VAC Update

[CSN NewsBot]

A new VAC module has been released which finally attempts to fix the errors that occur on a Linux server after an automatic VAC upgrade. The module, in addition with a beta server (http://files.valve-erc.com/ - login & pass: server_beta) should end the annoying bugs which cause clients to have an unpleasant experience after an upgrade.

VAC Update

I know you all LOVE Steam and VAC, so let's get straight to the update.

• a few bug fixes, including the timeout bug at login.
  
  
• minor performance enhancements.
  
  
• new detections.

Sorry this one took so long, there was a lot of internal restructuring that had to happen in this release that required more testing than usual.

More Information is available here. Get on with your playing!

Does the error occur on Windows servers too? ... cause that's what I play on mostly, but Disk2 is always sure to restart the server the same minute the update happens, before I can try to cheat on the new update.

Does this vac stop the hacks that i use? jp

[Disk2]

VALVe has not seen any Windows servers crash after updating the VAC. I always restart CSR's server just to make sure, but it really isn't necessary.

VALVe rules! But they said we would get more information about TF2 in the coming months in January.

VAC updates apply to DOD too right? And don't delete this post!11 *eyes twiches*

[Mr. Lugosi]

Not all VAC updates apply to DoD too (at least not the beta modules anyway), but this one does work for DoD too.
