jrose78 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Ok, Now my server does not show when I put the lan filter on. What did you change there? It shows in the wan but not the lan. So there is no way for me to connect now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkXero Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Any explanation on the Steam backend and port stuff? Not sure how that's different from the current ports we set up / what we use it for / how we use it. This. Does this affect normal portforwarding the 10999? They need to be disabled to not interfere or something? I tried running my server, from the executable, with steam open, but unlike before, now I can't see it either online or on LAN. The last lines on my log are a Reset() and a GetSteamID something right after. And after I close the server because I can't do anything with it, two assert errors appear, that I can't get because they don't get recorded on the log somehow. Will try downloading everything and resetting everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afetogbo Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Is there a way to disable the uptodate check for mods? I can't connect to my server unless i update the mods on the server. I shouldn't have to do that if i don't want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Developer MarkL Posted March 4, 2015 Developer Share Posted March 4, 2015 @rezecib, Dedicated server backend ports are optional (if Steam communication fails, the server should still start). The Steam integration released in this patch allows you to join your friends on Dedicated Servers through your friends list, and will provide more of the Steam browser protocol moving forward. Pieces will slowly be added. @jrose78, LAN was broken in this patch, but an update come out today which restored functionality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellina Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 How is the multi threaded renderer working? I have it enabled but don't see much of a performance boost .... I added it to my settings.ini and instead of 1 core at 100% its, core 1,80%, core 2, 20%, core 3, 5 percent, and less and less...I realize it's still a WIP.

rezecib Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 @Bellina, Well, offloading 20% of the load is still a pretty nice improvement. I don't think the threaded renderer will be able to pull much more off, the rest of the bottleneck is coming from the game simulation. Have you tried the threaded physics? That should offload collision, I think, at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellina Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I have all the beta options enabled. Doesn't really change much but still improvement , yes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KogaBee Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Are dedicated servers walled for specific steam groups on the horizon? I really loved that feature in the left for dead 2 server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developer bizziboi Posted March 5, 2015 Developer Share Posted March 5, 2015 @Bellina, The threaded renderer can only give back time that would be lost on rendering. Depending on your system, and what is going on on screen that can be more or less. Unfortunately in your case it's apparently only 20%, but it does at least free up those 20% for other stuff. Similarly with the physics, it really depends on the scene and the system what the actual gain is...it can be as little as 5%, or as much as 40%.I'm definitely looking into gaining more performance in other areas. Do note that the features are experimental, stability is still being tested, so please report any issues you might attribute to using them.
