Re: [hlds_linux] VAC2 implementation for 64-bit binaries, status?

2006-03-15 Thread Michael Berkowitz
Wrong. Read back in the mailing list a bit - I posted the valve press announcement from 2003 where they said 30% or more and it will get better. We saw a lot more than that and it was great. Then bam last june valve puts out vac2 with no 64bit so we are forced to run 32 bit. What does that m

That is funny because in the Valve press release over 3 years ago announcing 64bit support they were showing over 30% cpu savings in their tests. - and most of us see more than that now. "In a straight port of code highly optimized for x86-32, Counter-Strike dedicated server tests with both 32

The issue is that the leagues all require Vac2 here in the US. That means running hlds in 32bit emulation thus negating the performance gained by using 64bit. - Original Message From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: hlds_linux@list.valvesoftware.com Sent: Tuesday, January 17, 2006 9:44:36 AM S

Alfred, Are you ever going to answer any questions on the 64bit support for VAC2? 7 months is a long time to go without AC. I'm not sure if you guys are aware but the Call of Duty server admins had a strike recently to complain about lack of support from the CoD dev. They got over 25% of the

Alfred, Any update on getting 64bit VAC2? Going on 7 months now that 64bit server owners have been unable to run CS servers in 64bit mode and have AC. Can you at least tell us if you ever plan on releasing it or is 64 bit support being dropped? Thanks. - Original Message From: Alfr

Re: [hlds_linux] VAC 2 on 64 Bit

2005-11-20 Thread Michael Berkowitz
The straight answer is you cannot run 64bit HLDS and VAC2 - Valve stopped supporting 64bit VAC2 five months ago. What that really means for the vast majority of admins who can't expect to run a server without AC is that they are stuck downgrading to running 32bit HLDS. No one has a clue whether o

I am still very confused by how Valve could release a VAC2 update without including all platforms. What has it been 4 months now and no 64bit version of va2. Here is the press release from Valve on March 7, 2003 announcing 64bit support for Counter-Strike. http://collective.valve-erc.com/index.ph

Yes it would be nice as its been months now. Just to reiterate for Valve there are many GSP's that invested in AMD servers and 64bit linux as valve offically supported them with grand fanfare in March 2003.Has Valve dropped 64bit support? We have been forced to run 32bit emulation for months, wast
