DaReaper September 4, 2013 Share DaReaper Member September 4, 2013 Greetings, Just reporting about the ads and music playing in the background for certain players during gameplay on your server, did some research and found this... Read this to get an idea of what i'm talking about... Its a valve problem it seems, the latest update might have eliminated it, but it has something to do with custom MOTD's server side... http://ecggaming.com/index.php?/topic/1200-console-spam/ A way to stop it temporarily while playing is, typing !motd in chat... that seems to clear it for a period of time...

crasx September 4, 2013 Share crasx GC Alumni September 4, 2013 thanks for the report. I was on earlier when this was happening and I have no idea where it comes from. Also your link doesn't work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

san` September 4, 2013 Share san` GC Alumni September 4, 2013 Might be because of the motd plugin I was trying out. I'll remove it when I get home tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaRvIn September 4, 2013 Share MaRvIn Member September 4, 2013 This is happening on a lot of other servers too, anytime a new round starts it will play a 30 second ad in the background. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crasx September 4, 2013 Share crasx GC Alumni September 4, 2013 Might be because of the motd plugin I was trying out. I'll remove it when I get home tonight. already removed that, also don't think it's.... wait *thinks* So, basically cs:go doesn't play well with motd's. When a script opens the motd, it isn't visible because of this (it's in the background). So if somehow an ad starts playing in the background it makes sense that !motd would stop it because it would clear whatever is in the background and load our motd. So, I am 99% sure it's not our motd plugin because I originally checked the code for it and the page it triggers. So, I guess it could be some type of virus-type plugin that opens a page in the background. I am going to do a scan of our current plugins today and see if I can track it down update: nothing suspicious.. but !motd works now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samurai nightling September 6, 2013 Share samurai nightling Member September 6, 2013 I jumped on the seerver by myself a few nights ago, and a song started playing out of no where! I was so confused, the only way i figured out to stop it was close CSGO and rejoin lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turnbullTeRRoR September 6, 2013 Share turnbullTeRRoR GC Alumni September 6, 2013 the only time I've had it happen to me as I've said before was when I opened the !motd and then closed it and boom music started but that could have been coincidence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaReaper September 6, 2013 Author Share DaReaper Member September 6, 2013 Just wanted to post an update. Shortly after I reported this, Steam came out with an update, and the last time I played there (2 days ago) I didn't have the issue anymore. So it seems it was a valve problem... If it happens again I'll be sure to mention it here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barashin September 6, 2013 Share Barashin Member September 6, 2013 The problem appeared for me while playing. It seems to occur a minute or so after I typed in !motd in chat. I'm not sure if this actually triggered the music and ads playing, but it happened more than once on two different maps. Here's my ~ console while the ads / music were playing.

Barashin September 6, 2013 Share Barashin Member September 6, 2013 Update: The songs also crash CSGO when they end. Fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turnbullTeRRoR September 6, 2013 Share turnbullTeRRoR GC Alumni September 6, 2013 yeah I guess the one time I did it the map changed before the song ended so I didn't get a crash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggs September 7, 2013 Share Biggs GC Alumni September 7, 2013 Think we fixed it--please post if you hear music/see ads there again. That is... unless it's a valve issue. Then it'll get fixed at valve-o'clock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crasx September 7, 2013 Share crasx GC Alumni September 7, 2013 I removed motd. Must be a valve think because the plugin had nothing to do with ads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaReaper September 7, 2013 Author Share DaReaper Member September 7, 2013 well played last night and was still getting them, it actually got worse on my end lol had to type !Motd several times during game play... hopefully Valve fixes this soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonymo September 7, 2013 Share anonymo Member September 7, 2013 I'm immune! This has never happened to me, until that is I mention somewhere that it's never happened to me and it will undoubtedly start...better make sure I don't do that.
