For all those people

The reason for mostly getting joined steam lobby failed or steam connect failed with cracked 1.0.182 version is because you actually are connecting to the official servers instead on other people's that have cracked as well. So whoever knows a way to not connect to the official ones just say it.

or... fix the error so we can stay on official servers, because im sure theres a way around it. if there wasnt we wouldnt even get that 2 minutes of play time, we'd get the cheat detected message and get kicked right off (in my case) but with this i dont. It bypasses VAC and that is something i like a lot about it. id rather play on official servers.

Agreed. Something beyond IWNet and VAC is causing the problem. I'm about to try the fix myself and see what happens.
