Re: [hlds_linux] VAC 2 Beta
This was the last official word on Friday, March 25th, 2005: For people playing multiplayer games, there will not be any visible difference while we're conducting the beta, but we will be logging cheating violations into our database to make sure it's ready for general release. This will be the last public notice before the system is released and active for everyone.

Re: [hlds_linux] VAC 2 Beta
Do server admins get to see cheating violations found by VAC2 also? This would be a nice feature so we might be able to compare with cheaters we actually see (obvious speedhacking, aimbot, etc.) with what VAC2 finds in logs. This would bring a little more confidence to my table for what VAC2 is finding.

RE: [hlds_linux] VAC 2 Beta
Using this flag at this time will prevent legitimate users from being able to connect to your server (on the order of 20% of all users). Right now the beta test only involves testing our connectivity code, it does not exercise any cheat detection logic. If you want to help us solve our connectivity issues then use this flag, but be aware that you will be prevent users from playing on your server. In particular, if you see people being kicked with No Steam Logon errors and they are technically savvy then please ask them to contact me to debug the problem. - Alfred Original Message From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of List Keeper Sent: Monday, May 09, 2005 4:05 AM To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com; hlds_linux@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: [hlds_linux] VAC 2 Beta To those trusty and perhaps rusty admins, -vacbeta sv_secure 1 Sincerely, Your Neighborhood List Keeper :) ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
Re: [hlds_linux] VAC 2 Beta
Alfred, after adding -vacbeta to the command line, where do you add sv_secure 1? I had my server host add -vacbeta added to the command line. But it is still forcing sv_secure to 0. Is this a mistake on their part? Zack Alfred Reynolds wrote: Using this flag at this time will prevent legitimate users from being able to connect to your server (on the order of 20% of all users).

RE: [hlds_linux] VAC 2 Beta
The sv_secure flag is read only, it is set when you specify the -vacbeta flag AND after the server has logged into the VAC backend. If you see an error on startup in your server console about being unable to connect to steam then you need to debug the problem. See my posts from last week about how to debug UDP connectivity problems. - Alfred Original Message From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Z Teknology G-Mail Sent: Monday, May 09, 2005 4:54 PM To: hlds_linux@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] VAC 2 Beta Alfred, after adding -vacbeta to the command line, where do you add sv_secure 1?
