Imagine my dismay at seeing this in steam this evening.

Product Update - Valve 17:41
Updates to Counter-Strike: Source, Day of Defeat: Source and Half-Life 2: Deathmatch have been released. The updates will be applied automatically when your Steam client is restarted. The major changes include:

Added "Only allow map files" to the possible selections in the download filter option for clients
Network interpolation and update convars can no longer be changed when playing. To configure these convars, players must not be connected to a server or must join the spectators.
Fixed a client crash related to the material system
Fixed a client crash when downloading custom maps for the Mac version
Fixed browser cookies not persisting across game restarts
Fixed the in-game UI not using the Language setting from the game's Properties dialog in the Steam UI
Fixed the game failing to launch on Mac OS X 10.5
Fixed mat_viewportupscale using an error material for clients using DirectX8
Removed range restrictions from viewmodel_fov_demo
Updated the Linux version
Fixed triggers never registering as "released" on certain game controllers
Fixed clipboard issues on some window managers, most notably KDE
Fixed a bug where the map list would be reversed
Made loading custom fonts for third party HUDs work on certain fonts
Improved performance and stability

and then to see no players playing. Gotta be Valve breaking the game again.

A stealth Steam update? Is L4DOD dead? Oh no! You mean I have to deal with real life?! Oh the horror!

It's down until Dog returns from Vacation. Unless he gave Stutter or one of the other Server Ops guys the needed info to restart it.

To whoever restarted IX, thank you. RL(real life) is depressing and I need some escapism once in a while. Is IV down? Since the last update I haven't seen anyone on it.

Hi All,

I really enjoy the L4dod servers. I'm a newbie, played about 6 months ago for a few months and came back last week (as Abby Normal). i have a few humble suggestions/requests

I seem to run out of ammo on a regular basis. Could you add a few more clips, or have them drop more often, or can you buy them in the store?

It seems like the hellspawn drop a healthpack most times after being killed, but there I've noticed a delay of a few seconds.

thanks for the great server to play on.

Thank you for the input Super Chicken. And Sonja Dog has been out of pocket on vacation or as he calls it "Holiday". I'm sure that as soon as he returns home and gets settled in, he'll fix it.
