Forgive my ignorance, but will they really let this through without a working sv_pure? It says right there in the linked article:

[…]

Surely Valve will realise the implications of not having sv_pure working properly? Or is the problem that this new system will make it much harder to differentiate between legitimate customisations and subtle cheating?

With the new system you will need to make sure the server whitelist is correct on the server you play on.

.ps

I thought server whitelists were for items? How will that address the kind of cheating skeej gave examples of? Or do you mean there would be a whitelist of game files that would be checked by sv_pure to make sure only certain types of customisation are allowed?

Crafz

That’s exactly what he is saying. There are currently 3 sv_pure states.
0 = off
1 = white list
2 = everything non-custom forbidden

And the new sv_pure 2 is whitelist based as well.

Not really, 2 is just a fixed version of 1.

‘everything’ would include all .cfg, everything in addons folder, no custom huds. EVERYTHING.

sv_pure 2 just enforces tf/materials, tf/sounds, tf/models and tf/particles to come from the game. Everything else can be freely modified, sv_pure 1 can make this more strict.

L4D(2) and CS:GO’s sv_pure is still broken. Don’t get your hopes up.

In L4D2 they changed sv_consistency to work like sv_pure, without removing sv_pure (nice logic here).
In CS GO, sv_pure works, the system is similar as on TF2 Beta, though there is only sv_pure 1 on CS GO.
It seems like it doesn’t always work correctly though, and can be potentially bypassed.

sv_pure currently doesn’t work at all, it always get me kicked with no files modified.

beta update:

Basic implementation of sv_pure working using signed VPK files. See tf/cfg/pure_server_whitelist_base.txt for more details.
Known issues:
* Clients mounting custom VPK’s might still get kicked when connecting to pure servers.

well, even if it doesnt work, at least they acknowledge the fact we want sv pure :]

Pubbers know about the ways to abuse that, so of course it’s going to be one of their priorities.

pubs are not sv pure

and if they are, they suck

Is this enough confirmation for you? :)
