VAC: No Wallhacks

I don't believe that it will eliminate all wallhacks. You know that a few people will still find a way to stay one step ahead of Valve. However, I ain't complaining. Whatever makes cheating less prevalent is a good thing.

Why doesnt block all wallhacks? LoL hl-g has had their anti-wallhack for like 3-4 months or longer and still no one has found a way around it. Not even OGC so if that says anything. Besides if anyone was to make a wallhack to pass VAC/hl-g it would be very hard because VAC and hl-g stop the information needed by a wallhack to work so with no information sending to the client/server the wallhack cannot work!

Yes, but what about the soundhacks ? This information must be available else you have to disable sounds completely or am I wrong ?

And csgamer, I think every player with some experience can tell a good player from a cheater, personally I have seen very few cheaters on the servers I play on. So there are many players who can own me while eating and perhaps play with their cat ;-), but that's okay with me, they probably played a lot more than me or are just gifted, I don't care, I don't play in order to be on top of the scoreboard.

Cheaters make a hack.

Valve stops hack.



How are cheaters one step ahead of valve?

Cheaters make hack

Valve stops hack

Cheaters make workaround

Valve stops workaround

Cheaters make workaround for workaround



Although VALVe is one step ahead, the cheaters always counter. However, this anti-wallhack is a great step for the anti-cheats. gj VALVe.

Nice, GJ VALVe.



I would love if they remove the damned

flashbangs too, because even if they block

all wallhacks then flashbangs etc

still won't affect cheaters. :/



I hate flashbangs, those farking flashbangs...



WellWell, it's very nice to see all these updates though.

Since I also play alot of DOD I'm welcoming all VAC updates. :)



BTW...Did I mention I hate flashbangs?



Again, Good Job VALVe,

keep up the good work! :)

VAC ain't doing much, cheaters are still out there, and what really pisses me off are the people that crash servers if they get kick out for cheating. One cs annoyance after the other.

you are wrong. They do not have to disable all sounds.. The HL engine is set to play sounds you cant hear at 0 volume... it still sends the information for sounds. This would require a patch server-side to figure out which sounds a client actally hears, and which are played at 0 volume. Then stop the 0 volume packets. It would limit a soundhack to a smaller radius.

VAC has eliminated casual cheating. But for those who are really into it, it's not a problem to find a working wallhack or other cheat. This is what's beginning to annoy me... I hope that this wallhack fix is a good one.

there are wallhacks that still work... hlguard doesnt stop it all contrary to what you all think..

PS these cheats will be blockable when the new hl-guard comes out however you still need both the newest vac AND hl-guard to be potected unless of course VALVe steals more of the hl-guard code (and yes they have) where do you think the vac beta wallhack proxy came from.

VALVe and HLG are working toward the same purpose, there is no battle between them. You trying to make one makes you "special". And seeing as you work for VALVe and have compared the sources of both programs I suppose your "facts" must be logical. And people who say "VALVe isn't doing a good job" are usually average newbies trying to get attention. But it doesn't work, cause everyone and their brother is using the same strategy.



Good work VALVe, if this works out right it will be historical (on a small times scale). Keep it up.

Nope i have that problem to. My server is hosted from recongamers so i cant get access and eric confirmed this from ym email.



So sorry no u cant test it without having access to command line

Yes, you are right. These are more like video card hacks, rather than half-life hacks.
