Hey bud, just to let you know there is a bad hack being used to access servers running TAM 257 and 3.0. This hack allows the hacker to gain control of web admin on the server and do all sorts of nasty stuff. You can read more of this at http://www.unrealadmin.org/forums/showt ... hp?t=16042
Wormbo has released a fix for 257 and the guys at 3SPN have released TAM 3.10. I would highly recommend patching to either or both. If you are using your server for TWL TAM ladder matches I would recommend the 257 fix, since they still require 257 for ladder matches. This is a server side only fix. There is a hitch: Once applied to the server anyone who logs onto the server will download the 3SPN257.u fixed file. Since I WILL NOT be redirecting the file for security purposes the download will go over 100%. The work around for this is for folks to install TAM 257 on their client (if they haven't already). They can pick that up at http://www.vipersservers.com/downloads.htm at the bottom of the page. Just install it on your client just as you would any mutator. No need to edit your ini.
If you are NOT using your server for TWL TAM matches I would recommend deleting all previous versions of TAM and installing TAM 3.10. It is already redirected.
Let me know what you want to do ASAP. Once a server is compromised you will have to change all your admin logins and passwords.

Damn a job like that you must feel like that sometimes. Either being the one beaten by the fish, or the one doing the beating. I dont know wats worse. Fish are pretty hard to grab onto specially to beat someone with. Sounds like that kinda job sometimes. But, then again you get special mesages like these that let you know people appreciate you. Thank you for your time. From, pretty much a complete stranger. But, is no stranger to admin and freaking whiners. And freakin hackers, well, how is that fun? It seems to me your defeating the purpose of buying a game for fun and challenges, but then again thats just me.
