>From a recent post at the DailyWTF,
https://thedailywtf.com/articles/the-most-dangerous-game, edited down a bit:
net_socks_buffer_size = 4096; //I wouldn't change this if I were you
net_udp_force_specified_size = false; //overrides what the OS recommends, could disable
// networking and maybe crash the game? who knows
net_max_message_size = 32768; //MUST be power of 2, don't be a dick and make it too big
To which we could add:
net_encryption_key = "rumpelstiltskin" //don't be a dick and use this to break our security
That's so much easier than using all that crypto stuff.
Peter.
