VAC2 Released for HL1 Engine

This is small news, but applies to CSR seeing as we're still using the Half-Life 1 Engine. Alfred (of Valve mailing list fame) writes,

We have released an update to Counter-Strike and the Half-Life 1: Engine. Run the hldsupdatetool to get this update. If you run ANY server that uses the Half-Life 1: Engine (i.e TFC, DMC, NS, DoD, etc) then you should get this update.

This update enables VAC2 by default for all Half-Life 1: Engine dedicated servers and fixes a couple potential exploits. ... The update also disables old style queries by default. To enable old queries set "sv_enableoldqueries" to "1" (this is NOT recommended, if you set this you will expose your server to a potential DDoS attack).


I haven't seen a whole lot of cheaters in CSR lately (or anyone else for that matter!), but it's nice to know Valve is finally back-porting it's current protection scheme to HL1.

It says it enables it by default. I thought it was already available for 1.6?

Yes, it's strange wording indeed. I was under the impression that it wasn't yet available for HL1 except as a beta program (maybe that's what they meant?)

Anyway, it's on now, for whatever it's worth.
