Yeah its definitely a bug, because 1.6 now supposedly used the same protocol as CS Source but that was not true, it does not need this fake challenge request first.

So yes it works but we shouldn't need to use it. Regards Steve ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kveri" <[email protected]> true, but I don't know why valve should fix that (it's not a bug), because it's working with A2S_PLAYER (or A2S_RULES) and it's documented - A2S_PLAYER is not a workaround, it's just another way to go. I've been using A2S_PLAYER with challenge value -1 to get challenge since protocol 48 update and I don't see a reason why valve should change anything, since everyone is obtaining challenge number this way. Anyway nice work with qstat, thanks, I've just updated it on my servers, however I'm using gentoo and there is no new version in portage right now, so I compiled it and replaced binary manually. ================================================ This e.mail is private and confidential between Multiplay (UK) Ltd. and the person or entity to whom it is addressed.
