So the img is pretty self explanatory,

So what's been happening with this game is that, apart from being VAC or server banned (which I was not), there seems to be an implemented mechanism, which allows a Client-sided ban on a selected account,
Now:

- Has anyone ever heard of this?
- If so how to circumvent it?
- Could it spread to other HL2 applications?


So how this works; after cheating in a server, the server owner contacts the game developer who takes care of these bans. Basically very simple yet very effective,
And I'm looking to circumvent it, Any guys know how?


Perhaps blocking certain ports? (server verification)
Maybe a file reset?
Or maybe a good steamID spoofer or anything that would replicate the changes using a new account makes since idk if steamID will cut it for the engine








As for the moderator viewing this, this is an important thing which should not be neglected
I mean this is NEVER heard of in source games and should be detected by this community
