Another day, another Valve Anti-Cheat update. This time the email comes from VALVe's Leon Hartwig and mentions BETA security modules for CS servers only. Server admins who wish to participate in this BETA module test must put a special parameter in their command line and restart the server. Read the email below for more details.[break="click through for leon hartwig's hlds email"]
We've updated the BETA security modules again (see #4 below to set your
server up to use these). Changes for these modules include:
- Detection of OGC 10.1b, Joolz, and GoldFinger.
- Fixed secure-global bans not taking effect sometimes.
- Fixed secure-global banned players being allowed to connect to secure
servers sometimes.
1) This beta test is only for Counter-Strike servers...not Day of Defeat.
2) Anyone detected cheating during this beta test *may* get banned for it,
but only for the duration of the beta test. This means if you test a cheat
on your server while running the beta modules, you might find yourself
banned from your own server. At the end of the beta test, we'll clear the
bans that were collected before releasing the modules publicly.
3) We're no longer using port 27013 for the ban list. You will now see
traffic (in/out) on port 27011. This traffic is to/from the ban list
server. Make sure you have this port open in your firewall.
4) The password for the beta modules is "vactest", so make sure you have...
-testmodule vactest
...in your command line and restart your server.
Let me know if you have any problems with these modules and we'll look into
them right away. Thanks for helping out.
-Leon
