It's still good for admins and for those who only play on a few servers.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the chat feature works with rcon password. About freaking time How i have missed this. Watching console via ssh is a pain in the arse. Anyways, I can only get it to work for HL/HL2 base games but eh. thats all i need.

Nevermind. I forgot about the RCON side to hlsw. Usually people just use this to save their favorite servers (which isn't much use since the steam server browser has replaced it), but I forgot about those who use this to control their server with RCON. I'm surprised valve hasn't done anything about using rcon commands without being in-game, but god knows there are enough bugs in Steam already.

im not sure what u mean by this but access to rcon commands outside of actually having to connect to ingame is a godsend for those of us who run servers

That is a good feature for admins, you can do it even in the console if you are not connected: rcon_password, rcon_address, rcon_port. Also HLSW and every other similar program needs this to get logs for the scorebot feature.

Every release the chat feature has worked for me, well at least it works for you now, I can understand trying to read chat in console mode, gg especially if you have a very active server with 20 players like myself.

Well the chat thing hasnt worked. Or maybe i am just a putz. Either way, watching the console is out. 24 people and peek time last a little over 16 hours. Man, it give me a head ach after like 4 mins.

I'm voting putz, it's working, they just had to change the logaddress syntax after the last server update.

You DO know that RCON is short for Remote Console? It's designed so you don't have to be in game to use it. For those of us who run a busy server, or want to keep an eye on the server without being in the game, this is an essential tool.
