Subject: Re: [hlds] Half-Life 1 engine beta update released
We have released an update to the beta, run the hldsupdatetool with "-beta
hlbeta" to get this update. Changes for this update are:
- more input checking on some MSG_X functions
There were no known exploits this is fixing but better safe than sorry. My plan
is to release this publically on Monday, so make sure you try these new
binaries over the weekend.
