Sv_pure 2 is a complete mess.

['Jin よぞら]

I can't even join ANY server with sv_pure 2 (if youre asking why, people is full on that server but I cant join). Is it my addons? Even so, it should'nt kick me out of it rather just disable them and not show ingame server BUT NO. Just kick the person instead.

I have little knowledge about sv_pure command but if you do, elaborate on the differences on sv_pure 1 and 2. Give me some good things and bad things about them, maybe it will clear up some confusion I have since sv_pure 2 servers always kick me out.

My understanding of sv_pure 2 is that it will disable all workshop mods. Do you have any mods installed manually?

"If you set sv_pure to 2, then the server will not even load the pure_server_whitelist.txt file. Instead, it will apply the from_steam attribute to all materials, models, and sounds. This can be useful for competitive matches where one team is hosting the game. The team who is not hosting the game can look in their console at round start and see which sv_pure mode the server is using. If the server is using sv_pure 2, then the non-hosting team can know that the players on the hosting team are not using custom content."

Remove all your mods then you'll be able to play on such servers. (verify game cache as well cause it seems your mods aint from workshop....)

All of my mods is from workshop, only visual change for single-clients, excluding an fps config (which I dont even know whether it works or a problem). The idea of removing all of my downloaded mods is ABSURD, it takes time for these and redownloading them just for a server is just ridiculous. (note that I STRONGLY think that it is just bad for doing it)

Not to mention the server is just a public PVP match with 32 max people, I dont even think that it is competitive, is there any other way to join?

EDIT: Also, verified my mods a lot of times but nothing is broken

Some mods are not optimized at all and won't allow game to use default file when joining an sv_pure 2 servers.

Btw, when a server is set this way it is obviously to block mods such as bright skins as these can be considered cheating...

['Jin よぞら]

By blocking every mods. Great.

I wish NWI would just make a disable and enable tick box or button so we can choose whether to enable them or not, like l4d2 type. It would clear this mess much easier.

Admins have the power to pick and choose which files can be modded but not many do.

They can modify pure_server_whitelist.txt to their liking. In mine I allow most mods but block character skins and that’s pretty much it.
