Introduction:
========

FEAR Combat is a free multiplayer game developed by Monolith Productions and published by Vivendi Universal.

This is an community supported update to FEAR Combat that restores and enhances multiplayer features.

SEC2 is a client & server patch for F.E.A.R. v1.08 (Win32/Linux) that offers new features and improved security, as well as restoring multiplayer server list functionality.

The concept is based on the original SEC server patch (created by Sinew), but the code has been re-written entirely from scratch based on the F.E.A.R v1.08 SDK.


Changes on this update:
======
- Fixes issues with the Server Auth domain.
- Removes the need to use LANOnly to allow players to join servers.

Defaults values for SEC2 Options are:

[SEC2]
UseSEC2AltAuth=1
DeadlyFlag=0

IMPORTANT NOTE TO SERVER ADMINS:
This Alternative Auth process breaks compatibility with The Previous CD-Key System.
If you own several Servers, you can opt to disable the UseSEC2AltAuth option in one of your servers, 
to give time to existing players to register to get a CD-Key.
