Dr. Kitteny Berk Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 TF2 is beginning to give me the rage, so i'm hoping someone here has some idea how to fix this My server has been loading some maps veeeery slowly due to hundreds of errors like this one cmaterial::precachevars: error loading vmt file for maps/cp_gravelpit/nature/blendbackgroundtograve1004_wvt_patch I've reinstalled the server a few times, I've tried downloading on other machines and I've tried replacing most of the server map/texture etc files with ones from my GCFs. However, the issue still remains, but it varies on each map, some will load instantly, others will take a few minutes. Also, anyone know why I'd be having trouble signing up to the hlds mailing list? Cheers muchly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECF Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 First I have heard of this. We had one problem similar to this where a map would not load. But that was due to valve putting out a STEAM client update without warning. A quick server update and all was good again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Kitteny Berk Posted October 22, 2007 Author Share Posted October 22, 2007 Yeah, it's a weird one, as the map still loads fine usually, just takes a long time. However, I can't imagine I'm the only one having the texture loading errors appearing, as the same thing happens on my local machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECF Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 I belong to the HLDS mailing list, and I haven't seen anyone post about this issue that I can remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Kitteny Berk Posted October 22, 2007 Author Share Posted October 22, 2007 Very odd. Might just be a sign it's time to retire that server out of a window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Kitteny Berk Posted October 23, 2007 Author Share Posted October 23, 2007 Well, I got that fixed, by minimizing the console window, i'd left it interacting with desktop for some other troubleshooting and never considered that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECF Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Hmmmmm.... we had one running for a while with the console open on the desktop and never saw any issues with it. These game become stranger every release. Also remember that when the server changes maps I think the console will maximize again. Or at least when the game is restarted. So you may want to disable the interact feature for it alltogether. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Kitteny Berk Posted October 24, 2007 Author Share Posted October 24, 2007 Yup, I've disabled interact with desktop now it's behaving. I think TF2 has gone through the usual valve process very quickly, It was almost perfect a few updates ago, now they're introducing the sporting errors.
