Hello. I'm Martin. I have a question about the ban i got. My story: I was playing in Team Fortress 2 Skial server and just got banned, before i got banned i healed a player. I got ban and a text: Disconnect: You have been banned by this server, check [LINK] for more info.
So i went to the webpage and saw my name. I clicked on it and saw this reason: SMAC 0.8.4.1: ConVar mat_dxlevel violation (bad query result). I don't know what that means, could anyone help me?

I got a ban from another server too. Please help me.

I have never hacked in TF 2 and i don't have any mods, it just is like i installed it in Steam, i have nothing added to it.

Thanks,
Martin.

Your client indicated that the mat_dxlevel cvar did not exist. I checked the current TF2 release and prerelease and in both games the cvar existed.

Do you run Linux or something?

No, i have Windows 8.

Why would any cheat remove mat_dxlevel, lol.

the problem was caused by DirectX 11, which TF2 recognized as "DirectX v0.0"



running TF2 with the launch option -dxlevel 90 solved the problem, and his ban on Skial was lifted

I believe it was added initially to prevent clients from running very old versions of DX, which prevented some textures from being rendered.

Thanks for the info. We'll have to update SMAC to account for this.
