GameMode – Horde and Deathmatch have been Deprecated commands will be removed in the coming builds Known Issues You have to hit Shift+Tab twice to bring up the steam overlay 64 bit is known to be unstable run it at your own risk Playing with larger numbers of players can be slow to rebuild collison Cactus damage is inaccurate @King8Bit server is down...could you get it up and running and update to 8.5 please?
@King8Bit - I ran a steam update - but it didn't seem to help. Is there some fancy business that needs to happen too?
@Sandbag - Don't believe so. I've always just ran the steam update and let the firedaemon service run the batch file.
FireDaemon doesn't kill the process. So even though it says service not running - it stays. When you "start" the service on firedaemon nothing happens because the original is still running. FIXED: Killed process and restarted.
