I have a spare machine at home that I have CS installed on, and a

of OGC I downloaded a while ago.  This is for watching demo's of

 You just run the exe, setup a couple hot keys, minimize it then play CS.
I can't imagine how you would "lock down" on the desktop against a
hack like
this.  There was an exe, a dll and an ini file.  Thats it.


Because they monitor their systems. The company drew works for is not ya

The Cafemangement system polls the processlist every 15 seconds per
machine, if there is anything new it alerts us straight away on the
front counter which the machine status is too repolled every 15 seconds
for all machines. It sees an unlisted process and reports back to us.

Using Pentium II Optimised binary.
Auto-restarting the server on crash
Console initialized.
Protocol version 46
Exe version 3.1.1.1
Exe build: 16:50:03 May 30 2003 (2409)
Timed Out.
Does get really tedious after a while.

As well as servers dropping out of secure mode, after an update (I
presume that was the cause), and yes, I have the latest and greatest
patches.
- Increasing CPU, Descreased performance.


Unfortunate, but its something im willing to deal with to make sure
people with cheap memory get banned for using my servers.
- Having a banlist that you cannot even contact a "selected" person
regarding WONID's being on the list:
* http://www.valvesoftware.com/people.htm -> No one
* http://www.valvesoftware.com/contact.htm -> Not one response from

& stuff emailing it to this list, you would just get ridiculed.

Ive mentioned this before, and apparently no one gives a shit. Youre an

VALVe killed Kennedy, not the CIA.

Disclaimer: I'm only referring to VAC, the HLDS support has been
amazing. Good work Valve!

Totally agree, the updates patches and code enhancements recently are
very much appreciated.

Yeah, i'm sure you're the only one in the world with a VAC ban. In fact,
there's a whole crew in valve named "Dre'w cafe and VAC problems"!

"- Hitbox conspiracies, and more ?"

You watched one too many episode of x-files... there was a bug, it was
fixed. But I guess you didnt get the fix, with that valve anti new
zealand crusade and all.



"Disclaimer: I'm only referring to VAC, the HLDS support has been
amazing. Good work Valve!"

I doubt anyone from valve bothered to read that far into your e-mail...

About time.

but yes, I know 2 or 3 people that I lan w/ all the time, and know they dont
cheat, have been banned due to their memory or something along those lines.
seems to be a common issue.
