Re: [hlds_linux] Dropping off quickplay crashes
It is difficult for Valve to respond when there are so many flaming trolls on the list. I have noticed vague similar quick play behavior... Empty server, restart on same map, server fills up. May just be that quick play favors servers briefly after they are started?

Re: [hlds_linux] Dropping off quickplay crashes
I remember when a restart would get my server to start receive quick play traffic instantly. I still have no idea why my server just stopped getting that kind of traffic on 7/20. I do wish we had a few more metrics to go on to tell how our servers were doing (or give ID's sub 1000 a bonus for being there at the start :D).

Re: [hlds_linux] Dropping off quickplay crashes
I kind of stopped having traffic on this one particular server about a week ago. Before that, it was constantly full (the most newest server i have for TF2). Only noticeable difference is 2 TF2 updates after that time which means Valve changed the system somehow, people got more bored to TF2 at this time or servers below 12 000 rep will receive more traffic than the others. Yes, i know reputation does not affect quickplay that much, different system but i just noticed that. Mine has now 13400 on the new one. Its full from morning to late night so it's still ok, just that it used to have more folks than now. I'm not complaining though. -ics 10.8.2011 18:35, Tom Grant kirjoitti: I remember when a restart would get my server to start receive quick play traffic instantly.

Guy's, If you want to rant, use the other ongoing thread. I just want to know the works of the system, I don't care how many servers VALVe has up. Generally spoken, if you provide something that is worth it, the players will find your servers. It's not quickplay alone which keeps your servers going. Saint K.

A lot of the informations shown here is wrong, dead servers stay in the list for more than 2 months etc. 2011/8/10 Mike jons darkcloud...@hotmail.com Valve has almost 1500 servers up now. They used to only have around 1000 before. Proof: http://www.game-monitor.com/search.php?search=valve%20tfgame=tf2 It's crazy and absurd o_0. They should move it to around 300-400 servers at max. Tell us why you need all these servers valve?

Before that, it was constantly full (the most newest server i have for TF2). Only noticeable difference is 2 TF2 updates after that time which means Valve changed the system somehow, people got more bored to TF2 at this time or servers below 12 000 rep will receive more traffic than the others. Yes, i know reputation does not affect quickplay that much, different system but i just noticed that. Mine has now 13400 on the new one. Its full from morning to late night so it's still ok, just that it used to have more folks than now. I'm not complaining though. -ics 10.8.2011 18:35, Tom Grant kirjoitti: I remember when a restart would get my server to start receive quick play traffic instantly. I still have no idea why my server just stopped getting that kind of traffic on 7/20. I do wish we had a few more metrics to go on to tell how our servers were doing (or give ID's sub 1000 a bonus for being there at the start :D).

I have noticed vague similar quick play behavior... Empty server, restart on same map, server fills up. May just be that quick play favors servers briefly after they are started? Give you a chance to fill up, etc. Sent via BlackBerry by ATT -Original Message- From: Saint K.sai...@specialattack.net Sender: hlds_linux-bounces@list.**valvesoftware.com hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com Date: Wed, 10 Aug 2011 15:19:45 To: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list hlds_linux@list.valvesoftware.**com hlds_linux@list.valvesoftware.com Reply-To: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list hlds_linux@list.**valvesoftware.com hlds_linux@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: [hlds_linux] Dropping off quickplay crashes Hi, Does anyone know the cause for a server to drop off the quickplay system? Our servers seem to drop off quite regularly and require a full reboot to get them back on (a mapchange has no effect). Also, the crashes are still around (occasionally). Now I don;t really mind having bugs in software and I understand it takes time to track them down and fix them, however, a bit more communication regarding this subject from VALVe side is highly appreciated. We're working around the clock on finding possible causes for the crashes to find workarounds till things are fixed, provide as much feedback as possible, minidumps etc. It's not to much to ask for a mail on the list every few days to give a (small) update on the matter, is it?
