    Until further notice. There's a rather nasty exploit going around at the moment, and for the best interests of everyone, the servers have been taken down. This will remain until we recieve further news.

    Update from Garry:

    Hopefully this includes the fix.

    Why yes Teddi I did read the post. I'm saying that the servers going down to not risk anything, sounds good. Why would I take the time to post if I didn't bother reading?

    2 Questions:

    • What's Garry's Twitter?
    • What's the exploit (not how to do it, just what it does)?

    The exploit allows clients to download / upload files from the server, allowing them to get the rcon password, gamemode, addons, anything. For games like TF2, the worst part is the upload part, but for Gmod, it's real bad both ways. Many communities have switched off their servers until Valve issue the patch.

    This isn't Garry's fault, this is a fault with with the engine itself, which is Valve's problem. They patched TF2 / DoD:S, then L4D the next day. However, 11 hours since Garry released the patch, and still nothing :angry:
