It's not that I love microtransactions, it's that 1.) this complaining is not relevant to server administration and 2.) you whining isn't going to change a thing. There is no going back to how things were in 2007. But microtrans isn't some big bad evil, Valve has actually done a pretty good job of

[hlds_linux] Dropping off quickplay crashes

2011-08-10 Thread Saint K .
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

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? Give you a chance to fill

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

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

Wow I knew valve had a ton of servers set up when TF2 went f2p, but I had no idea they had this many! I know they semi recently stopped giving their servers a bonus, but see just how many of their servers are still populated, I can't help to feel like they're stealing players from us!

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
