Counter Strike: Source Update & Source Engine Update

[Hectic Glenn]

Just the one update for CS: Source today, which is as follows:

• Fixed a crash which could occur if the dynamic weapon price list failed to download

Nice nice, the Source Engine updates are:

• Added new cl_restrict_server_commands to prevent unwanted commands being run on game clients. The default value is 1. (0 = No server command restrictions, 1 = Restricts server commands in Valve multi-player, 2= Restricts server commands in all multi-player).
• Decreased startup time in some cases by rate-limiting the packets sent to clients during logon
• Improved responsiveness when entering map areas with lots of entities by automatically compressing large packet updates

As usual, restart your engines! I mean Steam, to receive this update. Ping!

Neat!

Too bad it's for source only. Blocking client commands would be a welcome change on Half-Life 1.

 

[bam23]

Needs more blocking client commands on HL1.

 

[Mr-Fusion]

Yes. Half-life 1 is by far the more popular game engine.

Wake up valve!! Cs1.6 and dod1.3 need this!

Pong?

 

[Hectic Glenn]

Pong?

Hehe, that's some latency there!

 

[Dekstar]

This sounds useful. What does it mean? Has VALVe just added that to make sure no one uses a Cvar forcer?

We (because I am legion) run a DM mod on our server and since the update it's meant the mod menus no longer work unless the players reset the option back to off. Sure I can understand people wanting to block problems, but I'd rather they set the position to off by default with the release. Much Chaos with the mod scene. Especially as a lot of CS players are clueless when it comes to commands

Except when it comes to rates. Bigger is better, people!

The margin is shrinking all the time.... the big V probably dont want to devote too much time to longevity of old tat

Incidently - why is this taking so long to download, argh
