%n

[RRunner]

So i read that %n crashes emperio players...so i tired it out (i havent done this while it worked on legit accounts).

So the last hour i dropped roughly 300-350 players, crashing 4 servers. My god theres alot of funku versions out there....

Would Valve consider this to be fooling around with their product?
Or would i be free to change my name every singel time i play source, kicking people who hasent bought the game?

I dunno, but damn, I have crashed so many warez people its not even funny, I thought most people playing source were legit people.

I doubt the people with legit copies, kicking illegal people from legal servers would get them in trouble.

Valve currently aren't doing anything about the warez kids, why would they suddenly wreak havok on their paying customers?

please refer to this thread for further discussion :

Wait, so to clarify here, the %n trick now only affects the losers who warez'd the game?

hahaha, I think I'm gonna go try that out a few times now. That's too damn good.

Yessir, only people who play cracked CS:S on public servers

all you need is to have %n as your name and then die.

when the %n is broadcasted to the server anyone with a cracked copy will TIME OUT. (aka freeze in place and crash)

anyone with a cracked copy will TIME OUT. (aka freeze in place and crash)

aka easy kills

woah it only effects warez?

 

[Wraith]

yes but they do have a patch out for it so it only affects SOME warez people


still fun though

aka easy kills

lol, not for me though, since I am the one usually who dies to cause it (can't kill when dead )

woah it only effects warez?

yes, the bug was fixed for reg users, but there is a patch as Wraith mentioned :/
