hey guys need some help with this...

Hey guys, I searched for this and not quite sure what section I should post in, but I'm running into a bit of a problem. So my friends and I were playing a versus match with a D-bag, whos running his mouth off... so We started talking him to shut up and just play, and instead of moving on, we all started just moving forward and only having the ability to melee.... I checked my cfg and keybinding options and they were changed. So we left and rebound all our keys and continue to play, but everytime we play we keep going back to the same server. Is there a config hijack out there that anyone know of? and how do I fix it because I went through all my cfgs trying to find the search key that might be looking for that same server but I could not find a resolution. Help please.

hmm... did you try changing your search key to something completely different or using ms_force_dedicated_server which forces a certain IP thus eliminating common searchkey problem?

edit: And i dont understand the whole ordeal. Why did you have to change your keys and such?

Well a better way to explain this is, all of us were on survivors, and the d-bag was on infected talking alot of smack, so we told him to just stfu and play. After that, one of my friends started to only be able to walk forward and melee, then it happened to me, then it happened to one of my other friends. So we all left and checked our key binds, and sure enough, they've been modified... I've heard of cfg hijack through a server plugin, so I guess he had admin access or rcon or something. Anyways, after that, we tried to start a new game in versus, and everytime we search up a server from lobby, its been his server... and the key bind change happened again when we were trying to play on that server. So I was wondering if somehow we've been forced to search for that particular server when we play and was wondering if anyone know any info on this.

Wow... if this is true, I certainly have never heard of anything like it. Im not sure how it would work like this though. I dont even think it is possible to permanently change client side stuff like that.

edit:
The only thing I can think of to fix is reinstall l4d.

sigh, it might come down to that, but I just didn't expect such immaturity in the online gaming community now a days. If its such an exploit to hack someone's cfg account just by being in the server, I really don't trust the security of my computer now...

Lol yeah have any of you guys played css well if you have some severs change your ticket rate for you like lets its a 100 tick sever and your at 60 and it will change it to 100.

And the sever owner i think can change your name and binds cause i remember when i joined a sever when i pressed my fire key it would BAM BAM!! lol fun times..... but yeah just look at the cfg delete everything i cause and dont worry about your comptures security and unless you have been looking at porn.....

Ps: its not a glitch

This used to be an actual server cvar, to limit the range of cmdrate and updaterate to prevent people from exploiting them. As far as I know it's now semi-automated so you don't need to manually set them, and rates can't go beyond certain values or the server will cap it off.
