Considering there's an extremely high possibility of this exploit carrying over to Half-Life 2 I think VALVe will be working on a way to fix it already - Alfred would've seen this and informed whoever by now.
Though, I can understand why he hasn't posted to the list regarding the issue, last thing we need is 30 people pouncing on him with Half life 2 questions and abuse about this bug :p - Bruce "Bahamut" Andrews -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andy Shinn Sent: Monday, 4 October 2004 12:40 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] CS w/out STEAM joining Internet STEAM server I'm saying the faster it gets exploited the faster it will get noticed. Not that I want it exploited. Since it doesn't affect gameplay normal users wouldn't complain and it could be overlooked and continue to happen without anyone ever knowing.
