what's stopping us from running more than 33 slots is a limit in the client
if they increase this limit to 34, we'll figure out a way to use it

Good point. There's a lot of servers that have more slots as intended.
However, if maxplayers now is 34 while replay and stv is enabled at the same
time, does it affect matchmaking? Servers over 32 aren't receiving any players
so if these 2 are on, does the matchmaking count them as extra slots
If I remember correctly, 33 slots was a technical limit in the engine (and only
doable with some tricks), having 34 would mean crashes (clients).

I though 31 was the max but i believe its changed:
From their website: Increasing the max player count above 24 will incur a
matchmaking scorking penalty, but will not disqualify you from the list

able to get players too, alt
I still don't get why making the game less random and better-than-averange

What do you mean? On 4-core cpu, it only takes 1 core if it goes 100%.
Not all 4 despite it being tasket on 1 core or not.

It's a game specific limit. HL2DM iirc is capped at 16 players, CS:S at 64.

You *can* go over 33 slots on TF2, just that it causes some random
things to happen and crashes. Basically it's techical limit too but
really not recommended to going around the official 32 slots. No reason
to go there either. Some maps already are quite small for 32 players.

SRCDS does have some threading. So in some cases it manages to take over
more than 1 core.

I've also noticed an increase of cpu usage for idle servers. I think
I have my servers set to each run on their own core and the 100% cpu lockup

Is Valve really doing anything to catch people making F2P accounts to
avoid cheat bans?
Ever since we switched to IP bans, we've been able to catch many
cheaters using F2P to avoid bans. Some of them have even made up to 4
accounts in a row. Unfortunately, I've started to see some of these
people
No, they aren't.

The only thing i know is that they cant put multiple accounts (max 3 i
think) on 1 creditcard... if you want more on 1 account, but hey for

blocking f2p would surely help fix that issue to a point.
On that same note, maybe that is 1 reason why valve threw up so many servers

Valve should first add some basic server side protection against some common
hacks.
For example should be easy to block "100% crits" hacks like this one:

Anyway, the client doesn't decide when a crit occurs. But as part of
the prediction (for lag compensation) it does know when a crit will
happen. Cheats just hook onto this and fire the weapon when a crit
will occur.
I built a simple tool that will prevent this but have

Out of curiosity, why should the client decide when a critical hit occurs? I

The client doesn't decide it, but it knows when it's going to happen at the
same time the server does. This is so that client side prediction can work
effectively with crits. Whether an attack is a crit is decided by both the

A lot of things get broken in cheats when you use this plugin.
But it does cause some other issues (small, but noticeable).
