OMG, CS admins who abuse their power seriously piss me off...

I was just enjoying some early morning scoutzknivez when, even though I didn't realize it, apparently I made some guy mad by headshotting him 3 rounds in a row. He started getting really cocky and telling all his clanmates that I was hacking (I've never used hacks in CS) so they did something that seriously screwed up CS completely, all the sounds are screwed up so it nearly blows my speakers every time I mouseover the menu items. I can't move around when I join any server now and my name automatically changes back to "looser" after I change it. Not to mention this screeching sound will not stop as long as I'm in the game.

Fvck the game, I've been looking for an excuse to stop playing it and it looks like I've finally got one.

Scan for viruses, and re-install I guess.

nah, this game is too much of a time waster. i think i'm just going to take a break from it for a while.
 
Report it to Steam if you have enough info...even if you do, they probably won't do anything 😛

Also make your config file (in your steam/CS directory somewhere) read only, that way, admins can't change it. Though they shouldn't be able to anyways, another bad bug Steam hasn't recognized, even though it's an old old bug.

Might want to set up a firewall too, if you don't have one up already.

CS is lame anyways, so it'd be better if you just quit.

try solitaire,
I enjoy that, and less stress. 🙂
 
Admins can indeed do this if they have the right scripts installed. It's a way of sending a message to cheaters that their presence won't be tolerated, unforuntately if you end up on the wrong server and it's run by little kids, they'll do it just for kicks.

And if I hear one more "Check your autoexec" comment I'm going to start slapping people

You think the admins did this to your computer or just another hacker player?

Way back when I used to play CS, I helped to admin a very large community. There were scripts and functions we had available to us that would allow us to virtually remap a player's entire config. I never used it because I thought it was rather malicious, but it's for real.

I always enjoy when you start pwning some clan they immediatly claim your hacking and start crying.

While I haven't played CS in a while, I do play a bit of HL2😀eath Match and had a guy actually say that he hates me. Does he want me to hold his hand while we bake cookies or what?

Man, I hate that kind of sh1t. It hasn't happened to me since pre-CS retail (when I played an ungodly amount), but I was constantly accused of hacking because I was "too good". There were a couple servers I was a regular on that they knew better, but in the case of those servers being down or playing maps I didn't like and I had to find a temp to play on, that was the usual result. I wasn't kicked or messed around with all that often and I generally ignored the "HAXOR!!1!!one!" cries. Just annoying.

If they just took the time to spec you, instead of instantly assuming you were cheating.

fvck off.

PM me if you want to know how to fix it. All you need to do is fix your config file, I can send you my (non screwed) one and all your problems will be gone. Then set it to read only as another poster mentioned.
 
thanks for the offer, but i think i'm going to take a little break from it. if i get a random urge to play, i'll probably hop on your source server.
 
lol all they did was change a few commands in your config. go into your cstrike folder and delete your config. then go back into the game and reset everything. now exit the game and set your config file to READ ONLY. this way they can change commands but they won't save to your config and will go back to normal the next time you start up the game.
 
They probably just binded certain keys to change your settings back... so everytime you try and press... say "MOUSE1" it changes them.


The thing I hate is when a server insists on having all these "hilarious" sounds so that the admins can play them to try and be funny... when it takes like... 5 minutes to download them and by the time you do, the server gets filled up. ARGGHH.

There's gotta be a way to turn THAT off, right?
