Fixing Counter-Strike

1
Who knows how long the Counter-Strike 'hit box' problems have been around, seems like forever. But they are finally fixing it! Counter-Strike.net has a server side patch to fix the "invincible legs" bug.

We've released a 1.1c Server Side only patch for server admins to grab and install. This is mainly a fix for the "invincible legs" bug when using certain weapons. There are a few lingering hitbox issues that will have to be addressed in a client side patch or upgrade (probably 1.2).

Additionally a the same thread on ShackES that I spotted the word on the new Counter-Strike describes another bug that you're able to flashbang everyone on the map from a single spot. Doh. Instead of discreetly notifying the CS team of the bug though XSR felt it was necessary to post a demo demonstrating for everyone how to take advantage of the exploit. (yes I realize Maarten mentioned this yesterday but I thought it was a bigger deal)

Steve Gibson is the cofounder of Shacknews.com. Originally known as sCary's Quakeholio back in 1996, Steve is now President of Gearbox Publishing after selling Shacknews to GameFly in 2009.
