Hello,

some of you may have noticed, that there are some Russian and sometimes even Australian communities that are exploiting this bug in order to get more players to their servers.



It works like this : It fakes a server in the community browser with a fake player count so they appear on the top of the community browser many times, player joins the fake server, and then gets instantly redirected to the main server.
This makes an unfair advantage.

I think Valve or Sourcemod coders (if they can possibly fix this) should do something, or just make this thing public for everyone (hit me up in DMs if you know how to make this )

It's really annoying, that's true, however it's not an exploit, they just add multiple IPs to one server.

In fact, it is very annoying. The more interesting question is how he made these fake players. Once upon a time, I came across a server like this, and those players were just not there, but they were being displayed. I wonder how someone programmed it. Did he use any plugin for this? If so, how he programmed it, it must have been very difficult. The fact that he has linked one IP to many servers is obvious. Maybe what he used was an exploit? Does this bug only apply to CS: GO, or is it in other Source games too?

Well, you should stop asking these from in this forum.
This site not support fake servers and any kind fake clients nor give help to do.



In my opinion, this topic should lock and throw in Trash, this just bring curious people to ask wrong things.

Why should it be a problem to discuss this? If you have a problem, you just ignore it?

I didn't mean anything bad. It's just programmatically interesting.

I've done some research about this issue some time ago, so I can share some info with you. The main problem here is CSGO being free to play. You can create as many accounts as you want, and play... or just authenticate and keep some communication beetween Steam+game server.
The author of this hmm lets say "solution" is well known sourcemod coder from Ukraine.
Valve needs to update their master servers algoritms for CSGO. One idea I have is just adding extra IP check to know how many accounts are connected from the same IP to the server.
EDIT: Easier solution for Valve - checking if VAC is really enabled on server.
What you all can do to fight this is sending e-mails to Valve/CSGO developers, and maybe one daythere will fix this. In my opinion making this more public can also help, because at some point they will have to do something with this.
* if I've shared to much info, pleas edit my post and remove this part. I've never used this on any server.
