed 5 second stall when opening options menu
- VR players: You must now pass -vr to launch options to play TF using VR
- Fixed multiple

pull random (old) messages from the HLDS archives and reply to those directly

Hi
Im running several servers with debian 6 and noticed that it takes looong time 
before the tf2 servers now are ready and starts to listen on its game-port.
This is only on one machine, the other are working as they use to .. i think.
Can it be some updated software that I missed ?

[hlds_linux] invalid SSL cert for cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com

[Saint K.]

Hi,

I know this hasn't anything to do with HLDS, however, I thought I'd give it a 
shot anyway.

We've recently made all our website HTTPS (SSL) only. As we have a bit of steam 
integration we also started linking to the steam resources at HTTPS as we load 
some steam stuff in user profiles.

Now we noticed that content which we get from "cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com" is 
served with an invalid SSL certificate. This causes an issue as it won't load 
the content.
An alternative is to load the external content over HTTP, however, then most 
browsers will complain that part of the website isn't secured.

Currently we're looking at caching the content locally on our webserver, and 
then present it from there. However, I think it would suit VALVe if they'd 
replace the certificate by a cert signed by a proper CA.

Cheers,

Saint K.

Re: [hlds_linux] FoF issue

[Saint K.]

Hi David,
I used the same config files on  both servers with one exception, and that's 
the hostname.
To be sure I copied the entire cfg directory to the other server and tried it 
again, with no success.
In the end I decided to reinstall the entire server, which somehow has fixed 
the problem.
No idea where the root cause has been, but it's solved now.
Thanks anyhow for the suggestions!
Cheers,
Saint K.

David Parker , 6/16/2014 8:50 PM:
Hi Saint K, 
 
Do you perhaps have different server configs on these servers?  On my FoF 
server, sv_pure and sv_pure_kick_clients were both set to "1" in the 
default server.cfg file.  I had to comment them out in the config and 
specify them as "+sv_pure 1 +sv_pure_kick_clients 1" on the SRCDS command 
line in order to get the server to start. 
 
sv_client_interpolate is also set to "1" in the default server.cfg and I 
did not change that, but it doesn't seem to be causing any problems for me.

[hlds_linux] FoF issue

[Saint K.]

Hi,

I have an issues on one of our FoF servers after the last update. It keeps 
spamming the logs below. It constantly creates a log file and then it closes it 
again, and repeats that until the end of days and it refuses to boot.

Another server is working without issues.

Anyone have any idea how to fix this? I am not sure where the sv_pure mode 
message comes from. Sv_pure is not specified in any cfg file.

Cheers,

Saint K.

Re: [hlds_linux] Need more dedicated server for "Fistful-of-Frags" (FoF)!

[Saint K.]

Does anyone have a solution for adding a hidden reserved slot without having to 
go to a max of 19 visible slots?

The cBase and connect extentions from sourcemod don't seem to work on FoF and 
the engine locks at 20 players.

Cheers,

Saint K.

Re: [hlds_linux] Game Server Accounts with multiple servers

[Saint K.]

Afaik clients only sync their favo data with the id's once every 12 or 24 hours.


pilger , 20/3/2014 2:26 PM:
Hey guys, 
 
 
I have some doubts. 
 
Picture this scenario: 
 
   1. I have one server running fine for a couple of months under the same 
   IP:PORT; 
   2. I go and create a gamesever account and link it to the current server 
   sucessfully in a manner that it shows the ID when I send the status command; 
   3. All my players should have their favorite linked to my gameserver 
   account now; 
   4. I take down the server; 
   5. I run another server, on another IP:PORT, with the same 
   sv_setsteamaccount token as the previous one; 
   6. Now all the players should have their favorite updated to the new 
   IP:PORT; 
 
Is that correct? Cause it didn't quite work for all my players. At least 
it's been a day and most still don't see the new server on their favorites. 
 
How does the new game server account favorite migration works with multiple 
servers under the same account? How should I proceed towards this? 
 
Is that sv_setsteamaccount token unique to a specific server? Is there a 
"place" where we can check which server is associated to which id? Should I 
make another account for each server I own? 
 
Thanks in advance.

Re: [hlds_linux] Max Players on this build

[Saint K.]

Running gameservers on today's virtualization is no problem whatsoever. It all 
depends on the amount of resources you assign to a VM.

