Re: [cobalt-users] Game servers

["APS" <sculthorpe@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

beware.. this can cause a lot of problems, particularly with a popular game like counterstrike,
not so much as the bandwidth used during gameplay but when your server is in the master lists
the load put on your server from half the world hitting the 'refresh server' button in gamespy can
be HUGE! and cause problems..

also unless you have a RAQ with SCSI and RAID you may well have trouble when the game
restarts, personally I would suggest staying well away from it, unless you use the -nomaster
switch in the hlds startup command line ;)

good luck
