VAC Modules Update

Posted by Rob at 12:33 5/9/2002.

The HLDS mailing list has received another update in regard to the Valve Anti Cheat Modules being updated once again. Here's what Eric Smith of Valve Software had to say:

"We’ve updated the public security modules again. The new security modules address the following issues:

• 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).

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.

Your Counter-Strike and Day of Defeat servers should update themselves automatically. If you find your servers are suddenly having problems, try restarting them.

We think we’ve found the problem some servers have been experiencing when we update the security modules. When the fix is ready, we’ll release it as a server update. We’ll send more information when it’s ready. Thanks for your patience."

The war continues...
