Update everything, and check your folders, make sure there aren't any old hacks you might've uh..."experimented" with and forgot were there.

Were you using anticheat and stock R1Q2? The only reason it would kick you for a "hacked" client would if it was modified from a stock version.

what is anti cheat and how does this work with rich client , back when i played 7 to 8 years ago the anti cheat was built into the clients . my r1q2 is very old as well v6.5.5.5 i think.  No experiments with old hax , if you seen any old demoes of me playing on this sit there wouldnt even be a questionable doubt . loved the tdm but was never very good at it LOL

[Spawn.Ds]

ahh and ty for the link to the updated r1q2

Update : new download had the anticheat.dll in it , again thank you very much for the helpful information .

[fdrjk]

Ahh... old R1Q2 might have done it. Although, it could have been an error with q2admin. Either way, np for the info.

Anticheat is a DLL that gets loaded by some clients, such as r1q2 and q2pro for example, that examines files that are loaded into your client for what might be considered cheats. The "legal" modified paks and files can be different depending on the admin settings of the server you are on. The spectrum is fairly consistent but there is room for variation.

The reason it's in a DLL is because there are certain techniques it uses to prevent hacking of the DLL to mask cheats. This is what happened to no-cheat clients, the code was hackable, making them useless.

These hack-suppression techniques also account for the false-positive alerts your anti-virus scanners might issue when they scan the DLL since the anti-hacking code looks like malware to the A-V scanners. Put the DLL into your Quake2 root and put it on your A-V product's safe list.

I have heard there are ways to make a literal hacked .dll version of anticheat (someone a couple years back apparently made one).  I guess thankfully cheating in a game as old as this is seen as pointless.   

[fdrjk]

You heard wrong.

[metaL]

Lol there will always be cheaters

just like spawn.

jk

A hacked .dll for anticheat does not exist, nor will I think it will ever exist.