Yes virtualized. I'm aware it isn't the best choice but it's all I have 
avaliable right now. So if you have a problem with running virtualized servers, 
you could simply ignore the thread and spare the "0 players"
answers.

RAM doesn't appear to be a problem at all, since I ran some tests and it was 
never too high. I'm believing the CPU would be the chokepoint, since I was 
actually aiming to get a single server with the most slots I could get rather 
than a couple of small ones. The game would be TF2, by the way.

The server itself doesn't have many custom content apart from sourcemod plugins 
and the fastdownload server is set elsewhere.

Is there a, somewhat, direct relation between player slots and CPU processing 
in terms of Mhz?

Re: [hlds_linux] [hlds] Important changes to TF2 coming soon

Oh, I see.

Thanks. Initially I added the same token to all the servers. Makes sense you 
need one per server :)

Yes!  The token is essentially login credentials (combination account and 
password).  If you use the same token, you are asking all the servers to login 
to the same account.  But only one server can be on an account at a time.

You’ll need one token per server.  The logon only accepts the token, so the 
token serves as account+password.

CHANGES TO QUICKPLAY
---

The next TF2 update will make two changes to quickplay:

* "Show servers" button.  This runs the ordinary quickplay search, but instead 
of joining the server with the highest score, it presents the user with an 
ordered list of about 20 servers and lets them pick.  This gives players much 
of the convenience of quickplay by finding servers with a good ping and players 
on them, but also an easy way to express a preference over the map, server 
community, etc.
* We've added an advanced options page that allows players to opt into the most 
commonly-requested non-vanilla rules changes: nocrits, maxplayers, and instant 
respawn.

There are no more scoring penalties for maxplayers or rule changes; your server 
either matches their search criteria or it doesn't.

At this time, we are keeping the default quickplay option to Valve servers.  
However, note that if a player wants to find a server with any of the supported 
modifications, then they must land on a community server, since Valve servers 
do not run with these settings.

We've updated the quickplay policy to more clearly specify what sorts of server 
modifications are allowed in quickplay:
https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2825-AFGJ-3513

STEAM GAMESERVER ACCOUNTS
-

Gameserver accounts are now a Steam feature.  The feature is currently in beta.

Using a steam gameserver account provides one important advantage right now: 
client favorite lists are keyed by the Steam account if present.  This means 
that you can move your server to another IP address, and clients who have your 
server in their favorites or history will follow you to your new location.

CREATING AN ACCOUNT:

Creating an account is currently only possible via WebAPI.  (Remember, this 
feature is currently in beta.  We'll add a nicer interface for this soon.)  
Make a HTTPS POST request to the following URL:
https://api.steampowered.com/IGameServersService/CreateAccount/v0001/

The POST arguments should be:
  appid=440 (for Team Fortress)
  key=

 is the WebAPI key associated with the user account that will 
own the server account

I've tested all of our MVM servers, on none of them canteens are working.

You can equip them, you can buy stuff, just can't activate them for usage.

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

Out of interest, why are there so much VALVe servers online?

What have we done so wrong the past decades that we've hosted servers that 
VALVe now "hijacks" all player traffic?

Never run any bots, all of my servers were full yesterday and are completely 
dead last night until now.
Only change was the update.
One of the servers wasn't registered until this event (converted it from a 
custom server temporarily just to get a 24/7 helltower server for the week), so 
it was a brand new ID.

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

[Saint K.]

Our servers kept filling up until this morning crashes again (EU time).

After it they've pretty much been empty. Guessing we went on the negative side 
of the quickplay score because of all the full server crashing.

Ah well... :)

You can block users from using this taunt - 
http://forums.alliedmods.net/showpost.php?p=2054420&postcount=5 - this will 
kill players that equip high five taunt and warn them in chat until they will 
change action slot item. But I think Valve will fix this in ~5 hours.

The closest we can come to reproducing this is having a very long stalemate

Re: [hlds_linux] incorrect playercount MVM servers

[Saint K .]

Sorry. I thought I had disabled SM to test if it was still of an issue, 
however, apparently I hadn't.

Ignore the message, it's an issue with SM or a plugin/extention.

[hlds_linux] incorrect playercount MVM servers

[Saint K .]

Hi,

>From a few updates back (somewhere like 2 months ago) we have a problem at our 
>MVM servers that it reports the wrong player count.

This happened when players are present at the server during a mapchange. If 
there are 4 out of 6 players active during the mapchange, the server will show 
0/6 after the mapchange. If 2 more players join (and thus making the server 
full), it shows 2/6, and so on.

