About "-enablefakeip"

Hello Orinuse,

I noticed that you updated the Command Line Options page with the idea that "-enablefakeip" applies to CS:GO. i'm curious about this, as i've seen no sign of this option taking effect. Can you elaborate on this please, I would appreciate it.

Best regards, wind

Before I begin, I'll have to make a disclaimer that the evidence I had is currently not with me as I've uninstalled CS:GO recently, so whatever I tell you requires your own confirmation for now.

Regarding your question, I did a text search on all the DLL files in the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive/bin folder and discovered a -enablefakeip string, possibly in engine.dll? Regardless what the DLL file may be, after I added it into my launch options and, if my memory serves me right, my console then had a message informing it was "Requesting FakeIP" and also it would assign me an "anonymous server ID" whenever I created my own server. Additionally, the sv_cheats was forcefully enabled like in TF2.

That all said, I am unsure if the -dev option is required for all of these to take effect, but I assume not because TF2 does not need it.

After fruitless attempts, I checked engine.dll and engine2.dll (CS2) and didn't find "-enablefakeip" in them, though I did find it in the same files for TF2. Perhaps Valve incorrectly configured it for Counter-Strike before, but it has now been removed.
