Couple of points of interest to server operators in this release. 1) The new querying subsystem has been implemented in HL1 now, the old (vulnerable) protocol will be disabled in a future update (in the next month or so). MAKE SURE TO UPDATE YOUR EXTERNAL TOOLS NOW. This process has already happened for the Source engine so hopefully your tools already work with the new query format.
2) Under Linux you now need at least GLIBC 2.3.2 (i.e what the Source engine requires) to run the new VAC code. If your distribution is too old you will see something like this in the console: --------------------------------------------- Error:./vstdlib_s_i486.so: undefined symbol: __cxa_atexit Could not establish connection to Steam servers (steamclient). --------------------------------------------- You should upgrade your Linux distribution in this case. If you do not upgrade you will not be able to run a secure server once the new VAC system is released. - Alfred ----Original Message---- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alfred Reynolds Sent: Tuesday, June 07, 2005 4:09 PM To: [email protected]; [email protected]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [hlds_linux] HL1 Engine update > We have released an update to the HL1 engine, this update is for any > mod running under this engine.
