Kaksno graficno si lastis? ;)

Drugace sm opazil "lepso" vodo samo v Aztecu. Drugih plat pa se nekak nism igral kr nam Matrix se ni updejtal serverja.

Sem pa pridobil zdaj nekaj fpsjev z enimi optimiziranimi driverji za sourcre, tko da zdaj v stress testu dobim spet ~115 FPS-jev.

Jaz sm u YY, drugace pa se nimamo serverja, cakamo da se matrix zmiga. Mam pa se server rcon od prejsnjega klana k je propadu :)

Drugace pa ja ... ti updejti, ne vem zakaj se ob "rcon quit" server ne updejta. To je smesno narejeno, restarta se, updejta pa se ne...

Zakaj pa ?

Zgleda, da si nov v uporabljanju Steama. Lahko bi vedel, da se updejtanje automaticno ustavi ko pozenes igro.

edit: drugace pa tudi nebi blo slabo saj so ti strezniki na noro dobrih povezavah in bi se updejtalo zelo zelo hitro. Za potrditev pa bi samo dal rcon quit in restartal server. To bi bilo super, skoda da ni tako.

VAC2 je ze beta (testirajo performance vpliv na serverje, se ne banna), novih skinov pa ne vem ce bo kaj, sedaj so prisli novi CTji, Tji so ze nekaj casa novi, ce hoces pa kaj vec imas pa ogromen developer community, tako kot pri CS 1.6.

HL1 Engine Update
June 7, 2005, 4:12 pm · Alfred Reynolds
Updates to the HL1 Engine have been released. The updates will be applied automatically when your Steam client is restarted. The specific changes include:

HL1 Engine

* Fixed several exploits triggered by malicious server operators (found by Stan Bubrouski)
* As part of the next version of VAC, which is currently in testing, the Linux game server now must have GLIBC 2.3.2 or above installed


HL1 Engine Master Server Query Protocol
These changes bring the HL1 engine's querying protocol in line with that of the Source engine. If you connect to Steam enabled game servers using a third party tool, you may need to contact the vendor for an update.

* Added a challenge number to A2S_PLAYER and A2S_RULES server queries.
Setting "sv_enableoldqueries" to 1 (currently the default) allows old style (no challenge/response) queries to work
* Changed A2S_INFO server query to require the string "Source Engine Query" appended to the end of the query packet
* Removed support for "info", "infostring", "details", "players" and "rules" queries, use A2S_INFO, A2S_PLAYERS and A2S_RULES instead

odgovor, ki ga je dobil od enega Valve administratorja na STeam forumu glede njegovega accounta:



30,000 accounts disabled and there's been barely a whimper - yet!

That's 50,000 all up so far. Quite amazing.

I guess we should batten down the hatches!
