So the server might be working a little better now but AvaMods still took a severe blow from this latest patch. But at the same time the patch fixes the biggest security flaw in Half-Life that I have ever seen. Thanks to Russians exploiting a server-to-client command method in order to spread a trojan around and create a massive botnet of fake servers that spread the trojan around even more.
At the same time... having Valve close that security issue means they have blocked the usage of that method for anything else as well. Which is where the hit to AvaMods is made..
