You were fast on that one Garry.

You gotta admit, its pretty neat and nice of the guy to make a sort of literal "virus" spread through gmod instead of abusing it maliciously.

Nice one Garry

[QUOTE=kidkiller745;44586417]You gotta admit, its pretty neat and nice of the guy to make a sort of literal "virus" spread through gmod instead of abusing it maliciously.[/QUOTE] Maybe it's just a way of showing the exploit in a non harmful way instead of actually intending to make a full-blown virus.

[QUOTE=Magman77;44586460]Maybe it's just a way of showing the exploit in a non harmful way instead of actually intending to make a full-blown virus.[/QUOTE] If I wanted to get a devs attention nice and fast, this is probably what I'd do, send out something non-malicious that also shows that it can be fucking dangerous. If it was just sending it over gmod chat that would be one thing, but it was sending it over steam chat as well, meaning it can do FAR more then just affect gmod

This is present in all Source games? I wonder if this is what yesterday's TF2 patch with no patch notes was for.

[QUOTE=Handsome Matt;44587272]Its not. TF2 is still affected.[/QUOTE] how do you know?

*cough* [editline]*cough*[/editline] *cough* [editline]*cough*[/editline] *cough* [editline]*cough*[/editline] *cough* [editline]*cough*[/editline] *cough* [editline]*cough*[/editline] *cough* [editline]*cough*[/editline] *cough* [editline]*cough*[/editline] *cough* [editline]*cough*[/editline] *cough*

If there's something I learned from Pandemic, it's that coughing usually leads to total organ failure

[QUOTE=Handsome Matt;44587284]Because I just tried it.[/QUOTE] Damn, that sucks. I was just getting back into the TF2 groove and now I have to avoid it until it's fixed. :(

[QUOTE=Shugo;44589038]Damn, that sucks. I was just getting back into the TF2 groove and now I have to avoid it until it's fixed. :([/QUOTE] This exploit has been around in Source games since the beginning. If it hasn't happened by now, than I doubt it'll happen anytime soon, and like Matt said, it will only happen to poorly configured servers.

[QUOTE=kidkiller745;44586417]You gotta admit, its pretty neat and nice of the guy to make a sort of literal "virus" spread through gmod instead of abusing it maliciously.[/QUOTE] Now that you said it, I finally got the virus' joke.

Gentlemen it's still out on Garry's Mod, I suggest staying on servers that your are familiar with. As for Server owners, I suggest you ban anyone with the name VIN'HLL FIX IT@@ or saying *cough* *cough*

that is a stupid solution BAN PEOPLE WHO ARE UNKNOWNINGLY INFECTED, THAT'LL STOP EM no it won't, and you come off as a cunt in a way aswell

First time I've ever heard of this bug.
