[DarkAngel]

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

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

[FATAL]

i had the same problem today
after sadako suggested this

I 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.  

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.