Is anyone here experiencing the same issue, or have any idea how to fix this?

The player count is incorrectly shown in the steam browser, HLSW and if we 
manually query the server.

If you do "status" on the server the player count is incorrect as well, however 
you do see al the players and their steamid's listed.

Cheers,

Saint K.

[hlds_linux] Weird playercount issue MVM servers

[Saint K .]

Hi,

Wondering if anyone here has the same issue.

After an update a few weeks back we're stuck with the following bug. Whenever 
MVM changes maps and players are present, the server counts the present player 
as bots, and thus is showing an incorrect player count. If 5 people go trough 
the mapchange it will show 0/6, if a person joins after the mapchange it shows 
1/6 while the server is actually full.

Cheers,

Saint K.

Re: [hlds_linux] MvM server lock or.. some problem

[Saint K .]

Thanks, I'll give that a go.

Never had to create any mapcycles for MvM so I was a bit surprised by what it 
was doing.

edit your maplist.txt, mapcycle files and remove everything and add this
maps instead:

mvm_bigrock
mvm_coaltown
mvm_decoy
mvm_mannworks

restart server

Good Luck !

Re: [hlds_linux] MvM server lock or.. some problem

I applied the command "mp_mapcycle_empty_timeout_seconds" to my cfg, but now 
it's randomly causing the server to switch to normal maps, rather than 
switching to mbm maps.

If a mapchange fixes the issue you might want to consider putting
mp_mapcycle_empty_timeout_seconds in your config file. It specifies
the maximum number of seconds the server can be empty, so without
players on it (and bots don't count) before the server will
automatically change the map. I've been using this for a while now and
have never run into the issue described here.

I suspect the reason that it was first noticed on Wave 666 is because
it's a long grind, so there's a bigger chance at bots getting stuck
somewhere and start eating up extra slots.

[hlds_linux] Query steam

[Saint K .]

Hi,

I realize that this probably doesn't belong on this list, but I am not sure 
where else it would go.

We're looking for a way to query the steam servers for the latest version of 
game servers so we can determine if a server (non TF2 or anything) requires an 
update (for game servers without auto update features).

Does anyone know if such thing exist, and could point me to any documentation?

Re: [hlds_linux] [HLDS_LINUX] Mandatory TF2 update released

[Saint K .]

Part of my daily job is migrating current networks to IPv6, so I can confirm 
like mart-jan that at this side of the world IPv6 is very much alive.

All our servers are IPv6 enabled as well, so are a lot of our ISP lines.

IPv6 is coming, and there is no stopping it. We can barely get our hands at 
free IPv4 subnets anymore.

Heh, here in NL you can order fiber connection from one ISP, which delivers 
default with ONLY IPv6, you have to order IPv4 addresses separately for it. A 
number of ISP's already have support for both IPv4 and IPv6 fully functional.

But IPv4 will be around for a long time :S wouldn't surprise me if its still 
around in 50 years. (yet marginally I hope) after ppl working for over 20 years 
of getting IPv6 everywhere, its sad that these upgrades aren't done faster.

Subject: [hlds_linux] Question Regarding SteamCMD and TF2's QuickPlay

I currently have a TF2 dedicated server up and running, but I don't have
the "tf_server_identity_account_id" set for it to fully utilise QuickPlay.

Unfortunely, I don't have TF2 installed on my laptop (This is a work
laptop) and I mainly check on my server while things are quiet, but I want
to be able to set the QuickPlay up on the server without having to download
Steam and then download TF2 and then launch it to get a simple key that
COULD be given through SteamCMD.

My idea for this is, a user could get their "tf_server_identity_account_id"
from SteamCMD but they have to log into their Steam account (So, the
"anonymous" account won't work for this, since the key binds to the
account) and then the user should have the ability to copy and paste the
output of the command into their TF2 configs.

Do you think this could be possible to implement? Thank you in advance :)

I am not aware of doing that.

How does one disable the motd on a client?

Hi,

I have +motdfile motd_server1.txt specified in the command line (the file is 
located in the cfg dir), but somehow its using the motd_text_default.txt file 
(not sure when that one got introduced).

Do I need to specify something new/differend in the commandline to use the 
correct modt?

Re: [hlds_linux] Mandatory TF2 update released

Random question regarding community items. The people who create the items earn 
money because of the key sales.

