CoD4 QCUP - Config Update #2

image: v4

This is an important update for all teams currently participating in the Crossfire QCUP Call of Duty 4 tournament.

You may remember we decided to switch the required configuration for all Call of Duty 4 QCUP games from PAM to DAM in the light of some lean bugs which were discovered. After even more testing and some excellent info from Germany Trigger and Sweden mintr we have decided to amend those rules.

The bugs, largely known as "lean bugs" are now known to have only been present on LINUX servers and were not related to PAM. When a player leans, his 'hitboxes' mess up producing some undesirable effects. It effectively makes bullet registration completely random if you are shooting a player who is leaning. Unfortunately this bug was fully exploitable at certain positions on most maps.

All teams who are playing Match #3 games are now free to use the current PAM4 Beta 2 using the pam_mode crossfire setting. Any teams playing on a LINUX server must ensure their server has the 1.3 fix installed which can be downloaded from here.

Once again we would like to thank everyone who contacted us regarding this issue and please don't hesitate to contact us about any other issues. We will be in #crossfireqcup on QuakeNet if you would like to call us names, castrate us or just generally make fun of us if we have caused you any trouble with these changes.
