After the update to 2.0.2.6 many users are having trouble connecting to my server. They get the error "pak01_xxx failed consistency check" when they try to connect. Now I guess this is because the latest update changed the way the pure and consistency check works somehow? But the thing is, some of the users that has this error are friends of mine, and they have default game installs with default .vpk files so they shouldnt be getting this error. Also observe that they get this error in team versus/versus mode and not when the server runs campaign mode for example.
Some people are saying that downloading the Left 4 Dead 2 Addon Support client side fixes this. I can't confirm or deny this, but I can say that me who has addon support installed can connect fine, while my friend who does not have addon support installed can't connect. Is the case here that you have to have the addon support to be able to connect to versus games? Maybe the addon support modyfies the .vpk files, and the consistency check checks crc against the addon support modded .vpks, and therefore "normal" game installs without the addon support installed fails the consistency check? _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