How about community made maps, will there ever be a financial gain for map 
creators of TF2 to stimulate the creation of more pro-looking (Read: VALVe 
style) maps?

Source Engine Changes
- Fixed server CPU spikes caused by compression of string tables and packets.
- Added sv_netspike, sv_netspike_sendtime_ms, and sv_netspike_output convars 
for investigating server performance

also determines the threshold to determine when a "fragment" (logical game 
network message, before being broken up into network packets) is compressed.
- Added vprof_vtrace and vprof_report_oninterval convars, and tweaked 
vprof_dump_spikes and vprof_dump_oninterval to reduce output

Team Fortress 2
- Added the Robotic Boogaloo community update: 
http://www.teamfortress.com/roboticboogaloo/
- Fixed a chat exploit that would cause other clients to timeout from dedicated 
servers
- Updated the Mann Co. Store
   - Added RoboCrate Keys
   - Added A Random RoboKey Gift
   - Added Pile of RoboKey Gifts
   - Backpack Expanders on sale at 80% off

[hlds_linux] steacmd segfaults

[Saint K .]

(seems like I accidentally sent this to the windows list at first)
Hi,

when I run the servers with steamcmd and the autoupdate feature I get segfaults 
on steamcmd. The server boots correctly after it. Any idea what could be 
causing that?

I've moved the steamcmd to a different location, and now it works. (it wasn't 
in the old steam dir, it was one directory before that).

Ah well, it works now.

This has all the technical info you should need for getting the SteamPipe
version of the TF2 server: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD

If you find you need further instructions with regard to migration of your
data (/mostly/ just transferring your custom stuff, like addons, cfg,
mapcycle,etc), there is a lot of good info in the HLDS(_Linux too) archives
and on google (including some youtube tutorials) to assist further :)

Sorry if this isn't what you were asking about and I misunderstood or
somesuch. If so, feel free to reply, whether publicly or privately. For
realtime support there's also #HLServerAdmins on gamesurge (general srcds)
and #sourcemod (also gamesurge) for sourcemod/metamod stuffs (though, I
have a feeling you know that one :P)

Re: [hlds_linux] TF2 SteamPipe beta update released. Forcing all clients to convert soon.

[Saint K .]

Thanks for that.

I am running into this issue with steamcmd.sh, even when trying to run it as 
root;

[  0%] Checking for available updates...
[  0%] Download complete.
[] Verifying installation...
[] !!! Fatal Error: Steam failed to load: *SteamStartEngine(0xff949f60) 
failed with error 1: Failed to create directory /somedir/tf2/Steam/SteamApps

Google doesn't turn up with any results when I google that. I have tried to 
remove the /Steam directory, but it recreates them and then errors out on the 
same error.

Any idea what's up with that?

Saint K:

This has all the technical info you should need for getting the SteamPipe
version of the TF2 server: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD

If you find you need further instructions with regard to migration of your
data (/mostly/ just transferring your custom stuff, like addons, cfg,
mapcycle,etc), there is a lot of good info in the HLDS(_Linux too) archives
and on google (including some youtube tutorials) to assist further :)

Sorry if this isn't what you were asking about and I misunderstood or
somesuch. If so, feel free to reply, whether publicly or privately. For
realtime support there's also #HLServerAdmins on gamesurge (general srcds)
and #sourcemod (also gamesurge) for sourcemod/metamod stuffs (though, I
have a feeling you know that one :P)

We've released an optional update to the TF2 SteamPipe beta.  Here are the 
change notes (since the last SteamPipe beta):

Team Fortress 2:
* Fixed network incompatibility causing custom names and descriptions to not 
display on client

Source engine:
* Fix sprays trying to load from the wrong directory
* Restored VPK file cache, with tuned size to reduce memory usage and improve 
client boot and map load times

This server is compatible with all currently running clients.  (SteamPipe and 
non-SteamPipe.)

We expect to flip the switch to force all clients to convert to SteamPipe in a 
few hours.  (Approx 2:00 PM Seattle time.)  At this time, the "Steampipe beta" 
server which has just been released will become the official server.  There 
will not be another update.

If you were waiting for the right time to start flipping your servers to 
SteamPipe, now is it.

Thanks,

Re: [hlds_linux] MvM Matchmaking broken?

[Saint K .]

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.

Re: [hlds_linux] Server Lockup Fix?

We experience the same locks ups with just sourcemod installed, no fancy 
feature plugins.

