NEWS TF2 Converting to Steampipe Tonight

[Shotgun Jesus]

Info: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=7388-QPFN-2491

Team Fortress 2 is scheduled to be converted over to Steampipe later tonight. There is a good chance the update will break SourceMod, and perhaps some of the plugins installed (Donator Perks included).

Hopefully the SourceMod devs are on it and there won't be much interruption, but who knows?

Please be patient if the servers do not operate normally tonight.

 

[Brades]

I'm going to be out of town tonight until next week.

CS:S?

I've been stuck on 4% for the last 5 min.

 

[Shotgun Jesus]

This AIDS started already?

This AIDS started already?

Yeah. It's been half an hour since I started. Now I'm at 23%.

 

[Cmp™]

Mine decided that it didn't want to respond, so it froze. :c Still frozen after 5 minutes.

 

[Shotgun Jesus]

The server isn't having this shit either. Might be a while.

Ok, guys. Toronto is completely converted to Steam Pipe. Latest snapshots of SourceMod and MetaMod have been loaded. Only two plugins seem to be not working:

Load Errors:
Basic Votes: Error detected in plugin startup (see error logs)
Basic Commands: Error detected in plugin startup (see error logs)

Let us know if there are any problems on Toronto. As for Chicago 1-4, New York, and Dallas, we are at the whim of the host as we do not own those boxes. Sadly, this switch to Steam Pipe may in fact permanently kill those 6 non-Toronto servers.

So the update had an error, so I had to restart it. It's at 64% right now. Hopefully it goes through. This update requires a lot of time, a lot more than just the "few minutes" that the dialog box says. Be prepared to wait a bit, guys ._.

You're downloading the whole game, so it's a few GBs.

I started my convert a few mins ago and I'm at 64%. Sucker.

wtf is a steam pipe?

It's Steam's newer content delivery system. CSGO and CSS were already on it.
