The OSGN

A CS:S update caused SourceMod to no longer work. Once they fix that we can get the GG server back up.

Here is the event log from the server company.

Subject and date Description
Re: Broken Orangebox update
Dec 17 2010 07:14:33 PM PT

We have put in place a workaround now that allows Windows servers to start and run. However, due either to the new release or the workaround, Metamod does not seem to run.

We will roll out the official fix from Valve when we have it. If Metamod:Source releases an update, we'll update our autoinstaller with that ASAP, as well.

Results of server repair
Dec 17 2010 07:10:01 PM PT Our repair script ran on your server and gave the following output:

Processing osgn:
Refreshing hardlinks.
Checking autoexec.cfg.
Checking server.cfg.
Checking mapcycle.txt.
Checking format of metaplugins.ini.
..Done.

Automatic remote repair
Dec 17 2010 07:09:43 PM PT The server was found to be down for three successive polling periods, and so our generic repair script is being automatically run on it. The results of this repair will be posted into the Event log as well.

Automatic remote restart
Dec 17 2010 07:04:16 PM PT Your server was found to be offline by our systems for two successive polling periods (which means it was down for between 5 and 10 minutes). Our systems attempted to automatically restart the server as a result.

If you intentionally had the server down, this error is nothing to be concerned about. Otherwise, you should examine your server's plugins and custom maps as possible causes for the server freezing behavior. Very rarely is a problem like this not due to buggy plugins or problematic custom maps.

You can also sometimes find clues on why the server froze by looking at the log files. If you have a Half-life server, you might consider running a program such as HLSW in the background on your client machine and examining its logging output after this happens the next time.

Broken Orangebox update
Dec 17 2010 06:47:53 PM PT Valve released a broken Orangebox update today that does not work on Windows servers, causing them to not start up at all. We are currently awaiting a fix from Valve for this and will roll it out as soon as we see it.

Required game update applied
Dec 17 2010 06:42:14 PM PT A required update was released a short while ago. Our system has been automatically working on the update since the moment of Valve's notification and just finished rolling it out to your server.

Looks like I got the server running in gungame again. Not sure if everything works, like knife fight, etc, so it will have to be tested.

I know statsme for psycho stats doesn't work right now, so will have to look into that.

Thanks Brutus.

Hard to believe that an update that was only claimed to affect 3 settings in CS related to sv_pure could so royally screw things up.

Need to test it to make sure everything is working ok.

I was on earlier today and everything seemed fine. Didn't think to check statsme, but knife fight, music, and admin were all working.
