To ensure compliance with the release of VAC 2.0, we are turning off VAC for GoldSrc servers which have not been updated recently.

If your stand-alone dedicated server has not been updated using the hlds_updatetool recently, you will need to run the update to ensure your server is VAC-secured.

Please see the Installing and updating a Dedicated Server topic if you would like instructions for using the hlds_updatetool.

Your server will still be available if you do not update, however, it will not display as a VAC-secured server until the update tool is run.
