Re: [hlds_linux] client being quit to desktop
There has been a report made on this list at some point, saying that it was possible for someone to send a message through steam friends of a certain length (very long probably) that has this effect. I have no idea how and if this (still) works though. Never tried it. So yea.. Turning it off, or blocking the person crashing your game seems the obvious and only solutions for now. --- Regime Matt Albiniak wrote: The only time I've seen clients quit to the desktop were: 1) forcing a cexec with mani to cause the user to quit (dunno if other mods have this feature). 2) running zBlock/Cvar-x (or whatever its called) with mani and redirects enabled. users who are redirected crash because the var blockers prohibit the wait; command mani uses on redirects.

AW: [hlds_linux] client being quit to desktop
I heard about that problem these days. The given solution was to connect to a gameserver from the desktop (not within counter-strike). Doing this once helped him out.

The only time I've seen clients quit to the desktop were: 1) forcing a cexec with mani to cause the user to quit (dunno if other mods have this feature). 2) running zBlock/Cvar-x (or whatever its called) with mani and redirects enabled. users who are redirected crash because the var blockers prohibit the wait; command mani uses on redirects.
