--- Quote from: Pecon on December 31, 2013, 12:52:18 AM ---The only protection is prevention. More people need to have appropriate anti-malware installed on their computers and servers. Botnets (which provide the backbone for any DDoS attack) rely on coordinating computers that have been infected by the botnet to attack specific targets. If every computer in the world had appropriate anti-malware, botnets would be a million times harder to create and maintain. --- End quote --- If your plan involves everyone in the world doing something exactly right, your plan will fail. Anti-malware is a tiny bandaid on a hemorrhaging wound. The entire method by which we run computer programs is fundamentally flawed and cannot be fixed with updates, patches or security software. The entire system needs to be torn down and rebuilt. |

Got any clue when things will be functioning properly for everyone, Badspot? Also, if this is interesting at all or means anything, when I launch via the launcher, I can't connect. ...but when I launch it through Steam, it works fine. I haven't had an authentication problem yet, and I just tested it again. |

Bypassing it via steam seems to work. |

Things work like a charm, with the exception of a few hiccups for me here and there. |
