Locked CS:S Server Update: Progress, Current Status, and What’s Next

[.Rushaway 299]

Following the recent Counter-Strike: Source update, we have some updates regarding our servers (Build 17399420 - 18.02.2025).

Zombie Escape Server Online (Unstable State)
We’ve decided to bring the Zombie Escape (ZE) server back online in less than 48 hours after the game update, even though it’s currently in an unstable state.
This will allow us to identify and fix bugs more quickly.
While the gameplay experience may not yet meet our usual standards, we believe it’s better than having the server offline entirely.

Progress Update
Our team has been working tirelessly, sacrificing sleep and personal time to get us to this point. Here’s what you can expect in the coming days:

• By 24.02.2025:
  • The Zombie Escape server will have 90% of plugins and extensions functioning properly.
  • The Zombie Revival server will be fully updated to the latest game version. 
• No-Steam Support (no ETA):
  • We are still working on restoring no-Steam support. This is a complex process due to significant changes in the engine code introduced in the latest update. Reverse-engineering these changes takes time, but we are making steady progress.

We appreciate your understanding as we work through these challenges.
Our goal is to restore the best possible gameplay experience for everyone as soon as possible.

If you encounter bugs or issues while playing on the ZE/ZR server, please report them to our team.
Your feedback is invaluable in helping us resolve these problems.

Thank you for your continued support! Stay tuned for further updates.

A big thanks to everyone who are working on the backend for fixing everything.
