Cheating Death

Anonymous · April 04, 2004, 01:39:53 PM

Can I suggest that until Valve/Steam/United Admins get this sorted out that we stop running CD?

It seems that we go through the same process every week. I now don't bother with CD because it has become more annoying than the cheats it aims to block (not UAs fault I would say but the overall effect is annoyance)

Amen to that BB

Got a different message today:- After updating CD and exiting and updating Steam, having deleted "blob" file. Starting the game lets you load the security file and starts to "precache resources" then comes the new message "Connection to VAC Server has been aborted, please read CD manual" ? Reading the "MANUAL" under the heading NOTICE it seems like I have just been saved from a world ban. I always knew I was "Lucky Jim". Please somebody save me from Steam. :whistle:

If you get that message then disable CD and you can play normal

Lo all,
I got cd on my servers and dont seem to have any problems with steam updates.

Cheating Death is now running again and is mandatory on *all* three servers.

We have had to do this because we need to have CD running on Baldric, our match server, and the way we have our servers configured means that we can't have a mixture of both VAC and CD.

We know there are some anti-CD feelings being expressed within this forum but our research shows that many players perceive better bullet registration ('reg') and less lag. Add this to the fact that CD is updated far more regularly than VAC and you can see why we've made this decision.

As usual, please feedback your comments here and rest assured that making your playing experience an enjoyable one is uppermost in our thoughts.

Just paid a quick visit to all three servers with CD running, everything went sweet as a nut.

Updating C-D is the simplest thing you'll ever do. When you start it, click 'Check for update' Job done.

Hi guys, long time no seen. Anywayz, I have different skins installed. Is that the reason I get kicked from your servers (I believe CD does that, correct me if I am wrong)??

GRIM_REAPER · April 15, 2004, 11:13:16 PM

latest version of CD? make sure you star tCD before you start steam, about the modles i think other ppl use diffrent modles so i dont think that'll be the prob.

Dr Sadako · April 15, 2004, 11:15:47 PM

I think that the CD needs to be started before you start CS. I don't think it matters if you start it before steam or not.

Not sure about the skin models. Could it be a server configuration?

Benny · April 16, 2004, 09:08:29 AM

I have to start CD before Steam or it bounces me out. Maybe I'm just lucky like that.

Grimnar · April 16, 2004, 09:38:48 AM

yeah CD doesn't accept all skin models some are blocked.

Just like some sounds skins are seen as cheats.
