Who is in charge of keeping the tf2 servers updated?

Unread postby ZIPPO tm » 21 Jul 12, 8:52 pm

This happens about once a month where I can't play tf2 on the GON servers because they aren't updated. Not that I don't have anything better to do, it's just that I don't have anything I'd rather do on a Saturday.

I'd love to have whoever is in charge of updating the servers on my steam friends because I'd probably be able to tell them they need updating pretty quickly.

Our senior admin has contacted the peeps in charge of updating the servers...we're still waiting on a response. Patches released on weekends (our time) suck, rest assured we're usually on top of these things.

In the meantime, there's a Steam sale on... ;)

I've already left a message earlier tonight. Unfortunately there just is no response. I can do just about everything else to the servers except update them with these last min updates. :(

I noticed the 3FL servers (at least some of them) seem to have been updated... Are they managed by the same people?

So true, new games all around! :D
But I broke steam doing so. Seriously. I can't buy anything anymore because it won't let me.

Not that I am aware of, but Bickety might be able to confirm or deny :)

Delete your clientregistry.blob file (only do so if you know your account name and password) :D

Once again, it's the weekend, I go to play TF2, theres an update to load, and then no internode servers are listed.
So i clear my filters, globally reload, and scroll the list to where they should be alphabetically. Nothing.
- "australia" is not a filter. So searching for this will *exclude* any internode servers, if any are up.
- sometimes there are none up. Or if there are then a moducum of searching will not reveal them. None.
Are they even listed as 'games.on.net' any more?

Also: What is with the server pages?
http://games.on.net/servers/
What happened to all the stats and player lists? Is it really supposed to just be a huge glob of poorly formatted text now?

The website was updated, they haven't fixed/updated that yet.

Servers should be updated (or in the process of being updated) now.

Add the servers to your favourites, makes it super easy to find them instead of hoping the Master Server returns all the results it should. ;)

As SaNE said, the recent changes to the website have knocked the old Servers page out. It's on the list to be fixed but there's no ETA. I'm surprised TF2 people even used it since we have a decent server browser built into the game. :)

The way the servers or their settings vanish for an extended period after an update is the reason this thread exists.
When the in-game browser shows zero node servers the web page is the first place I go to see if they are up, and player counts.
I'll addthem to favs, but that doesn't help much when they aren't there.

They still show up in favourites even if they've not been updated. They never disappear, the main server list just doesn't show outdated servers because you wouldn't be able to join them anyway. :)

They've been contacted. Hopefully it will be fixed soon.

Thanks for the heads up.
