Server News: Problems mostly solved

L4D2

It seems that there are only some connection problems left.
Maybe it is due to some custom maps.
We will have a look at that.
"Resident Evil" map has been disabled therefore.
"Claustrophobia" map always crashes in the hidden armory in map 5 (but it may be possible not to enter the armory to progress through the map anyway)

Some clients had problems when connecting the first time.
The first connection ended just with a black screen on the client.
The second connection then worked.
If you get a black screen after the loading bar has finished,
try to connect again or connect to some of the other servers.

We are also testing some new plugins to improved the "Realism" experience even more:

• Throw grenades when you are incapped
• Stick grenades to normal and special infected
• slight health regeneration (e.g. to 40%)
• boomer explosion does damage too and blinds you more (HUD is removed)

Currently we test then on port 27019
If they are stable they will be installed on the other servers too.

We have also created a "Realism Survival" server.
Testing happens on 27020.
Custom maps will come there too.

L4D1

We started on new L4D1 server on 27013.
Same configuration as 27014 and 27015.
Clients which cannot connect to 27014 or 27015 should try to connect to 27013.