So, if you try to find the issue, I think you need to look closer at the 
sourcemod core or srcds.

Re: [hlds_linux] Mandatory TF2, DoD:S, and HL2:DM updates released

When you say "- Improved performance for the Linux version", I assume that's 
for the Linux client?

Re: [hlds_linux] daily restarrt manually

[Saint K .]

And here I thought we where the only one with this problem. (also on Debian)

The crashes seem to have intensified after the last few TF2 updates, not sure 
if you have noticed the same.

Subject: [hlds_linux] daily restarrt manually

Hi all,

For some time i am cursed that from the 30 tf2 servers, i usually have to
manually restart about 5 to 10 a day because they are hanging/crashed.
When it issues a daily _restart it just either "hangs" or comes up with
the error below.

I was trying to look deeper into this issue last time and found out that
on one of the boxes I got this message on a restart crash:
/home/lz/.steam/sdk32/steamclient.so: cannot open shared object file: No
such file or directory
After some digging it seems that this comes with the new steamcmd client,
where you have to symbolic link the bin32 to sdk32. It only
creates the .steam files if you actually run the steamcmd client to
download a game (csgo for instance) running steamcmd standalone just makes
bad ubuntu links on my debian.

Looking at below message, this makes me believe that for some reason these
servers of mine crash because of incorrect libs or something in this area.
After all, why would it complain about a steamclient.so that only comes
via steamcmd? Which we don't use for tf2 yet.

Does anybody have my golden clue?

In my opinion the issue is not caused by poorly configured dns server.
But due to poorly configured networks that allows spoofed traffic to
leave their routers...

I'm sure who is used to get ddos already knows who these ISPs allowing
spoofing are...
If those networks were shutdown there would be no need to protect any
kind of UDP service (there are people doing syn reflections in the same
way using srcds tcp ports... do you ratelimit properly those?)

We've had incoming DNS query reply attacks over several Gbit/sec. Any non-pro 
gaming community like ours can't defend against such floods of data.

All you can do is have your IP's null-routed and wait till the attack dies out.

Does anyone know any proper software (need to be able to host it ourselves) to

Initially just knock-out cups, but preferable also the ability to create season 
based tournaments.

Re: [hlds_linux] Incoming DoS attack

[Saint K .]

Our other server yesterday got hit by the so called "DNS response DDoS". So I'm 
guessing right now the attack wasn't aimed at exploiting SRCDS itself, but 
simply to put down our services.

Not much you can do but wait for the attacks to die out.

(If every ISP would just implement ip source guard you could at least actually 
block IP addresses knowing they come from a real source meh)

That's kind of pointless in case of UDP attacks, chances are very high that the 
IP's simply are spoofed.

Re: [hlds_linux] Incoming DoS attack

[Saint K .]

We have no control over the upstream network. All I can do is filter the 
packets at the machine, but that wouldn't prevent the link from still being 
overloaded.

Currently a null-route is in place to stop the attack at the network boarder.

Re: [hlds_linux] Incoming DoS attack

[Saint K .]

The IP's in the dump originate from China, but as it's UDP it could very well 
be spoofed.

Looking at the payload in the packets, each new packet only has 1 character 
change from the previous packet.

Bruteforce, or perhaps signature scanning evasion?

Hi,

We've been having DoS attacks aimed at one of our MvM servers.

Anyone have any idea what they're attempting to do here? It is just to make the 
server unreachable, or are the actually trying to exploit srcds somehow?

Here's a tcpdump made for about 30 seconds during the attack (which is still 
ongoing);

Subject: [hlds_linux] Potential fix for problems on multi-honed servers

If you are running a multi-honed server, and your server occasionally drops out 
of the master server listing, or appears on the wrong public IP, then you may 
be interested in testing our some beta binaries that might fix the problem.  
The problem begins with a disruption while talking on UDP (often during the 
weekly prop of Steam).  The Steam client layer then enters a fallback pattern 
of TCP, then UDP, etc.  Eventually the disruption is resolved, and it can be 
random whether your server managed to connect to Steam on TCP or UDP, depending 
on where it was in the retry pattern.  The problem with TCP for multi-honed 
servers is that it will always bind to the default interface, disregarding any 
request to bind to a particular interface.  This can cause Steam to see your 
server as coming from the wrong public IP.  Depending on your routing rules, 
NAT, etc, your server can drop off of the server browser because clients cannot 
get to you when they send packets to that IP.

