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:
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.
