Vauff 965 / 17,001 Report Post Posted May 1, 2021 The recent CS:GO update has broken the loading of certain custom textures in maps. You can read about the technical details here: https://discord.com/channels/223673175571955712/420095739562295296/837891744875544657 Currently, these maps on GFL have been discovered to be experiencing the issue to a minor degree (map still mostly playable) ze_Naruto_p ze_Serpentis_Temple_p2 ze_biohazard2_rpd_004_p3 ze_biohazard_manor_004_p4 ze_boredom_p ze_diddle_v3 ze_draco_accidere_v4_final ze_frozentemple_rc1_1 ze_inboxed_final_fix ze_isla_nublar_p3 ze_jurassicpark_escape_p2 ze_kitchen_v2 ze_pkmn_adventure_v9_3 ze_star_wars_prequel_f1 ze_tkara_v4_3 ze_trials_v3_test ze_tyranny2_v1_csgo2 Unfortunately, we are also removing the following maps that have been significantly hindered, or been made entirely unplayable by the amount of textures that broke in them ze_cancer_gopnik_escape_v8 ze_core_v1g ze_easy_escape_r ze_luck_matters_v3_1 Some mappers may be choosing to release updates to these maps themselves now, but we won't be starting any mass recompiling efforts for at least a few weeks as Valve may still patch this issue themselves Note that these lists are still subject to change, as we could only easily do mass automatic searches for the issue when it presented in VMF files (VMT files can also cause this) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vauff 965 / 17,001 Report Post Posted July 22, 2021 Edited July 22, 2021 by Vauff As some of you may already be aware, back in December we started efforts to move the server to Linux (info about this available at https://gflclan.com/forums/topic/67733-csgo-ze-linux-incoming/). Unfortunately, multiple issues came up in the months after this that prevented us from ever properly moving forward on that server, such as difficulty getting access to a different non-overloaded machine, and general instability with the Anycast network that became a big problem in the months after we started work on this. However we still wanted to move to Linux and get a long needed CPU upgrade, so we recently purchased a new Linux machine from NFO with the following specs The main differences from the previous plan include that we are not changing hosts, so we will keep our 216.52.148.47 IP address and also be staying in Chicago. We're also getting less of a CPU upgrade than we would've been before, but will still be a good boost coming from our current E3-1275 v6. We have been getting the new server ready over the past couple of days, and are now ready to announce a beta test for tomorrow, Friday July 23 @ 5 PM Central. For the duration of the test, we will simply be using an IP redirect from the current IP to a temporary IP so we have the ability to quickly change back if anything goes wrong. Should everything go fine in the test, we will be switching over to this server full time this weekend, including moving our current IP to point to this server.

Vauff 965 / 17,001 Report Post Posted October 9, 2021 Edited October 9, 2021 by Vauff We're temporarily disabling some stuff on the server to try and diagnose the cause of recent client crashes after the Operation Riptide update. This probably won't be in place for long, but do expect things to come and go over the next couple of days.

Vauff 965 / 17,001 Report Post Posted October 13, 2021 We've finished the debugging mentioned above, and have identified the cause of the client crashing to be some models compiled with old animations, these models were: - Half-Life Zombie (Public) - Zombie (Public) - Female Zombie (Public) - Combine (Admin) These models have been removed, and we will be looking to update or replace them in the near future. Since we lost all our public zombie skins to this issue, we have temporarily changed the Member Gorefast and Mummy skins to be public access instead.

Vauff 965 / 17,001 Report Post Posted October 14, 2021 Client preferences have been reset, we do this every few years to clear the database of old cookies, and data for players who are long gone (we had nearly 5 million cookies saved!). This means you will have to readjust your settings the next time you join. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vauff 965 / 17,001 Report Post Posted February 23, 2022 A new plugin has been added to the server that allows custom particles to be precached even in your first playthrough after downloading a map, This means retrying for particles is now a thing of the past, and auto retry has been removed accordingly. Please let us know if any issues come up regarding particles as a result of this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
