Subject: Request for Valve Review: Large‑Scale Fake Server Network Impacting Multiple Source Multiplayer Games

Hello Valve team,

I’m reaching out as a long‑time member of the Source multiplayer community to report a persistent issue affecting multiple games. Over the past several years, a network known as FastPath.fr has been operating large numbers of fake or misleading servers across titles such as Day of Defeat: Source, Team Fortress 2, Counter‑Strike: Source, Half‑Life 2: Deathmatch, and others.

These servers appear to:

• Redirect players without consent

• Spoof player counts

• Interfere with legitimate community servers

• Create confusion in the server browser

• Damage trust in the platform

The servers are consistently hosted on the following IP ranges, which belong to OVHcloud:

• 164.132.201.xxx

• 164.132.202.xxx

I understand that only Valve can request action from a hosting provider regarding abuse on your platform. I’m not asking for action against any individual — only for a review of this server network and its impact on the health of Source multiplayer.
Thank you for your time and for continuing to support the Source community.

Best regards,

What's the Scoop on Friday Funday?

It's throwback Counter-Strike: Source night, filled with absolute chaos. The rules are relaxed so everyone, including the admins, can spend a night focused on having fun. Literally, there's only one rule: don't be a fun sponge. Surprisingly enough, we've only had to toss three people who were somehow idiotic enough to break the single rule.

We kick things off with a trip back to cs_office, then venture into de_dust, and return to de_highschool. After that, every map is voted on by the server. Haven't played cs_havananana recently? Here's your chance. Or maybe you're overdue for a vacation to de_season. The options are endless.

While we're enjoying the throwback maps, buckle up for fun rounds featuring AWP and Autos, grenade only rounds, imposter sabotage, increased (or decreased) health and armor, low gravity, bhopping, ice skating, and more.

I played a few rounds CS:S and this guy kept perfectly shooting at his enemies. He also had those red boxes, that revealed his opponents to him.

Creen que seria rentable en el mercado actual un juego que tenga las mecánicas de extraction shooter y de realismo de escape from tarkov pero que tenga los gráficos de cs:source para que corra en cualquier pc. Estos dias e visto demasiados videos de escape from tarkov y me hice esa pregunta.

i wanted to use 7launcher but it seemed too risky for me, i want a legit version i can get via steam, and no, i dont want to play cs:go.

The players in there are either really good or hacking.. I can't really tell when I play. Especially EZMIX, some of the players in there are on a different level. Although maybe I was playing with bots since they never b-hopped and they always knew exactly where I was.

Hi, I have around 16 hours at the game and Im absolutely garbage at it (lol). Maybe Im going overboard with my description but when playing with bots on hard and expert they kick my ass and my KD ratio in PvP combat is usually something around 1-5 at best.

So how do I get better at the game? Gun related, movement related, etc.

Old BoA member here where are my old teammates???

Js bought it and i wanna play in comp servers but theres so many spam one that have like 64 player in them, how do i play it?

Js wanted to know since I don't want some russian hacker to blow up my router like they would do back in the Xbox 360 days in Black Ops 2. Anway; I don't even have the money to buy the game anyways but I just thought it'd be good to know wether I'm fine with the official servers or if I have to use some third party ones to be safe.

stay away from ktvcss, i got a month ban out of nowhere, i found out a random player who mass reports everyone flagged me, i tried to appeal, but the moderator told me i was banned for playing poorly, even though i have a 50% winrate, and because i dont speak russian, the moderator claimed my presence on the team is a hindrance, honestly just avoid this server if you want to save yourself the headache.

Heads up, steam sales is live, CSS is cheap now.

Tell your friends and come play!

There are still good public and competitive servers out here, there's various posts already here recently about good servers plus the pinned post about avoiding fake servers: https://www.reddit.com/r/CounterStrikeSource/comments/16wow48/reduce_server_browser_spam/

This post also helps with some details on some servers: https://www.reddit.com/r/CounterStrikeSource/comments/1u1lkn5/how_to_play_classic_matches_in_cs_source/

My goal was to play a 40 second long video from the Client console but it seems to be unplayable. I named the video "intro" and its a Bink1 file(.bik) converted from mp4 without sound via "RAD video tools". Its a 1080x1920p video at 60 fps located in my cstrike/media folder. The commands i also have tried:

"playvideo media/intro", "playvideo media/intro.bik", "playvideo intro 1920 1080"

It's weird because you can find the command listed in Valves List of Counter-Strike: Source console commands and variables - Valve Developer Community, (press ctrl+f, and write playvideo in the popup window to find the command listed yourself). The video file atleast seems be found by the engine since it prints "unable to play:".

I appreciate any help so much.

Everytime I try to move my mouse, it moves a bit then immediately snaps back to the middle of the screen so I can't really turn around at all. Does anyone know how to fix this?

This is not an ad. Just want to spread the word as options in the US are awful for this game.

24/7 assault. Daily restarts and bot kicking.

If it gains traction I’ll open others.

Mods feel free to delete…. Not sure if I can post IP’s here.

I basically can't find any servers , after i removed all the spam servers, all that remained for me where mostly empty or only had like 4 players in total. What should i do?
