Server Update

Post by Caliman »

Server was brought down due to a Steam update, is it possible if this could be done later in the night when the server isnt full of people?

we usually do it during early morning if its not a required update, however this was a huge update in terms of fixes for the source engine and CS:S, thus was a much needed and required update.

Actually it was a required update for servers and clients. As soon as you started your client it would no longer allow you to connect with servers. We tried that before updating the servers.

Yes, unfortunately Valve made this one required. We much prefer the ones that aren't, since we can perform those in the early morning when few people are playing.

We do required updates like this as quickly as possible in order to minimize downtime and maximize the number of people who are able to play on the server.
