kac_client_antispamconnect problem

So here is the problem. This cvar should protect server from spamconnects (too fast reconnections etc), BUT:
seems that its detecting client only by his ip address, not steamid. For example, i have 2 pcs at home, i play on 1 of pcs, my brother plays on second pc. When map on server changes, we both get 1 minute bans. Seems, that this protection should work on steamid, not ip address. I have turned off this protection, cause many players share the same ip addresses (play from the same LANs etc)..

Yes, it detects by IP because in CS:S and the like (ep1 games) the Steam ID is not sent until later. By which the client would have disconnected.

So for tf2 server there is no use of this feature. I choose better to disable it so server would not ban innocent players. Anyway, thanks for reply :)

KAC 1.2.0.5 should have it disabled by default.

Seems that since kac 1.2.0.6 kac_client_antispamconnect problem is back. You told that you disabled it by default, but now seems that even when this is 0, it still works like being 1. I play with my brother from the same external ip and when new map starts, we get banned for 1 minute. In version 1.2.0.5 i could add kac_client_antispamconnect 0 to server.cfg and we didnt get banned for 1 minute when map changed. So how to fix it ?

Set it to 1 then 0.

Basically add this to your server.cfg

Code: Select all

kac_client_antispamconnect 1
kac_client_antispamconnect 0
