"Updating Team Fortress Classic"

o_xstioph · 06-08-2005, 05:56 PM

I was just about to play a game of TFC... And the update window came up!?!? What in the name of all that is unholy is going on? This can't be an actual update to TFC can it?

o_ivaqual · 06-08-2005, 06:00 PM

valve released an update to the HL1 engine not long yesterday or today. could be that. i just restarted steam and nothing came up.

o_shadow34721 · 06-08-2005, 07:14 PM

VAC2 I assumed.

Updates to the HL1 Engine have been released. The updates will be applied automatically when your Steam client is restarted. The specific changes include:

HL1 Engine

Fixed several exploits triggered by malicious server operators (found by Stan Bubrouski)

As part of the next version of VAC, which is currently in testing, the Linux game server now must have GLIBC 2.3.2 or above installed

HL1 Engine Master Server Query Protocol
These changes bring the HL1 engine's querying protocol in line with that of the Source engine. If you connect to Steam enabled game servers using a third party tool, you may need to contact the vendor for an update.

Added a challenge number to A2S_PLAYER and A2S_RULES server queries.
Setting "sv_enableoldqueries" to 1 (currently the default) allows old style (no challenge/response) queries to work

Changed A2S_INFO server query to require the string "Source Engine Query" appended to the end of the query packet

Removed support for "info", "infostring", "details", "players" and "rules" queries, use A2S_INFO, A2S_PLAYERS and A2S_RULES instead

They refer to I believe just VAC, not VAC2.

They refer to VAC 2, it says "next version of VAC". However, this update doesn't seem to include *any* VAC update. They're just saying that owners of Linux servers will need a certain requirement (glibc version), once VAC 2 is released for the HL1 engine. Or at least that's how I read it.

o_|404|innoc-tpf- · 06-08-2005, 10:02 PM

Probably just a GLIBC dependencies check with VAC so that the servers will be ready for VAC to when it finally releases. I would suspect that nothing in VAC presently has a newer GLIBC dependency.

/me puts on his Travis Dane costume
/me kicks into Travis Dane mode
/me makes fun of the person he is quoting by posting smart alec remarks

Of course if we have VAC the next version would be *gasp* VAC2.

VAC, the final frontier... these are the voyages of the steamapps... It's continuing mission: to irritate all life, to explore the limits of people's patience, to boldly hold down people's idea of FUN.