Some server operators have worked around this bug with firewall rules 
preventing the server from connecting to Steam via TCP.

These binaries disable TCP fallback for dedicated servers.

http://media.steampowered.com/apps/440/steam_bins_windows_1586041.zip
http://media.steampowered.com/apps/440/steam_bins_linux_1586041.zip

Be warned that they have not been widely tested.  You should only try out these 
binaries if you think you are having problems related to multi-honed machines.

Also, note that if you do use these binaries, and then update your server, they 
will probably be reverted.

Re: [hlds_linux] TF2 empty servers

[Saint K .]

My observations are from before the Halloween event. Of course during Halloween 
it's easy to have a couple of servers filled, but our vanilla's were normally 
full (before event) every evening (Not in the middle of the night, they never 
are). During the Halloween event they remained as populated as before. However, 
as soon as the Halloween event ended, so did the activity on our servers, also 
on the servers which hadn't participated in the event and whom remained normal, 
filled, vanilla servers.

The drop from a few full servers on a daily base, to literally 0 full servers 
for the last week just seems a bit to steep.

Theres prropably nothing wrong with the system. Halloween just was great
way for some server owners to increase their playercount. People found
new servers and play on them. They just isn't yours, or mine.

I also had servers full 24/7 on halloween, now they are empty at night
just like before.

Re: [hlds_linux] TF2 empty servers

[Saint K .]

Fletch,

Now comes the obvious question, why does VALVe maintain to run that many 
servers then when the player base is decreasing?

Hasn't VALVe always pushed for game community development around their games?

We're kind of missing out these days. The quickplay system is already quite 
harmful as it is (much more random, harder to attach people to your servers), 
and now we also deal with the masses of VALVe hosted servers.

Cheers,

Saint K.

I have not looking into this closely, so it's mostly a guess.  But I think that 
player-to-server ratios have just been changing.

Some significant differences between this week and last week are:

* Decrease in overall player counts after Halloween event ends and the launch 
of other popular shooters.
* Addition of official PvP dedicated servers.

We shifted almost all of our dedicated servers to Halloween maps and modes 
during Halloween.  We ran very few PvP servers.  (For a while, due to a 
configuration error, there were absolutely zero.)  Now we have switched some 
back to PvP.   We are actually running fewer PvP servers now than we were 
before Halloween.

[hlds_linux] TF2 empty servers

[Saint K .]

Up until a week ago our TF2 servers where filled every night.

Now every night they sit empty.

What changed? Did the reputation system reset or something?

Re: [hlds_linux] Lag?

[Saint K .]

I played a game on one of the machines earlier, a brand new machine previously 
doing fine, and at the time of playing was pretty much nothing but hosting the 
game of 8 players I was with, we still had these lag/freezes.

Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Lag?

Htop shows one server process having 2 threads that each chew  20-60% of
cpu at the same time on a single server. This causes a peak that makes
the server lag due to it eating it's own cpu out. I'm assuming this is
the cause for everyone else too who is seeing lag. This only affects one
gameserver of mine and the more cores you have, the less you will notice
it. Most of my servers are fine, no lagging but this one does peak randomly.

Re: [hlds_linux] Possible fix for MvM Linux servers

[Saint K .]

Our MvM servers run off the same directory as the normal servers. 

Will this have any negative effect on the normal, good running servers?

[hlds_linux] Killingfloor

[Saint K .]

Hi,

Is KF still supported here, or does it have its own mailing list? (can't find 
any).

Last update makes our servers refuse to boot;

kf@MrBlonde:~/system$ ./ucc-bin server 
KF-BioticsLab.rom?game=KFmod.KFGameType?VACSecured=true?MaxPlayers=6?AdminName=admin?AdminPassword=.?multihome=85.17.60.96
Missing Class Class Editor.TransBuffer
Can't find 'intASteamStatsAndAchievementsBaseexecGetOwnedWeaponDLC' in 
'Engine.dll'
Executing UObject::StaticShutdownAfterError
Can't find 'intASteamStatsAndAchievementsBaseexecGetOwnedWeaponDLC' in 
'Engine.dll'

History:

Exiting due to error
Exiting.
FileManager: Reading 0 GByte 11 MByte 642 KByte 577 Bytes from HD took 0.026108 
seconds (0.006015 reading, 0.020093 seeking).
FileManager: 0.00 seconds spent with misc. duties
Name subsystem shut down

Any idea's?

Cheers,

Saint K.
