Re: [hlds] TF2 Servers Disappearing from Steam Servers List - AGAIN!

Dear Bottinger, Thanks for reporting this info. This explains why I had no players again. I was also working with Fletcher Dunn on this a while ago and then he stopped responding to my messages and it never got fixed. I hope it gets resolved soon. A new heartbeat CVAR would be wonderful. Thanks

Re: [hlds] TF2 Servers Disappearing from Steam Servers List - AGAIN!

I talked to Mr. Dunn about this problem since May and haven't heard from him since. The problem happens every Steam outage which occurs quite frequently. There was an outage 1 hour ago. Even if your server manages to reconnect to the Steam master list by luck, it will not log back into quickplay,

Framework for something big coming up, I'd imagine. The fact they didn't notify about a server update leads me to believe it's client only. I'm also able to connect to servers that I know aren't updated with the current client build, so it looks like there shouldn't be any action required on our

I'm confused... Our TF2 servers do not have a "listdeaths" command in their cvarlists, and neither at the server console nor in a client does trying to execute "listdeaths" do anything at all. According to: http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/October_2,_2007_Patch Valve "Removed "listdeaths" com

I just tried the *alias listdeaths ""* command, executed it via RCON but I was still able to crash my server even by entering the *listdeaths* command once on client side. It didn't seem to matter how long the server was up, it would still crash regardless. I ended up making a small SourceMod plug

Re: [hlds] SRCDS memory leak?

I run 9 TF2 servers on Server 2008 R2 and all of them climb to (and perhaps continue climbing) to around 1.2GB. We have replay and sourcetv disabled. The usual thursday updates gives us a chance to restart our instances and get the memory back. We've personally ruled out all of our SM plugins. If

I run 4 TF2 servers. For me it seems that ~1,3 Gigs per server is something that they go to and stay there. If i do a fresh boot to server, it slowly eats first 350 megs, then climbs up in 2 days to over 1 gig but on the third day, it stops to that 1,3 or so. Doesn't matter custom or regular ma

Just to be absolutely clear, having played TF2 since beta, I can assure you this is being done maliciously. In fact, the night ended with the person doing it about 3 times in a row and people just left the server. We've had these in the past, it used to be as easy as spamming connect/disconnect

Hi, I'm using both SM and MM too. The plugins on there are tried and tested. I'll have a search through them to see if there's any ancient ones though. All the maps are standard TF2 ones. Two of the servers are 24/7 servers and reset map after 5 hours. I'm not doing anything "retarded" fro
