Halflife: [CS 1.6 Beta build 5961] Motd dont work

[Kremnev]

After the last update said that joining the server "welcome screen" (MOTD) disappeared.

Resolution changes also do not affect it.
Tried to play to the old and update server, also do not affect it.

p.s.
Sorry my english)

[hotactions]

@Kremnev same here +1

[alfred-valve]

What are your OS details? And can you post the IP address of the server you are joining please.

[revo4ever]

[Kremnev]

@ alfred-valve
OS, Windows XP (SP3)
This is bug the client, not the server.

All servers, and dont show "New Game"

[Netii]

Same here happens on every server, even when host listen server! Windows 8 pro 64bit

[Freeman-AM]

It's not sometimes, it's all the time for me.

[PM32]

Any answer to this yet?

[revo4ever]

So. Some people have the MOTD works, but in my case, MOTD does not work never with the 59XX Builds

You're not in beta. :calendar: However, I can see their standart MOTD page on 5971 build.

[revo4ever]

@vjatseslav lol, I actived Beta - Beta on steam for enable the CS Beta, today i get an update ..

[ghost]

@revo4ever you need to activate Beta for both Half-Life 1 and Counter-Strike 1.6 to get the latest version.
However, I don't see MOTD even on local server

[revo4ever]

@MaxKorz, i have CS and i actived the Beta, i don't own HL1

[ghost]

@revo4ever It is a Steam bug, you can't get the latest beta version of CS if you don't own HL1. So you can't get the latest beta right now, you have to wait for Valve to fix it.

[revo4ever]

OK :(

[ghost]

@alfred-valve why the issue is closed? It's not fixed. I don't see motd even when I create localhost game

[alfred-valve]

I fixed a bug like this yesterday, make sure you have the beta install

[vjatseslav]

Fixed to me.

[ghost]

You fixed this issue https://github.com/ValveSoftware/halflife/issues/658 but I don't see MOTD and I don't change my screen resolution

Do you need something else? MOTD stills bugged...

[ghost]

The "message" frame exists

It even has control buttons

but it doesn't work

[Freeman-AM]

Same as metalicross problem.

[ghost]

[ghost]

After the latest update (when -glext argument was added), MOTD works again in Counter-Strike 1.6.
The problem still exists in CS:CZ and Half-Life.

UPD. I reinstalled the game, problem appeard again :( Then I restored my config.cfg and userconfig.cfg and problem was fixed! I'm going to find out what's causing it.

UPD2. I found it! It's not my config. If I create a cstrike_addon folder and allow the game to use it, motd_temp.html file creates in this folder. If cstrike_addon doesn't exist, the file cannot be created and MOTD can't be shown. "czero_addon" folder fixes MOTD in CS:CZ

I assume MOTD doesn't work in Half-Life by design?

[alfred-valve]

Yes, Half-Life uses the older text only MOTD still, so that is by design.
Good find on the motd, I was seeing it fail on DoD too, I can dig into it now, thanks!

[Freeman-AM]

Sadly, no i'm on cs beta and i still have motd problem, even after the update.
I will not post another screens, it's like the previous ones.

Is it possible that this issue is related to screenshots issue ?

[Freeman-AM]

Yeah ! Now it's working.

[Doctros]

Ok, so what is the answer? I am still having this issue on both of my rented servers. One running Windows and the other running on Linux. Both still have the same issue and everyone that joins my servers can't see the MOTD that they were able to see just fine before the 2013 update.

[ghost]

@Doctros it's a client-side issue. Opt in beta to grab the latest update.

[jabirakss]

This Will work
