Summary
Operation: Harsh Doorstop servers must have a Steam API key to access specific features and config options. This includes VAC protection and banning/player detection. Since VAC protection is the game's primary source of anti-cheat, setting up an API key is essential to creating a secure and cheating-free server. However, VAC will not stop all cheaters, so consider adding a Server Password to prevent random users from joining entirely.
