brand new HLG now with less player vanishing.

Bout time, now if only servers would upgrade from CSGUARD and HLGUARD betas to atleast Version 1.07.



And then, if they'd actually enable the aimbot detection which seems to be off by default, along with alot of other features off by default.

What are these sound hacks?

I think they are similar in function to the PODbot "sound aimbot/wallhack" whereby the audio from player footsteps or movement is used to automatically lock onto players. The sound hacks are reportedly less effective than standard ones. And as Re-call said turning off footsteps is a very bad solution to combat those sound hacks. CS is probably one of the few games currently available where sound is a very critical part of knowing where your opponent is, especially if one uses EAX/A3D environmental audio or surround sound.

[Dangki]

Te sound hacks seem like the aimbot/wallhack makers are getting desperate.

I'd rather have the ability to play at 100% not hindered and take the risk of having a cheater(which I can leave if there is) compared to not being able to play certain maps or do certain things before of a "helpful" tool. Of course the only map that sucks with HLguard sucks before HLguard. So really HLguard is doing me a favor. I really hate when it gets switched to awp_map...
