Half-Life 1 Engine Update released (3-20-09)

I guess Valve doesn't sleep either.

This is a beta for HL1. I'm guessing it adds steam support (which is a good thing). Update with -beta 0319 for beta testing. The final update should go life "soon."

Server changes:
- Fixed players being kicked from servers with an INVALID_STEAM_TICKET rejection
- Added a message to the server console to show when the server has reconnected to Steam
- Made map name and other variables reported by the server stay more current
- Show HLTV being connected in the player count for pings
- Fixed occasional crash under Linux on startup for SMP machines

This update won't be in beta long, so don't delay your testing.

dam, nice job wasting time on old games, instead of fixing the new ones


Who still plays HL1?

High five to Valve for fixing that 10 year old game when I am still waiting for Episode 3.
