As far as I know, no one has touched the servers for about a month now; the servers reboot automatically if they are empty.

Rebooting the servers during a game is bad mojo. Don't deny you do it... much too frequently. I like your mods, but you're constantly ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ with the configs. Hard to find a decent game now amongst your empty servers. Cheers.

Please try again later or try restart Steam.

My points erased on #3, STEAM validation rejected on #1..... guess I'll try again later?

Hello.

IP's changed so that's probably the biggest factor causing that, people had it saved in favourites, bookmarks etc.
I added back the original server names, full name is showed up in steam server browser for example:

HAVEN COOP #1 | Massive Hordes | !buy/!stats but in game main menu it will show HAVEN COOP #1
also after you click on the server in game, on the right you'll see those details aswell.


All Servers migrated successfully.
Announcement: https://v1.steam.hlxgame.cc/groups/L4D2-COOP-Multi/announcements/detail/532125218178596984

Migrating to other host had to be done anyway to cut down costs by 40% as i never did take any donations towards the server costs, but website is coming soon and everything will be there. https://haven-official.com

More new servers coming soon!

Trying to seed the servers, but we need more community members to help. Very few players now. A real shame. Not sure the relocation has worked.

I fear too many changes too fast. One month ago, it was often hard to find a slot on these servers. Now, they are almost always empty. I would stop renaming them with your 3 letter code/version. I'm sure that it's easier for you to see what changes are running, but you may be putting off the original member base who see all these changes and decides to not play here anymore. Maybe I'm wrong, but nobody is playing. Still appreciate what you're doing.

Sounds very good.
Thank you for your work.

We are very happy for the feedback, we need it in all forms, Ren is gonna take care of sorting that "modded servers" to be displayed i had this case before aswell, somebody was saying im cheating where it was only !buy options. We will continue to improve the servers. Blacklist is disabled but does not mean that we can't re-enable it.

Advertisements about servers being modded are already in place since the beginning but it displays every some time, ill change some of them to make them more visible.

Keep the feedback coming.

I'm going to rifle through my old file archive as an op. Mind you, we were coding/scripting under the Valve game code running on Win2003 servers more than 20 years ago... a much more unstable time on the Source engine. We also had a 15yo prodigy writing C+ for us. This kid actually invented the teleporters in NS that was picked up my Valve and added to the TF2 engineer tools. Ahhh... good times.

If I find anything useful, I'll contact you. Best.

Yes, we will do something similar and place text on each player's screen in the future

Hello
I am really enjoying you'r servers and want to say thank you for your work. :)
But there is a small detail what annoys me, even more often then before immigration of the servers.
So i was wondering if you can do me a favor...
I never was so often accussed as a cheater before the last weekend.
Its really ridiculous how many other players blame me so far because of serversettings and the options its bringing with it.^^

So here is my question if you could do me please the favor and make a "mark" that this servers are "MODDED" servers??!!
I mean a "mark" in a way that every blind guy can see it.

best regards and keep it up,
røb

We'll see what we can do

At the moment, this is technically impossible, since the plugin works with IP addresses, not SteamIDs. If you have another plugin, you can suggest it.

Consider rewriting that plugin to disable blacklists if steamID = admin. Pretty straightforward. That way your playerbase isn't subjected to people that they don't like. Your current ban method requires too much administrative overhead. The above solution would take less of your time. I used this method back when I was server op on 3 Natural Selection game servers. Worked like a charm.

We really appreciate your feedback.

Okay then. Discord is a major security problem despite it's popularity. I will not use it. If you have disabled steam blocks, I'm gone. Too many ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ruining gameplay on your servers. Bye.

We've developed a plugin that disables blacklists, so you won't be able to, for example, blacklist an administrator and prevent them from joining a game. You can report problematic players here or on Discord, and we'll permanently ban them from the server. All we need to ban a player is their SteamID or a link to their profile.

Just started a game on coop1 when a player I have steam blocked was able to join the server and ruin the game. Normally, I would think this is a steam problem, but thought you would like to know in case any svars are leaking. Playername: bobakata - exploiting the mods to jump the game maps.

Wow, that's nice, thank you for kind words, really appreciate it, are you in our discord already? Join us on discord, share your suggestions, ideas with us!

Looks like things are settling in now. FYI, back in the day I was server admin for a friend. We ran 8 TF2 servers, 3 Natural Selection servers, and community boards for over 11K player/members. I know how much work is involved and really appreciate your game servers. Big props to you!

They all not set up yet but i see the ping is higher, still testing.

New host servers are +30ms slower, no points.... can't play anymore. Good luck.

Ban appeals take place in the Discord server

can someone unban me on survival mode?

Everyone who was banned at COOP 5 has been unbanned. The remaining servers are unchanged at the moment.

@76561199642928940
@76561199010927453

Yes, this is an anti-cheat issue, it will be fixed within a week. At the moment there is no way to unban right now.

i got banned ? reason bhop. I just bought in !buy menu

I was on holiday, SSD was full, had to clean temp files, will automate it to prevent this from happening again in the future, COOP #8 is back online.

i think it got taken down

Hello, is COOP #8 online ? I can't see it.

ban me on your all servers please

somehow i got banned from one of the servers for bhopping while using auto bhop

Servers are up and running, maybe they were restarting because last player left the game.

Oh no's! Servers offline on Thanksgiving Day! What shall I do all day?!? Jk... hope to see them up and running soon.

As a Hater of modded server (yup i do lol) This server is the only one i actually enjoy playing on. the versus is nice with Cool Staff and the 100 Tickrate make it way better even tho it make the hunter ceiling and Bhop harder (Not impossible)

anyone active wanna play and join discord with us ?

the best servers ever <3

Bhop works fine for me, seen other people using it aswell no problems.

why does autobhop jump badly as if he does 100 jumps per second?

That bhop is a plugin, that's how it is by default, you can buy it using !buy, turn it on/off in !buy menu under special bag.

SourceTV will also be installed to monitor gameplay, footage can be used to confirm reports that are valid.

Hey!

Thank you very much for reporting this matter.

I'll be honest, it's gonna be hard to tackle this problem, unless like you said i ban range IP whole Turkey, which i don't really wanna do.

I'm gonna be making plugins to detect spam behaviour, griefing of all sorts but this is gonna take time, all servers are configured to minimize griefing/abuse but still there is a lot to fix on the servers regarding griefing, !report (playername) reason plugin is coming to all servers, reports will be checked using server logs against the reported player, if false, whoever reported will be banned.

I see people enjoy the servers, i love that, it started from 1 server where i just created it for myself to have fun, enjoy some of my free time to play modified L4D2 experience, i don't understand griefing ingame, just move on, leave, let the people play, it's just a game.

Last 6 months players from Turkey flooding your servers. Every one I have encountered was rude, TKing, using vulgar language, no teamwork, griefing, etc. EVERY SINGLE ONE. They are ruining the games on your servers. I would respectfully suggest you block all Turkish IPs from your servers before they wreck them. As a former sysop for many game servers, I would not hesitate. Thank you for all your hard work.

cool server :)

I'll need to dig deeper into that, please next time if you see it offline, provide date & time and timezone so ill check what is going on.

Looks like SURVIVAL #9 is down again :DDD
TreSky, sorry dude for writing this again :D

SURVIVAL is up and running, nobody blocked anybody here, very weird.

Can't connect to SURVIVAL #9
One or more members have blocked you from joining
Looks like bug or I've really blocked?
