Wait so it will download said map's bz2 then if when decompress the map exceeds said limit, the client disconnects?

Since no one from Valve is responding on the mailing lists about this, I filed a bug on the source-1-games bugtracker.

Incidentally, this is also apparently happening on CS:GO since its Wednesday update. Meaning that all of Valve's currently maintained games that support fastdl of maps are affected (DOTA2 and L4D2 don't support it).

That's what it sounds like.

I emailed valve and got this reply:


"Is there a reason that you are not running the map from the workshop?
The fix was to address an unzip-bomb-exploit where a malicious server could fill up user’s HDD by sending a gigantic file compressed to a small number of bytes."


so Im guessing we have to use workshop for all maps from now on......

So to get around that we have to upload to workshop for downloads and affects tf2. Good F***ing job valve you screwed the tf2 community :/

That may work for CS:GO, but the other 4 affected games don't have Workshop support for maps.

Oh, plus it's stupid, but your post was implying that already.

I've fixed it for my server by putting net_maxfilesize back to 16 (default).
