So what's the reasoning behind dropping CleanDoD now? There's been no mention as to the WHY.
I remember a time when 90% of pup servers, and I'm pretty damn sure, even TPG, REQUIRED PunkBuster Anti-Cheat.
And since Valve kicked them out of the AC game, I think something else should definitely replace it.

Per the developer (owner), he got a couple of offers to buy his program and all rights to it so he is selling it.

waitwaitwaitwaitWAITWAIT. You're using Norton? Like, on purpose?

LMAO....Norton is THE worst antivirus program EVER! Your computer will thank you if you burn Norton from it's hard drive.
Microsoft Security-Essentials and MalwareBytes Free edition are the only anti-crapware programs you could ever need. Both Free.

Lol, why would people be lying about having issues with this program? Also, when you played on that setup, were you running CleanDoD? Because that's kind of what we're talking about here.

But we're probably all just scheming because we hate the idea of having an AC client. The cheaters are everywhere and they're out to get you, and no one has CleanDoD issues.
I had the k6-2 about 10 years ago. I am unable to try Cleandod on it lol.

My lack of computer knowledge has had vicious consequences here. I still don't like that some people seem to think that the problems that some individuals are having are fabricated.

LOL

had no issues on my end and it was my first time ever using it. game felt exactly the same to me. had questionable hit reg at times but i always complain of hit reg when i need to complain/rage lol and i'm sure our new server we just got set up could use some finetuning here or there but overall the match played out fine for everyone on both teams (as far as i'm aware) other than what jakimo and dan johnson had to deal with. joey had a minor hiccup with dod crashing and after restarting his PC it then worked fine. i'm running an i7 2600k, 16gb ram, solid state, nvidia gtx 670 with windows 8.

p.s. i vote for some kind of AC client should it not "rustle the jimmies" of so many people lol. sure, all the idiots get caught without an AC but honestly not everyone is that dumb lol. anyone with half a brain can use them discreetly/minimally enough throughout matches when they need them without ever making it look like they used anything (toggle walls off for a quick peek before turning them back on as to not accidentally find oneself tracing/looking where they shouldn't be while giving him/herself a pretty accurate idea of where players are coming from without being obvious in the slightest). i like having the peace of mind that everyone is competing fairly and no one is trying to pass off bullshit as legitimate skill in their quest to become the best player at an old game. that alone makes the game more fun for me as opposed to having to wonder about the legitimacy of things that happen throughout a match just because of the simple fact of how accessible the cheats seem to be.

by **Jakimo** » Mon Aug 05, 2013 9:38 am

dont get me wrong, i love the idea of an AC client, we were even planning on starting onclient 12 mans only in a locked channel.
after the sunday match however, im rethinking the idea. at least until i get this problem solved. lagging like that reminded me of the warcraft 2 BNET edition days where i was always the last to load and then lag out.

ran fine the first time i used it in a pub. using cleandod last night proved otherwise. game did feel just a tad sluggish and 3 separate times i had flushentitypacket errors which completely froze my game for 1-3mins. I havent had that error since 4 years ago when i played on wireless. I was 3 hours away from the game server location, no choke no loss and I changed my rates around to see if that helped....and no it didnt.

not trying to bitch, i understand the point of cleandod just not sure about it.

Same thing happened to me. I created an exception to allow the program to run, but I do feel a bit uncomfortable about using it.

by **Joey** » Mon Aug 05, 2013 5:03 am

I hadn't had a problem with cleandod until yesterday night before our game, starting the report somehow crashed dod twice as it was loading up BUT a restart solved it and it worked perfectly again after. I am pretty sure that was something conflicting on my end though and not cleandod, pretty happy with how it all works tbh and nobody else on my team mentioned having any problems.

by **lerfooled** » Mon Aug 05, 2013 2:31 am

i had onboard gfx...... i don't lie.

by **Manner** » Mon Aug 05, 2013 1:52 am

Worked like a charm for me.

But one player in my team had some major problems. The game crashed for him every now and then. Guess he had to restart dod around 6-7 times during 40 min.

by **Crono** » Mon Aug 05, 2013 1:47 am

Only one person had problem with it on my team. It's a okay ac but seems like it's causing more trouble than helping.

by **Theworst** » Mon Aug 05, 2013 1:15 am

Messed around with this, not a single lag spike/fps drop/freeze up.

Processor: AMD Athlon(tm) II Dual-Core M320 (2 CPUs), ~2.1GHz
Memory: 4096MB RAM
Available OS Memory: 3838MB RAM

No idea what is causing the problems for others.

also when i actually killed people thru all the terrible lag im not making up, their corpses stayed standing up. feet into the ground up to the shins. then eventually just disappear.

by **ward** » Sun Aug 04, 2013 9:23 pm

I love how you guys claim it lags you during normal play time, but all you have to do is use a process monitoring program to realize that it barely even utilizes shit. Time to upgrade from the AMD K6-2 processors from 2003.

I didn't have any problems but 3 teammates did. Seems to be making a lot of people frustrated, and means people on a mac can't play. Vote no.

lag spikes every 2 seconds, for up to 3 seconds at a time. multiple times i thought the server crashed or i dropped.
every time i quick switched i lag spiked each and every time.
every time an enemy became visible in my scope i lagged, once again for about a second.
i lag spiked so often that it felt like 40 fps, i couldnt even turn my mouse without lagging.
after raging some i switched to light, was easier with the constant lag spikes, but was just as intolerable.
take a watch and count to 3. enough time to fucking fap. imagine that every 2 seconds.

windows 7, i play on a laptop and i know about most of my problems. i didnt have this problem on night cup night, so ide like some help with this, if not, im not playing this season. that was intolerable. no point whatsoever of even trying.

I have a fairly good pc and I still got some random lag spikes. sometimes it was ping and sometimes fps. I dunno if its the client or what but its never happened. it could have been the map, never had this probably on the old map either.

Are you on windows 7? Do you see a blue and yellow shield icon on the start report button? If so, save yourself time and click the start report button right away and it will restart the program again and count down from 60. It needs administrator priviledges.

I just don't get what is wrong with screenshots and demos.

If someone's cheating it's pretty obvious. I would think there are enough people who have played this game long enough to be able to tell fairly confidently if a person is cheating.

In that case, I'd say using a client that flips off everyone using a Mac should not be used. Kind of makes the game less accessible.

I've seen lots of clients come and go, and they've been mostly useless. No use cutting out any portion of the community so we can watch this thing catch one or two really stupid people.

Forgive me if I'm misinterpreting this exchange, but how is playing with a malfunctioning client doing anything to prevent the game from dying? I have not even tried the client yet but if it turns out to be as bad as some people are saying I would probably just save myself the hassle and not play this game in TPG anymore.

Lots of people have said that it's resulted in having to reinstall Steam and all their games, others have said it's terrible in-game, etc. If it is that bad and we are forced to play with it, there's a chance it could actually kill the game faster

But again, let me know if I'm missing something here.
