    VAC News

    VALVe's Eric Smith sent word along the HLDS mailing list that they had received reports of problems with the newest beta security modules, the ones with the active OpenGL wallhack blocking.



    To temporarily alleviate these problems while they try to fix up the beta modules, VALVe has replaced all the beta modules with copies of the seemingly more stable public modules. As per usual, servers running the modules were updated automagically, and server restarts are recommended.



    Again, this news will only affect servers that were running the beta modules.[break="click here for eric smith's email"]
    Over the weekend, we had several reports about problems with the beta

    security modules. We've removed the beta security modules and replaced them

    with copies of the current public security modules. If you were testing the

    beta security modules, your server should update itself (with the public

    security modules).



    We appreciate all the feedback everyone sent us regarding the problems they

    were having. We're currently working to resolve the problems. When we're

    ready, we'll roll out new beta security modules and send an e-mail with the

    details.

                  very true. its funny watching the server total go from like 4000+ to around 1500 all of a sudden (and a bit annoying i might add).

                    Sam, they're still working on the problem that requires the reboots.



                    For everyone else, here's the link to all of VALVe's mailing lists.

                      but then again, we can't ask for everything from those wonderful people who work hard to save us from the evil wallh4x0rs and other cheaters in this world.

                          By the end of the month I assume we'll see the wallhack block implemented beyond the betas. I hope it's better than HLgaurd version.

                            Didn't joolz join United admin's or something a little bit ago? Or did he get sick of all the cheaters and joined them?...........When you can't beat em, join em?

                              joolz is one of the guys who helped block last OGC 10.x b or something so I doubt hes now making cheats. He's probably working on blocking this new "mod" ogc now.
