The GUID of 0 thingy seems to be fixed in the 1.3 Beta patch, so when
the 1.3 patch eventually comes out, all will be fine.<br>

That makes sense.
That would explain why some people have a GUID sometimes, and don't at other
times.
And yes Curtis...
98% of the people on my servers always have a GUID.

This probably has to do with how the guid system works.
The GUID is probably based on cdkey. It's not a good idea to send the
cdkey to servers, because that would provide server operators a
plenthora of cdkeys. Instead, they are sent to a server at Activision
or IW who computes an md5 hash used for guid and it sends GUID's to the
servers and/or clients. This way guid's can't be faked.
Since there's a third server involved, my guess is that the underlying
framework is unstable and may not yet be complete or may be online at
varying times.
I'm probably not 100% correct on the implementation, but that's close to
what's going on. Until all bugs are hashed out, and punkbuster is fully
implemented, your results will probably vary depending on what's up with
masters.

I was looking for some insight into why it does it.
My theories I cannot prove... :-)
1) Anyone who attaches to server by a "hacked" version of the exe
(cheats, or no-cd hacks, etc...)
2) Anyone who connects to server without connecting through game
(ASE etc...)
Like I said, I cannot validate those theories, however, it seems

give them a GUID 0 when they connect through ASE, only sometimes.
As for the first, when I run across an extremely fishy player (possibly
hacking) first
thing I do is look for GUID. 9 out of 10 times, he has a 0.
So... what I was asking is....
Does anyone know for sure what causes the 0 GUID?

Subject: [cod] 0 GUID
All:
Can anyone on the list confirm why people show up with a GUID 0? I
have noticed some people show up sometimes with a correct GUID and other
times show up with a GUID of 0. Anyone know what causes this?
