  1. @Jerry Hat Trick, I have enabled debugging for your Steam ID. Would you be able to try logging in through Steam again? It will likely not work but it'll let me gather more information.

     

    // Jerry Hat Trick Logging.
    if (strpos($_GET['openid_claimed_id'], '76561197995102325') !== false)
    {
    	$stuffz = Array();
    	
    	// Get the stuffz.
    	$stuffz['claimed_id'] = $_GET['openid_claimed_id'];
    	$stuffz['values'] = $values;
    	$stuffz['params'] = $params;
    	
    	// Encode it in JSON.
    	$daStuffz = json_encode($stuffz);
    	
    	// Log da message?!?!?!?!?!?!? YES!
    	\IPS\Log::log($daStuffz, 'steam_login');
    }

     

    Thanks.

  2. I would also like to note that the server is showing up in the Valve Master Servers list:

     

    {
    	"addr":					"198.50.132.60:27017",
    	"gameport":				27017,
    	"steamid":				"90114117198562315",
    	"name":					"[US] Coop #1 [Vanilla | No Ads | No Lag | GFLClan.com]",
    	"appid":				550,
    	"gamedir":				"left4dead2",
    	"version":				"2.1.5.0",
    	"product":				"left4dead2",
    	"region":				0,
    	"players":				0,
    	"max_players":			4,
    	"bots":					0,
    	"map":					"c1m1_hotel",
    	"secure":				true,
    	"dedicated":			true,
    	"os":					"l",
    	"gametype":				"coop,empty,ads,canada,chicago,coop,default,for,game,games,gflcl"
    }

     

    Thanks.

  3. You're connecting to the server on the correct port (27017), right? Keep in mind 27017 is not the default port.

     

    connect 198.50.132.60:27017

     

    If that still doesn't work, are you able to ping the IP by using something like Window's Command Prompt and typing:

    ping 198.50.132.60

     

    You could also try running a MTR with a program such as WinMTR.

     

    Please let me know! I double checked to make sure the ports were forwarded and they are.

     

    Thanks!

    No, this is on my pc, and using both Chrome & Firefox.

    I am able to sign in using my email address, but have customarily done so using the Steam log in.

    I will enable debug logging again once I have the time. I will send you a PM once I've done so and you can try to log in. Hopefully I'll be able to gain more information.

     

    I apologize for this inconvenience. 

     

    Thanks.

  5. Hello everyone, I just wanted to let everyone know the Steam login/integration with the website is fixed! This means you should be able to login and sign up through Steam again.

     

    The Issue

    We use this IPS 4 plugin to handle Steam logins.

     

    After debugging the issue for around an hour, in system/Login/Steam.php I added logging to this area:

    preg_match("#^http://steamcommunity.com/openid/id/([0-9]{17,25})#", $_GET['openid_claimed_id'], $matches);
    $steamID64 = is_numeric($matches[1]) ? $matches[1] : 0;
    \IPS\Log::log($_GET['openid_claimed_id'], 'steam_login');

     

    $_GET['openid_claimed_id'] was returning a HTTPS URL instead of HTTP. I'd assume Steam's OpenID is now going over HTTPS instead of HTTP (probably a recent change). Therefore, simply changing it to check on HTTPS fixed the issue:

    preg_match("#^https://steamcommunity.com/openid/id/([0-9]{17,25})#", $_GET['openid_claimed_id'], $matches);

     

    Before this issue was fixed, this is the error you likely received while trying to login:

    Something went wrong. Please try again.

     

    I hope this helps any others running IPS 4 with the Steam login handler!

     

    Thanks!

  6. Hello everyone, I just wanted to let everyone know HLStatsX should be back up and running! In the last database upgrade we performed, the daemons stopped working. I have fixed this.

     

    I apologize for this inconvenience.

     

    Thanks!

  7. Oh March 29th, I decided to purchase an OVH machine in Canada. Unfortunately, SYS has taken three weeks and still haven't restocked their GAME-3 machine for Canada. After exchanging emails addressing a bug along with asking when machines will be available, I've decided to just purchase an OVH machine due to SYS not knowing when stocks will be available. This is very unfortunate since the SYS GAME-3 machine was $20.00/m cheaper and had an additional 32 GBs of RAM.

     

    I spent the following two - three days setting the new machine up (networking + firewall + machines + control panel). I want to thank @Xy_ for the help with the control panel and game server machine. We are currently working on implementing auto-updates into the control panel. Once this is done, we will set up L4D 1/2 and KF 1/2 servers along with starting our expansion into Garry's Mod, Rust, and other games. We will also be looking into how we can set up servers that need to run on Windows such as Red Orchestra 2 and Chivalry: Medieval Warfare.

     

    I've already sent a request to one geo-location company about getting our OVH IPs (198.50.132.56/29) geo-located to Chicago, US. I've done this for MaxMind so far. I will look for more companies in the future. This can take up to a couple weeks depending on how long it takes MaxMind to respond.

