We'd like to apologize for the extended issues with in-game scramble since the most recent update. We finally managed to track down the cause and a fix should be rolling out now as each server empties out and restarts.
It took way too long to figure out and that's on me - some bad assumptions and sourcemod Ninja-replacing a file between my editing it and then taking a copy to the correct location meant the initial fix didn't actually apply - and we went down a rabbit hole trying to figure out why it still wasn't working and failed to double-check the copied file.

The good news is the same issue appears to have been the reason behind Dodgeball also being broken. I'd like to test it a little more first before I put it back up though - but initial sniff tests looked good so you can expect to see its return this coming weekend if all goes well.

Unfortunately, PropHunt still has some issues we need to dig into, so alas it's not quite ready to come back yet I'll keep y'all posted.

We'll be doing some maintenance work on our HLStats database this coming weekend. Our game servers will remain up but we expect that event logging and the stats website will have reduced availability during the maintenance window.

We hope this upgrade will address some of the lingering performance issues with the system once it is fully complete; we'll be doing a little more work on other areas of the system once the database work is done, but we expect this follow on work to be largely transparent.

Hey folks!

We're going to be looking to do some maintenance on our physical NA server infrastructure this coming weekend. Unfortunately this means we'll need to take our NA servers offline for an extended period while the physical machine is being serviced. Given the nature of what we'll be doing it is difficult to provide a detailed time frame - at minimum the time has come to do a bit of de-cluttering and a fresh OS install on the box (could take several hours, accounting for taking backups, doing the install, re-configuring, and restoring data) and in addition we're seeing some signs one of the memory modules on the server might be failing so I'd like to take the opportunity to run a memory check and have our provider service the machine if necessary (potentially another couple of hours for the check, no idea how long a support incident would take to resolve).

I'll try to have things back as quickly as possible, and apologies in advance for the inconvenience; I'm not a fan of downtime but better we address this on a schedule.
