anticheat crash using software renderer

[mhanor]

i'm using r1q2 with the software renderer and after entering a connect command, just after the game writes "loading anticheat", the game exists with the window box "Failure code (0x80000009)", every time

I'm using the latest version of r1q2+anticheat

this anticheat solution works only with opengl renderers? I have no problem playing in software r1q2 on servers without anticheat

It should work fine with software. Does it happen with all AC servers?

[mhanor]

I've tried to connect to these anticheat servers many times each with the following results:

217.8.180.90:27911 - most of the times, it writes unknown renderer (q2 console message) or crashes with 0x80000003 (sometimes)
q2.computergames.ro:27910 - most of the times, it crashes with 0x80000009; or outputs unknown renderer message (q2 console message, but this console message is very rare on this server)
81.161.189.191 - it writes unknown renderer (q2 console message)

On distant servers (such as the 1rst and the 3rd in the list), sometimes I get in the game but it kicks me out with the message unknown rederer (q2 console message from anticheat) or it crashes (like it does sometimes with 217.8.180.90:27911). I couldn't crash the client on 81.161.189.191. The server q2.computergames.ro:27910 is the closest and it crashes almost every time and almost instant after it writes "loading anticheat" in r1q2 console.

Make sure you are using ref_soft from the 3.20 release, other versions will not work. To be sure, here is the clean version:

oops...  hmm... I have Quake2 3.19 july 2007 build (the steam version)

and the renderers differ also... thanks... I don't know why they recompiled 3.19 instead of 3.20

PS: it works... thanks

[R1CH]

3.19 was a test version of 3.20, however I don't think anything was changed between the test and release, although the files themselves may be different. I can't imagine why Steam would distribute 3.19 files though! Maybe you should contact them about it as I'm sure it could happen to other users.

I already submitted a question to steam

the renderers (soft and gl) are different from the original 3.20 renderers
the baseq2\gamex86.dll file is identical with the original... also the extra pak files are identical to those included in the quake2 3.20 full patch...

strange mixing of files... probably they recompiled the renderers, not only the exe
I can understand the exe's recompilation, for steam integration... but I don't understand the recompilation of the renderers
