Recently there's been a bug with all weapons, not just the flamethrower. Such as crit sounds when firing normal rockets and such.

I hadn't realized that modified VPK files were OK this whole time. Kind of defeats the entire point of sv_pure. Come to think of it, wasn't attempting to play online with a modified GCF grounds for a VAC ban, back in the day?

I think the important part is what kind of vpk the game considers each file to be. Messing with the core game files is detected as corruption, but just using correctly labeled modifications is not.

No legitimate mod should be messing with the stock VPKs. Ever. Valve designed the engine to accept duplicate files as overrides for a reason.
