Blargs, that got cut off. Anyway, the client doesn't decide when a crit occurs. But as part of the prediction (for lag compensation) it does know when a crit will happen. Cheats just hook onto this and fire the weapon when a crit will occur.
I built a simple tool that will prevent this but haven't released it yet. Mainly this is because I have to know where this leaves myself for the future. I'm all about free software, but making software free is very expensive to me. :( On Thu, Aug 25, 2011 at 7:28 PM, Kigen <theki...@gmail.com> wrote: > Th > > On Thu, Aug 25, 2011 at 7:06 PM, hlds <h...@gmx.com> wrote: >> Valve should first add some basic server side protection against some common >> hacks. >> >> For example should be easy to block "100% crits" hacks like this one: >> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hq_LZUPvqI.
