2.0.7 and 2.55 are unsupported. There are major bugs in these versions, including several that will allow malicious users to take over your server, and possibly the machine it is running on as well. As such, I have no intention of provide ANY support for these versions. I believe cvar restrictions were added in the 3.x versions, but it's certainly not worth my time to check.

The answer to EVERY 2.55 question is upgrade to 2.60b.

thankfully it doesn't... so you'll just have to run your DDOS machine without etpro cvar restrictions

We can help you by continuing to insist that you upgrade to 2.60 or newer. You're shooting yourself and the rest of the internet in the foot by continuing to run a 2.55 server. 2.55 servers are easily exploited, and thus can easily be used as spam/DDoS zombies. You probably already have several rootkits on your server machine.
ET Pro cvar restrictions are not supported in 2.0.7. You will have to upgrade to get that feature.

Cvar restrictions don't affect riva tuner in any case.
