hello,rnrnsince the steamupdate the beloved dod was kicked buggy ;rnrnnearly daily the valve-freak pushed out an update of steam hl1-serversoft, but it did NOT fix all bugs! :-(rnrnI noticed that the following bugs:rn-cvars randomly seams to be not setted right , e.g. the timeleft.rn-the entity-management is wasted , e.g. player get points in scoreboard that they dont have done. (that is very bad bcoz the base of all plugins are mostly the entities of the players!!) :-(rn-the clientside game ist crashing(clientside!) after some steamupdate still after a longer while (ca. 30-60 mins).rn-threated sql-request seams to work not 100 percent of the time for now.rn-set_task(maybe same base-bug of the previous point!) dont work 100 percent of the time correkt.rnrnrnI hope that valve will fix all that bugs very soon...

simple to check this:rnjust take an look on your server in hlsw - you will see that the timeleft is not updating correct anymore - thats an reason and result of cvar-bug and set_task-bug.rnrnthe other bugs can only be noticed if your observe the scoreboard very smart or watching some effect on the server - sometimes(rare) they launched at the wrong player(entity).

I noticed this as well. I had a timeleft of 99 mins, because I noticed the longer the map time, the more lag it produces I had mine set on 60, yet timeleft showed me 99 mins.rnrnThere is also the client sided problem of changing your name. In DoD source your name reflects the name in your Steam ID page. Heck, I have so many people called player now a days because nobody know how to change their name (for example through console: name "name").rnrnWhen will we see an update...I really hope not in the near future...the last update made me trash my bankaccount and the Dutch coffeeshop had a new regular visitor.

oh youre talking about the query stuff of servers.. i see.. HLSW doesnt report the timeleft and all.. but its still working ingame just finenneither the query protocol was changed or its not outputting properly to it, but its still working (amx_timeleft in rcon is still fine)nnive always had trouble with public cvars on my server, and ive always figured it was cause there is so many and im always having like half of them not showing (this has been happening way before this update)nni dont see what that has to do with a set_task bug of any sort.. i use set_task's in a ton of plugins and havent had a single noticable problem with any of them not working properly

There is however a fix for that created by AnAkIn and can be found here:rnrnlinkrnrnI used this myself and it works. So it would be a temp name fix.
