Counter-Strike: Source
- Fixed a problem that allowed spoofed IP addresses to make connections to the 
game server

- Added ConVars sv_rcon_maxpacketsize and sv_rcon_maxpacketbans to allow server

Counter-Strike: Source

- Limit the effective FOV of players using wide-screen resolutions with aspect 
ratios wider than 1.85:1. The sv_restrict_aspect_ratio_fov ConVar can be 
changed to remove the restriction or make the restriction also apply to 
full-screen players.

- Changed the way bot counts are displayed in the server browser: the bot 
column is now next to the player column and always visible. Bot count is no 
longer subtracted from maxplayers.
- Adjusted error messages on servers when players drop due to Steam 
authentication failure to be more clear
- Additional important server messages now go to the server log instead of just 
the console
- Fixed the HUD radar not using the correct colors for players
- Fixed the HUD radar background disappearing after level change
- Fixed the class menu models not animating correctly
