I’m sure many of you have noticed by now that the ODR66 servers are offline. This is a result of the most recent patch, which breaks compatibility with our SourceMod plug-in platform.
I apologize for the outage, but Valve has changed the engine headers, and gave no advance notification to developers, or even bothered to record any of the changes to the official SDK.
At last count over 1000+ servers were also down as a result of this issue.
I am faced with either
1.) Ripping out SourceMod and restoring the server to defaults, simple, but fixing this later when a patch is available will be hell.
2.) Putting faith in the SourceMod guys to fix the problem tonight (something they claim to be working on).
I appreciate your patience, and hope you will all be back to the server once service is restored!
Thanks

indeed. I’d be willing to wait a day or two in exchange for fewer headaches later

You would think Valve would have the courtesy to warn us…seeing as they have relied on SourceMod to develop an administration for them.

Hey all,
Just a helpful tip. I run the khello servers and in order to bypass this problem for now, I simply renamed the sourcemod vdf file so it doesn’t load. The server now runs, and I will just rename it again when the problem is fixed. Hope this helps you guys too!

Do not get rid of soucemod, we’d loose all our bans!

Thanks Impulse,
We implemented this fix last night around midnight, it’s indeed allowed us to boot the server.
It’s still an unfortunate situation.
