New CVARs

These CVARs did not exist before and were introduced in the ForteAC builds. Set them in the console or in your server config.

g_roundstartdelay

Default: 5 ARCHIVE

Freeze duration (in seconds) at the start of each round for round-based game types. Players cannot move during the countdown. A message sequence counts down from this value and ends with "Go, GLHF!". Set to 0 to disable the freeze entirely.

Usage: set g_roundstartdelay 5

g_preventghostwalk

Default: 0 ARCHIVE

Prevents "ghost walking" — an exploit where rapidly switching weapons resets leg animation timing, making the player appear to glide. When enabled (1), leg animation timing is preserved across weapon switches.

Usage: set g_preventghostwalk 1

g_headstand

Default: 0 ARCHIVE

Controls whether players can stand on other players' heads (headstand / head-pushing). When set to 0 (default), head-standing is disabled, restoring classic 1.x behavior. Set to 1 to allow players to jump on and stand on each other.

Usage: set g_headstand 0

g_spectatefix

Default: 1

Controls spectator mode behavior. 0 = original game spectator camera, 1 = Volute spectator fix.

Usage: set g_spectatefix 1

sv_autokick

Default: 0 ARCHIVE

Automatically kicks clients that fail sv_pure file validation after the specified number of seconds. Requires sv_pure to be enabled. When a client is detected as "unpure" (invalid or missing pk3 files), a timer starts and the client is kicked when it expires. Set to 0 to disable auto-kicking.

Usage: set sv_autokick 30 — kick unpure clients after 30 seconds

Modified CVARs (Defaults & Flags)

These existing CVARs had their default values, allowed ranges, or flags changed.

CVAR	Old Default	New Default	Notes
`com_maxfps`	85	250	Frame rate cap raised significantly
`cl_maxpackets`	30	125	Packets/sec increased; range clamped to [30, 125]
`cl_autoRecordDemo`	0	1	Automatic demo recording forced on
`s_ambientVolume`	1.00	0	Ambient sounds disabled by default
`s_initsound`	1	1	CHEAT flag added (was unprotected)
`g_teamkillkick`	5	0	TK kick disabled by default
`cg_fov`	65–120	80–96.42	Min raised to 80, max lowered to ~96.42
`r_gamma`	max 1.0	max 2.0	Gamma range extended to [0.0, 2.0]

All Changes

New on-screen Anticheat HUD (configstring index 255) in bottom-right corner shows real-time sv_pure status: green "Clean (X/Y)", red "Unclean (X/Y)", or grey "Anticheat Off"
sv_autokick system: auto-kicks unpure clients after a configurable delay
Broadcasts names of unclean players to all clients at round start
Round-start freeze: configurable countdown via g_roundstartdelay with on-screen messages
Ghost walk prevention: g_preventghostwalk preserves leg animation across weapon switches
Head-stand control: g_headstand disables standing on players' heads (restores 1.x behavior)
Damage angle fix: corrected bug where damage yaw was clamped instead of roll, fixing spurious view tilt
FOV range tightened: 80–96.42 (was 65–120) for competitive fairness
Spectator fix enabled by default via g_spectatefix
Removed hint text overlay ("Press Use to follow player", etc.) from spectator view
com_maxfps raised from 85 to 250
cl_maxpackets raised from 30 to 125 (range-clamped)
Automatic demo recording on by default (cl_autoRecordDemo 1)
Intro sequence skipped (cl_playintro 0 forced)
Ambient sounds disabled by default (s_ambientVolume 0)
Team kill kick disabled by default (g_teamkillkick 0)
r_gamma maximum extended from 1.0 to 2.0
