New hack that crashes everyone in the server.

[ferdᵍᵃᶰᵍ]

Yup, its over for real this time.

My game crashes with some hl2.exe error saying "insufficient memory" and I go to rejoin the game and everyone from the server was disconnected, I was the only one on my team when I rejoined the server.

Someone has made a hack that crashes everyone out of the game. Valve isn't going to do anything about this exploit/hack so playing on casual will officially die soon.

I am starting to think that Valve outsourced someone to purposefully hack in TF2, ruin it for anyone who wants to play it.

Please don't fear monger, this is the type of exploit Valve patches rather quickly.

But yes, there is an exploit that allows decals to crash players who have them enabled.
Simply disable them to be unaffected.

It seems it’s an issue with conscientious objectors and their file sizes

I haven't encountered a single game where this has happened yet

Have your doubts.

Remember the custom HUD exploit that allowed you to literally enable client-side sv_cheats with the tick of a checkbox?

Remember when chat could be entirely erased by newline characters?

Remember every time Delphy released a massive map-breaking exploit video and there suddenly being a TF2 update a week later?

Remember when bots could steal the player ID of anyone they wished and have the profile redirect to the real person they were impersonating?

;P

Yet frontier oob exploit still exists and it has been like that for months
They do not even need to issue a client update, just do some friggin' png validation server side wtf

I still see people exploiting on Nucleus, Borneo and several other maps...

They never update the game in meaningful ways anymore. They don't fix broken characters and mechanics, they just let it ferment until people get sick of it.

I'm tired of this nihilistic optimism that is being thrown around. Meaningless hope for this kind of stuff. If this ever gets fixed, there will be more and more and valve usually never fixes their ♥♥♥♥.

The only thing keeping this game alive is the people who have dedicated so much time and money to it, nothing more.

Yet nearly nobody actually executes those OOB exploits. And the ones that were constantly being used did get patched.

But yes I agree, will be interesting to see which they end up doing

If it is only 3 or so people actively working on the game, 1 of which only porting it to x64, then it makes sense.

They are not obliged to keep the lights on, but they do appear to care enough to fix things that break the game. Players having the power to crash any player is obviously pretty severe, I doubt they will sleep on this one.

Game mechanic tweaks, character changes, and even bot fixes are significantly more leg-work than what is going on here.

My first game in TF2 casual after a week break, I got a hacker that immediately crashed the server after he joined. Casual is pretty much dead at this point, which it sucks to see.

It’s not a hack, it’s an exploit from conscientious objectors

Optimism or not, Valve cares about fixing severe exploits like crashes and security vulnerabilities. They don't do much anymore, but this is something they continue to fix, even with their constant neglect otherwise.

You know what else is severe? Every game being filled by hackers.

Valve only has like 500 people working for them, and make billions a year. If that isn't greed idk what is. all they need are people who will actually fix the nonsense they refuse to.

The community would gladly do that job, but nah, greed. They just want to sit on TF2's bleeding body and suck as much blood from it as possible. If valve let the community help update and fix the game, this game would survive for so much longer. And I don't mean that community works on one project in a blue moon type of crap, I mean they should take people from the community, who would GLADLY WORK FOR FREE, and implement them to help with the game.

What was this, "valve isnt going to do anything about this" stuff you were saying?
