Brooklyn718 10 Posted August 3, 2010 Hello everyone, Is there any way to block players from connecting to the server with ACE without having signed keys set? There are a lot of cool addons out there that dont have keys for servers. I dont mind people using their addons, as long as you arent cheating, but the problem is ACE players crashes the server.

terox 316 Posted August 4, 2010 Equalmodrequired will block any players joining that do not run exactly the same -mod params as the server. This would include Beta patch clients OA Standalone if you are a CO server (or vice versa) and any other custom addon pack along with ofcourse CBA, ACE etc. I would suggest you absolutely run with key signing on and just add a bunch of serverkeys for content you want to support. Alternatively read the very long thread entitled... How to configure your dedicated server so it prevents ACE users joining Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigMorgan 11 Posted August 7, 2010 Key signing is the only real solution. There are mods besides ACE that can wreak relative havoc on a server, after all. And it only takes a couple seconds for a hacker to ruin an entire mission. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
