Have I not been saying this since the update? Seems to have fallen on deaf eyes ... Besides the fact that cheating is most assuredly rampant, keeping the server up for them to cheat on is even tougher ... The 1108 update saw the server crashing every couple hours ... The 1108a update now keeps the server up for a day or two, but sometimes just hours ...
Cheating is most definitely rampant, and the message from Dan about the renaming of the file is moot ... HalfLife Hack v1.3 came out 12 hours after 1108 patch, and you need do nothing special to use it ... PunkBuster is useless, and it always has been useless ... HalfLife Hack has ALWAYS worked against PB and has never been detected ... I'm sure PB was sent HLH all the time, but simply couldn't crack it ... Another thing I find pretty ironic is, if you go to the PB site, the only game they document to support is HalfLife ... What are they doing now? Also, why turn your back on the sole program you wrote for? Why not maintain your "complimentary" relationship with the people that helped you on your way to your commercial start by nothing but the freest of support? Anytime someone said something negative about PB, I was right there defending it .. Little did I know that it never worked ... Little did I know that it only worked on the hacks that came out 2 years ago ... I was very disappointed ... Shared this information with Deacon and even showed it to him .. I wondered if this wasn't part of the reason he dropped out for a while ... (I say a while, cause I assume he'll be back ...) Anyway, yeah ... my 2� ... But, if something doesn't change, and soon ... things are going to change on my game server ... Unreal Tournament was real simple to setup, and their anti-cheat guy is real down to earth and responded about the PB/CS drop and said that he would not be interested in writing anything for CS ... regardless of how many names signed an electronic petition ...