     

    We will be posting an announcement about our expansion into Garry's Mod and other games soon. I just want to finish getting everything set up first.

     

    I just wanted to thank everyone for being so patient while we waited to order the machine along with setting it up.

     

    Thanks!

  8. An Update

    I tried ordering the GAME-3 machine on Monday but ran into a bug while ordering the machine. Currently, when trying to order a GAME-3 machine for Montreal, it displays as France on the order page.

     

    I called SYS support on Monday and they made a ticket stating they escalated the request to their web team. I haven't heard back from them since then. I replied back to the ticket today asking for an update and if it's possible to reserve a GAME-3 machine for us because I notice the machine running out of stock quite often.

     

    Initial ticket email:

    Hey Taylor,


    I apologize for the delay.


    I was wondering if there were any updates regarding this ticket. I saw the machine available again a couple days ago but it displayed as France on the order page.


    Would there be a way to reserve a GAME-3 machine in the Montreal data center for me?


    Thank you for your time! 

     

    I will reply back to this thread once I receive an update from them.

     

    Thank you.

    They know. Seems to be an issue with SRCDS.

    If I remember correctly, Garry's Mod tries loading addons using all lower-case characters. This is fine on Windows because folders aren't case-sensitive. However, on Linux, folder names are case-sensitive. Therefore, if it tries to load "addons/testfolder" but the folder is actually "addons/TestFolder", it won't load.

     

    Not a big deal in my opinion, though. When I first experienced that issue, it did take me an hour to figure it out haha.

     

    Thanks.

    Ah, that is super.  I think this is known to have helped in the past.  I'm assuming, when you say dead servers, TTT will be untouched.  Would a linux machine have better performance?  I thought it was generally more challenging for the leaders unless they are already familiar with linux; I was led to believe, that GMOD is a more difficult to server to faciliate or maintain, and I've noticed its instabilities as a player compared to the counter-strike servers.

    I haven't done any testing between Linux & Windows performance apart from CS:GO. In CS:GO, there is currently a networking thread limitation that I've reported on Valve's GitHub here. We don't plan on running any big CS:GO servers on this machine, though.

     

    Our CS:S servers ran completely fine on Linux and honestly, I'd prefer Linux due to the debugging we are able to do with crashes and so on. Unfortunately, I don't believe SRCDS provides Windows symbols for crash dumps and so on.

     

    As for Garry's Mod, I don't truly know if there is a difference between Windows and Linux regarding performance. The only difference with Linux (apart from being a different operating system) in Garry's Mod that I've noticed is each addon folder must be lower-case. Otherwise, it won't be loaded. This is a bug in Garry's Mod and I will probably report it sometime in the future. Though, it isn't a high priority as of now. We haven't hosted a very popular Garry's Mod server on Linux before, so this will be something new to us. I believe we will be fine.

     

    Other than that, our servers should be performing great with these future machines.

     

    Thanks.

    I'm curious if the GAME-3 is the most economical option, I was under the impression that srcds was CPU limited at higher player counts, I would think with 32 GB of RAM you would max the CPU before you ran out of RAM. Also worth noting that GAME-1 and GAME-2 are 30% off for as long as you keep the server if you order them now, the normal prices for them are $49.99 and $59.99 respectively.

    SRCDS servers do not use much RAM and 32 GBs is more than enough in my opinion. The CPU would indeed be limited before running out of RAM. Now that I think of it, with the Intel i7-4790K and Intel i7-6700K having similar single-threaded performance according to the benchmarks I've seen, we could easily go with GAME-2 and still achieve around the same performance as the GAME-3 machine. I'm going to look around for other benchmarks.

     

    I wasn't aware that those first two machines were on sale. I apologize for not realizing that. I had a feeling $34.30/m for that machine was too good to be true!

     

    I will look further into it and possibly see if purchasing the GAME-2 machine would be best.

     

    Also, here's our RAM usage for one of our NFO machines running 19 online SRCDS servers:

     

    1882026e1af4a6.png

     

    Please note the machine has 32 GBs of RAM total. Therefore, those 19 servers consume a total of 12 GBs of RAM total averagely.

    What does this mean for us?  Will we be moving some of the servers we have?  Will we be opening more or a new server?  Is it all the same stuff at a lower cost or a change in performance?  It's a lot of technical detail, but I'm not absorbing it as anything meaningful.

    Whether or not servers are moved from NFO to this machine is up to the Division Leaders. I believe the Garry's Mod DLs were looking into moving some dead servers from NFO to OVH to see if they would receive more population. When moving from NFO to OVH, the server's IP will change along with location. On a technical level, the operating system will most likely change from Windows to Linux unless if the server is hosted on our NFO VPS which is already running Linux.

     

    With that said, we are going to be opening new servers on this machine in Garry's Mod, Left 4 Dead 1/2, Killing Floor 1/2, and Call of Duty 4.

     

    Thanks.
