As you can see from the above link, Linux and OS X games are not adding the required '-steam' launch parameter which results in players on OS X or Linux not being able to join any VAC Secure servers.

A workaround for this is to simply add the '-steam' parameter manually into the launch parameter field, however Steam is supposed to do this automatically.

This is because of the somewhat-legacy way steam launches SDK mods, I'll take a look.

In the meantime, -steam in the launch parameters is the best workaround.

Have there been any updates on this or are we still advised to use the -steam launch parameter?
