Meathook appears to be poorly again.
Lets me connect then I lose the connection after a few seconds
SLoWHaND

Let me on OK and I stayed for a while. Try doing the blobby thang.
same here, pretty much had probs allday :angry:

it seems to b steam pings r all over the shop :angry:
Ive tried many times to get on get to 3 bars and stops :(
They say steam in online but some aint hmmm http://www.steampowered.com/status.html (http://www.steampowered.com/status.html)
Any one fancy a game on another server? As i was on the smx server which worked. And also i cant get onto my friends list wtf? Bloody steam i guess its doing updates on servers or is the servers just sick?
many of the guys are playing on my server just now:
blueball.deadmen.co.uk:27016
PW as per Meathook
It seems to be stable
i had the same problem today
after sadako suggested this
QuoteI had a similar problem and I did this.
1. exit steam
2. delete the clientregistry.blob
3. restart steam and it should start updating
should do the trick DA
It was great to see so many guys on my server tonite. However, i think our little impromptu experiment taught us one thing...
...my server can't handle 12 peeps :(
maxplayers now set to 10.
PS BB enterprises were proud to be of service to the TCS community this evening. Hopefully you all found your frequent visitor vouchers under your seats so that your next visit will be half price. Yes, thats right ! Two headshots for the price of one :)
Cheers guys,
twas fun
i still have that ping problem.
Does someone know how to solve it or is it just steam to wait for them to fix it?

Much appreciated BB. :D
Now I gotta find out what's wrong with our servers :(
I closed down CS on my server last night to apply the maxplayers change. When I restarted it it downloaded another small game update even though I already got wednesdays.
Might be worth a shutdown restart to see if that clears it?
PS At the moment my desktop client is downloading DoD so things may be slow if everyone is doing that?
HTH?
I've just spent some time on the servers and everything *seems* fine. Hmmm. <_<

What I thought was odd was that all 3 servers did it and it wasn't limited to just one.
I note on Steams site that Linux servers auto restart after patches but windows has to be manually restarted. That could explain why I got a patch this morning when I restarted - it didn't restart automatically after the last patch. Was there anything in the logs to show if the servers restarted during the night if a patch was issued? They would have auto restarted and would now appear "OK" one would hope.
Linux server only restart if a certain variable is on so i read.

Correct. You have to have -autoupdate as a parameter in the startup.
All our servers do.
MH is still FUBAR. Been idling on MH but got kicked off due to "Connection Problems".
On Homer now to check.
OK. I've an hour left before TCS changeover so I'll play with MH for a while.
Something seems really broke right now, I'm guessing it's Steam. I'm sick of dropping all the time so have fun and goodnight. Let's see if they can get their fingers out over at Valve for tomorrow?
Because it got stuck all the time I got to play Max Payne 2. It look s excellent so far.
I bought lotr the return of the king looks good and gives scenes from the movie sweet.

Will that help?
Probaly not :( , but is fun :D
Call of Duty
Max payne
LOTR
All coming on the morrow. Money well spent? We'll see.
I've got Call of Duty installed now aswell. First Max Payne2.
Hopefully when Steam is good to go again some CS aswell (whenever in the future <_< ;) ).
yeah, I tried connecting last night too. But it wasn't having it, so I gave up and played homeworld2.
I'm going to take all three servers down, reinstall MH afresh and restart MH only.
If you see MH up please join to test. Thanx.
We had been playing on homer for a couple of hours with no probs before you took it down.
Can connect to the hook with no probs.
wonder if it has anything to do with this ?

BUMP! I'm continually getting connection issues, and lag, and all kindsa crap, and MH is starting to die with fairly depressing regularity. Please nice server god people dont take this offensively, its just getting a little annoying, I know you are all doin ure utmost to sort it out, but its gettin on me tits proper style! :angry: :rant:
Yes unfortunately most of these problems are caused by steams wednesday updates which then have to be sorted out.
...and steam's coders who seem completely inept at writing anything to work on Linux.... :(
TL.

I tried to tell as many as possible last night. It is a CLIENT issue not a server issue and OB and I confirmed it.
OB had the following situation:
1. Steam Updated - Yay!
2. Server list doesn't refresh
3. Trying to connect to any of our dMw Servers causes them to crash.
I suggested the following:
1. Shut down steam
2. Delete the ClientRegistry.blob
3. Restart Steam and it should start updating.
(http://forum.deadmen.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=3831 )
OB did that and then tried to connect and was successful.
The give aways are
1. You can't connect to a server e.g. Meat Hook
2. Serverlist does not refresh
Sadako did say it several times, he's right about that. Was on Meathook and so several times and he told every1 by StemBuddysytem and so.

He sure did. Via sv_alltalk on Aztec if I remember rightly.
The second time MH crashed after Sadako's announcement, I quit Steam, deleted the ClientRegistery.blob file, and restarted Steam again to get it to update itself. Just in case it was me...
Blunt and I eventually ended up in a 1 vs 1 game (everyone else probably got fed up by this point). We think it was Liberator who kept crashing the server, as his was the last name we both kept seeing in the Spectators list before MH died. Is there some way to check the server logs to confirm this?
Apologies Liberator if it wasn't you causing the crashes. Just trying to help resolve this problem.
I was monitoring the server via HLSW and I saw it to be Argonaute.
Hopefully, when I've updated the servers today, the problem (until next Wednesday) will be history. :eyebrow:
I was of the understanding that cynicism increased with old age not optimism, well you learn a new thing every day. :D
Yesterday i learnt that i really can't drive any of the cars in live for speed, oh and TeaLeaf is a thug behind the wheel. ^_^
All three servers are now updated.
That took over three hours to achieve. :angry:
If you want to see the effect of releasing a major upgrade to the CS servers on the day before a US National holiday, go read some of the posts in the Steam forum.
Oh and don't bother looking for you favourite WC3 server. They're all broke.
Which is so annoying as I had just found a belter!!!
One of the Boomtown servers. They are Swiss based I think, usually nice and stable and they run a huge number of different servers. It appears that steam has fubared adminmod and amx, I believe Oldie mentioned this elsewhere.
just went to have a read of the steam forums and got this:-
