This serving of news bits have been brought to you by Halflife.net.



-K-Query, the alternative to GameSpy, has been updated to version 2.1.6 build 290.



-DesertFortress has written an article on Counter-Strike vs TFC. He makes interesting points, to say the least.



-Eric Smith from Valve Software has sent out this statement.

Several issues with HL 1104 have come to our attention and we wanted to make sure that the server admins know what steps we're taking to address the known issues. First, due to a mix-up with our version control software (totally our fault), we had a regression sneak into this build with respect to the status command. The code that printed out the user's IP address was inadvertently omitted from the 1104 source base. We'll be addressing this in a server-only release in the next week or so. Note that we're going to recheck all of the combined code as we've had unconfirmed reports of at least two other issues that appear to be regressions in the code base.

Next, we've had some complaints about some changes to the way rcon works, in particular, that rcon now places double quotes around each separate token making the "say" command from rcon a bit difficult to use. We'll be looking into fixing that as well.



Finally, we've been getting some reports of servers going down with the following message:



Error SZ_GetSpace: overflow without FSB_ALLOWOVERFLOW set



We're looking into this, but we really need additional information on exactly what is going on when this happens (what mod is being run, is the server running any server side bots, does it occur on a totally full server only, etc.). If anyone out there has a definite repro case for this error (or any other server crash issue), please let us know right away.

Maybe now they can fix the bug where the muzzle flash of the MP5 comes out of their crotch...
