Title: [LINUX BUG] Unable to chat ingame
Post by: SilverEye on February 16, 2009, 04:37:32 am

The server is Linux. Whenever anyone tries to chat ingame to another player no next appears. Their console reads:

Unknown command: say

Chatting does work on other servers but not this one. What should I look at? Everything else seems to work fine.

Our linux build is having issues and we cant work out why. We are still trying to get it to work.

It is likely similar to when a valve update broke some things with linux servers in hl2 Deathmatch. so it even happens on official games.

Like lodle said, we will still have the coders try troubleshoot it.

I know htis is not a fix and you guys do wanto to and will fix it but I strongly recomend when Valve and source engine is concerned to use a windows based server not becasue it not working now but who knows when Valve will release an update that breaks linux servers it has happend many times in the past.
