Out of interest just a thought, there isn't an equivalent like steamip is there? Just wondering as they are on multihomed machines with an ip not accessible via the internet as well as wan ip?

I have been running vacbeta since a week after release on both of our pubs and generally anytime these guys have connection issues it always seems to be that once they restart steam the issue is resolved. If you see these guys get these sorts of errors and they are regs simply suggest to them to restart steam. artiecs wrote: Alfred We enabled VAC2 beta today.

RE: [hlds] VAC2 Beta information
Alfred, Obviously I do not know what the end product of VAC2 will be, but I have one concern at this point in time. Every time a player starts CS:S [HL2.exe], a small file is generated, in the format ~xxx.tmp starting from ~1a.tmp onwards) in C:\Documents and Settings\UserNameHere\Local Settings\Temp and is 60kb in size. This triggers a great deal of firewalls, because a totally new file with a totally unique name is generated every time and wants to access the internet. I have currently some 100+ of these files which contain "c:\steam3main\src\vac2\vac2\Release\vac2.pdb" inside, so I know it is VAC2 generated. When this file is generated and triggers the firewall, the game is then minimised, this also generates the issues known to be caused by ALT-TAB'ing (purple colours, black textures etc). I personally am not going to turn my firewall off. I was going to suggest one file, encrypted and re-written each time CS:S started, but a changed file will just trigger the firewall anyway. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alfred Reynolds Sent: Friday, 17 June 2005 10:38 AM To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: RE: [hlds] VAC2 Beta information The ports cascade from 27014 at the moment, we will be adding an explicit "-steamport" option for HL1 in the next update for HL1 (and Source already supports "-steamport" ). - Alfred -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andrew Armstrong Sent: Thursday, June 16, 2005 5:10 PM To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: [hlds] VAC2 Beta information Just to confirm whats said below, does this impact running multiple servers off the one host by any chance?

RE: [hlds] VAC2 Beta information
You don't need to port forward the VAC2 ports, only the Game server ports (so 27015 and 27014 in your case). Using 27014 and 27013 isn't a good idea however, you could potentially conflict with our services (this shouldn't be the case, but with NAT you never know). As a rule only run servers on ports 27015 and above, 27000 through 27014 is the Valve "reserved" range. - Alfred -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ook Sent: Thursday, June 16, 2005 7:24 PM To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: [hlds] VAC2 Beta information So, in my case, I have ports 27013 - 27015 UDP forwarded to my server box, an OP4 server on 27015 with vacbeta, a Cold Ice server on 27014 without vacbeta, and nothing on 27013, so I'm guessing this would work without my having to open up any other ports? - Original Message - From: "Alfred Reynolds" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Thursday, June 16, 2005 4:38 PM Subject: RE: [hlds] VAC2 Beta information > The ports cascade from 27014 at the moment, we will be adding an > explicit "-steamport" option for HL1 in the next update for HL1 (and > Source already supports "-steamport" ). > > - Alfred > > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andrew > Armstrong > Sent: Thursday, June 16, 2005 5:10 PM > To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com > Subject: Re: [hlds] VAC2 Beta information > > Just to confirm whats said below, does this impact running multiple > servers off the one host by any chance?

Yes that flag will work for OP4.
