View Full Version : VALVe: Serious Logging Issue in CS:Source since BETA!

Hello !

Many of you dont know it... but many people are already beginning with some kind of stats logging. I just wanted to inform you, that the current state of the cs:s dedicated server version does not allow accurate log parsing ala PsychoStats, HLStats...!

The Log Output of CS:S sometimes misses connect lines as well as entered the game lines. Well this wouldnt be much of a problem if there were not the problem that sometimes KILLS get logged as suicides! (Log_level 15 does not help!)

I got log files even from servers all over the world and tried it (I guess this were all windows servers) and I could verify the missing log lines.

You can also track when this happens. Just open the Server in VGUI mode and look at the Players TAB -> You will see that sometimes players are playing on the server but not showing up in this tab! Exactly when this happens -> Everyone who kills a player not in this players list get logged as being suicided!

I tested it with standard configs, log_levels, console mode, VGUI mode, I got logs from different servers -> everywhere the same problem! We really have to push this to valve so they will know it. I reported this problem since the BETA but it always got ignored!

Kind regards and plz help us fix this,
LD

Nope Log_Level 15 doesn't help a bit.... I just looked at your hlstats statistics Croakert -> sorry you have the same bugs as we all :(

VALVe hast to fix this otherwise we can never do any serious or accurate log parsing...

Kind regards,
LD

Same story for me. It does log "something", but not all the kills and connections. What's worst is that it even logs some kills as suicides and that really screws up the purpose of generating stats from the logs IMHO.

I hope this issue is pretty high on Valve's TOFIX list.

submit it via a bug report not the forums.

I believe the correct response is to ask if it has been logged as a bug via the correct channels. There is no harm in reporting it on the forums either. But it may help if you haven't yet to report it as a bug via CS S. That may bring it to the correct people's eyesight a bit faster.

Is anyone else still having this problem ?

Checking the output from UDP logging it seems that a lot of information is vanishing into the ether. HLstats results are completely busted because of this. As far as I can see there's no problems at our end, but I can't reconcile the output I'm seeing in the log information getting sent via logaddress_add with what is happening when I'm in a server.

(edit: all servers are on windows)
