  SunLit Games - It's Been Fun Posted by RosietheRiveter - 23 Reads 
SunLitGamesIt's been fun

It is with some sadness that we have to announce that our game servers will be terminated sometime before March 9.  Our website will also be down-sized considerably.  It is the end of an era here at SunLit Games, as we have had an active website and game servers running since our beginnings as a Half-Life community over twelve years ago.

Our community is just not very active anymore, and it makes no sense to continue paying for a dedicated server that runs game server instances that are empty of players most of the time and for a dedicated web server that we don't need. So, it is time for us to re-configure our resources to match our current level of activity.  Our focus from this point forward will be providing a basic website with some forums so that all the people that have made great friendships through this community over the years will have an easy way to stay in touch with each other.

We would like to say that it has been an honor and a privilege to be able to run this place for these many years. We have met some great people and had a lot of fun playing with all of you. And we'd both like to say a very heartfelt thank you to everyone who has helped us over the years -- all the people who donated their hard-earned cash, the people who helped us with the website, who helped run the SLDL, and of course the tireless efforts of our Enforcers back in our heyday.

Finally, if there are any of you out there who would like to take over running the SunLit site or game servers, please contact us or post in the forums.

Rosie and Pvt. John

  BF3 Players being targeted by hackers Posted by RosietheRiveter - 44 Reads 
Battlefield 3I know some of you play BF3. Here is a heads up on hackers attacking servers using Punkbuster and players being framed as cheaters.

EA recommends players avoid playing on servers requiring the software.
"We are actively looking into the specifics of this issue and we are confident that we will have a permanent solution in place shortly. In the meantime, if a player's connectivity has been affected, we recommend that in the interim they join servers that are not running PunkBuster. There is a filter setting for this in the multiplayer server browser," an EA spokesperson said.

  Left 4 Dead 2 Servers Posted by RosietheRiveter - 81 Reads 
Left4Dead 2The last L4D2 update corrupted the servers' steamclient.dll file and we will need to wait for Valve to release a patch or roll back the file for a permanent fix.

In the meantime, copying the file from the TF2 server over to L4D2 seems to do the trick.Both servers up and running again

  Bioshock Series Sale Posted by RosietheRiveter - 139 Reads 
SteamThe Bioshock series is older but for $4.99 for each of I and II , its a real deal.
I found Bioshock I to be more entertaining but $4.99 to return to Rapture in Bioshock II isn't bad.

  BRINK Free Weekend Posted by RosietheRiveter - 344 Reads 
Brink"Hot on the heels of the Clans & Tournaments update, we're excited to announce that the PC version of Brink is currently completely free to play on Steam. You'll be able to enjoy the full game including all of the new clan features until this Sunday at 9 PM UK time. Better yet, Brink, the Agents of Change add-on pack, and the character customisation packs are all 75% off on Steam ($6.49) during this time, so this is a great time to pick it up if you want to keep playing or are looking to extend your Brink collection." - Source

  BF3: Dice screwed up BF3 after last update - Petition Posted by RosietheRiveter - 267 Reads 
Battlefield 3Please sign this petition help getting this fixed ASAP. (Sign in with battlelog login) - JonnyLaw

Primary issues are that in order to counter stat padding, they set a minimum of 4 players before server/map starts. That effectively means that you can not move until there 4 or more players on the server.

On top of that the update included forced idle kick time. Which means that since you are not moving you will automatically be kicked, even if you are moving your mouse and using the keyboard.

This makes it close to impossible to seed servers, as you spend loads of time being stuck waiting for 4 players to join, just to get kicked after a couple of minutes.
This is something that are making server owners drop their BF3 servers.

The worst part is that this is not a new problem!
This was a highly criticized problem in BF2, BF2142 and BFBC2. The optimal solution, of course, would be to disable stats until player count is up to 4 or more.

  STEAM Billing Info Also Comprimised Posted by RosietheRiveter - 275 Reads 
Steam"Dear Steam Users and Steam Forum Users:

Our Steam forums were defaced on the evening of Sunday, November 6. We began investigating and found that the intrusion goes beyond the Steam forums.

We learned that intruders obtained access to a Steam database in addition to the forums. This database contained information including user names, hashed and salted passwords, game purchases, email addresses, billing addresses and encrypted credit card information. We do not have evidence that encrypted credit card numbers or personally identifying information were taken by the intruders, or that the protection on credit card numbers or passwords was cracked. We are still investigating.

We don’t have evidence of credit card misuse at this time. Nonetheless you should watch your credit card activity and statements closely.

While we only know of a few forum accounts that have been compromised, all forum users will be required to change their passwords the next time they login. If you have used your Steam forum password on other accounts you should change those passwords as well.

We do not know of any compromised Steam accounts, so we are not planning to force a change of Steam account passwords (which are separate from forum passwords). However, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to change that as well, especially if it is the same as your Steam forum account password.

We will reopen the forums as soon as we can.

I am truly sorry this happened, and I apologize for the inconvenience.

Gabe."

  STEAM Forums Hacked Posted by RosietheRiveter - 465 Reads 
SteamTroubling news indeed

If your STEAM account and STEAM Forum user name and password are the same , it would be prudent to change the STEAM account password and secret question.


"The Steam Forums are temporarily offline for maintenance. Your patience is appreciated.” That’s the message you’ll get if you’re trying to log into the Steam forums at the moment. They’ve been taken down due to an apparent hack that briefly saw front page text changed to advertise a game hacks site. Eurogamer say that some Steam users have had their email addresses spammed with messages from this site

A screenshot of the Steam forums before the hack shows that the official notices section at the top of the page had been altered to promote a site called Fkn0wned. The hack is a worrying breach of Steam’s usually watertight security, and is especially concerning for users whose Steam login details are the same as their Steam account username and password. Valve haven’t commented on the breach yet."
