I could do that but then I’m also missing that client logged in which helps seed. Every client helps these days and I can’t do that now. I will log my account in and just let it sit, listen and seed a while. I understand the alternatives but an explaination from Valve as to why this change was even made is needed as there wasn’t a valid one that I can come up with.
Perhaps a server side setting to let “insecure” clients log in.

I use it for a client so I can listen in a server without using a bunch of resources. Why was this change made and what alternative do you have besides launching the game in full and alt tabbing now. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Rudy Bleeker Sent: Tuesday, October 13, 2015 3:02 AM To: Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds] Optional TF2 update released >From the client patch notes from October 12, 2015: - Running in textmode now places the client in insecure mode On Sun, Oct 11, 2015 at 2:50 AM, HD <[email protected]> wrote: > Anyone else having issues now using a client into their servers using > -textmode for launch options?
