Server Config: equalModRequired = 1 still a must have ?
New, NormalPublic

Description

Hello,

This page here, https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/server.cfg
tell us to use verifySignatures and not equalModRequired.

But verifySignatures dont stop a player with a outdated mod.
EqualModRequired instantly drop a "bad version" popup and force the player to update his mods

So is here only one reason not to use equal and Verify at the same time ?
Why we should accept players with outdated mods on the server?

Regards

You should not use equalModRequired at all its a deprecated function.
Use verifySignature 3 because thats what you are looking for

Please test it on your end :)

Copy paste,is a proof for nothing

Verifysignature 3 makes it so you cant use outdated mods it doesn't let you join.
If the mods on the server is the latest and the player doesnt have it = not being able to join.
If the player has the latest mod and the server is not updated = not able to join.

I don't know what else to tell you ?
it works for everyone else

Okay....please.

Please try it on your end with diff mods, so u can stop posting this nonsense.
The only way to drop a "bad version" popup clientside.... is equalmod 1

BUT, this is not a global issue, the source of the problem is Dayz tools and broken signature - shared over the half WS.

So, test it...and dont copy paste - what u read before or what the devs try to tell u - its not always the truth.

Im running my own server and it works ive told you.
If there is a mod that hasn't been updated since they introduced verifysignature 3 , then you need to contact the author to update with the new key.

if the server is setup correctly it works.
Like it does for everyone else but you but keep blaming everyone else and telling them they are wrong no one will help you

Ah it works for everyone else ? Are u sure...

Test it....pick up a older mod and test it.

"pick up an older mod" , i told you if it hasnt been updated with the v3 keys you need to contact the mod author.
BI can't do anything about this its up to the modders to update their mods..

equalrequierd is deprecated like i told you and replaced with verifysignature 3 which works.
what are you trying to achieve with the ticket?
