HLSW bug fixed, servers now appear online again

The makers of HLSW have released an update for their server management utility. The update released by VALVE yesterday for all Half-Life based games has rendered some of the features of HLSW unusable. We have tested the new version of HLSW and game servers no longer appear offline. RCON functionality also works.
You can get the latest version of HLSW using the update tool that comes with it. The latest version is v1.0.0.43 BETA. Also VALVE has (again) confirmed the lack of support for the 64-bit version of Half-Life Dedicated Server (HLDS). Perhaps you have noticed a new message when joining a Counter-Strike game server. Under the banner the new Valve Anti Cheat is announced. On the majority of the Clanhost servers you won't see such a message because we use the 64-bit binaries of HLDS. Customers that would like to have VAC2 enabled on their server when it is released can ask us to be switched to the 32-bit version."The 64-bit binaries do not support the new VAC system at this time. We plan to release 64-bit support in the future but I don't have a firm timetable. In the meantime you can run the 32-bit binaries, or keep running the 64-bit binaries on the current VAC system." - Alfred Reynolds, VALVE
