Same problem for me. Tis very silly tbh. Please add to your todo list Valve. Ben Scott Tuttle wrote: I only have 12 servers running right now but I also have this problem randomly.

[hlds_linux] vac going into insecure mode, please fix.
-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Everyday it seems I have to restart my server because its in insecure mode. I'd like to see this issue resolved. I understand that sometimes the server is unable to contact the auth server. This could obviously be as simple as a timeout. That's fine. But why not make it so that the server doesn't need to be restarted to be put in secure mode? Why not have the server contact the auth servers on mapchange as well? That way if the server is in insecure mode it could contact the server and be put back into secure mode. And/or why not just have the server check that its in secure mode every 5 minutes or give us a cvar to allow us to check the auth server status every x amount of time if the server is in insecure mode? I know that vac runs as a seperate process, so why is it not possible to have it just stop the process and start it again if it does not connect to the auth server and reconnect every 60 seconds until its been authenticated into secure mode. I personally don't think that anti-cheat has been that effective from anyone but vac has slowed down the cheaters quite a bit and it seems like when our server is put into insecure mode we begin to see them login like its some kind of invite. The process for getting vac back on right now its restart the server. This is completely ridiculous. I run a 32 player server that is nearly full all the time. And sometimes it will just randomly go into insecure mode. That means I have to restart the server. The other day I had to restart it three times to get vac back on. There needs to be a better way.

Re: [hlds_linux] vac going into insecure mode, please fix.
I agree. We are having the same difficulties with this problem. We are running 15 CS servers, which are combined 90% filled most of the time. It's easy to detect if one of the servers is insecure, just by listening to the cheater reports on irc or on our website. They are kinda swarming the servers at that time. Please make this a check when changing map, for servers running secure or make it a cvar. - Original Message - From: John Saucier [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: hlds_linux@list.valvesoftware.com Sent: Tuesday, January 03, 2006 6:55 PM Subject: [hlds_linux] vac going into insecure mode, please fix. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Everyday it seems I have to restart my server because its in insecure mode.
