AMX issue with latest Steam update?

redmist · **Author**

I just got this message from my server provider...Is this because of a Steam update or something??

"At the moment AMX mod seems to be failing on all our servers, therefore we have temporarily disabled it, until we can resolve this matter. Sorry for any inconveniences this causes."

Can you confirm if its amxmodx or amx? Can you also name the provider and provide a link.

As it stands, neither amxmodx or amx have any problems with the current HLDS builds and its more likely a provider error. Indeed, we became aware of a server provider that was installing amx 0.9.3 still on servers and that has never been steam compliant. Some server providers are not that good on the metamod plugins side.

Just to confirm, this seems to be an issue with metamod. I removed AMXX from the plugins.ini and the server still crashes on restart. It works fine as soon as I remove metamod from liblist.gam altogether.

It was working fine last week and there were several servers running AMXX 1.50. There were also a few running AMX 0.9.9 and they've been reverted back to non-metamod servers too.

The server provider is: http://steelservers.net/
They said that they are working on a solution.

Bailopan, or one of the other metamod team, would be best to answer the metamod issues. Chances are the server provider is using an old version of metamod. The current version and previous versions are fine with HLDS.

Well, I actually have control over which version of metamod is run on the server and the latest version 1.18p24 that worked fine last week is suddenly crashing the servers. (Unless metamod crashes when there's nothing in the plugins.ini)

Are they linux servers? There are quite a lot of posts on the linux hlds mailing lists with some linux distros having problems with the VAC2 changes.

Yes, they were Linux servers. Metamod 1.18 seems to have fixed the issue. Thanks for your help.
