MaydaX Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Nothing to worry about. It's a custom md5 check a server admin has added to his/her server. Not sure why as it's a stock config file the game uses. If I recall it just means the check tried to read 404 bytes (SZ404) but the file was smaller so it gave that READ_FAIL error instead. EDIT: There are two special cases. First, if a filename is specified that does not exist, the MD5Tool utility program will output a line that ends with "NOT_FOUND". This may be useful to admins who want to make sure that players do not have a file with a specific name. For example, in Quake3, it may be useful to know that players do not have a baseq3/pak9.pk3 file. The second special case is if parameters are specified such that the MD5Tool utility program tries to read beyond the end of the target file. In this case, a line that ends with "READ_FAIL" will be output. We encourage admins to not use any file checks that contain a "READ_FAIL" message. http://www.evenbalance.com/index.php?page=md5tool.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSMagnet Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 user.cfg is going to be different almost every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freakzter Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 The user.cfg is forbidden in the ESL, it might have been a server which is used for matches. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
