VAC: No Wallhacks

[CSN NewsBot]

Disk2 has informed us that VALVe's "occlusion fix" is now being tested with BETA VALVe Anti-Cheat modules. This new method of blocking all wallhacks was previewed here on CS-Nation back in late July. We recommend you grab the new BETA server binaries before getting the new test VAC module. You'll find instructions for getting the VAC module below, after clicking through!



This is, of course, a server-side only update.[break="how to get the beta VAC module"]

We've updated the beta security modules. These beta security modules will be testing the OpenGL-hack prevention methods we've been experimenting with.



1) This beta test is only for Counter-Strike servers...not Day of Defeat.



2) The password for the beta security modules is still "vactest", so make sure you have...



-testmodule vactest



...in your command line and restart your server. If you're already running with the beta security module password in your command line, your server should update itself.



3) We haven't heard of any problems with the beta server we've released. If you haven't already downloaded/installed it, you should consider doing so. The beta version should fix the problems some servers have been experiencing when we update the security modules.

Let me know if you have any problems with the beta security modules and we'll look into them right away.



Thanks.

Pay attention to CS-Nation for word of when to stop using the test module.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Indeed. Just as a small note, if you were running a Linux server and it is still causing people to hang, just restart it and it should be fixed. Erik Johnson said there was a small problem with Linux servers and the new VAC beta. It should now be fixed.



Great work VALVe!

[ErKnowledge]

I am indeed impressed. GG valve

Fucking ya! Hopefully they'll release the non-BETA ones SOON.



If only you could filter servers to find the ones with the beta versions.

I was in a server about a month ago who had a wallhack. He told me he did over his mic and then proceeded to show me. Glad people like that are gone.

PLEASE dear VALVe (God), let this be true....

Well lets hope this works. I would still like to see people banned for two-weeks if detected.

Wow, never thought I'd see a day where there was zero wallhacking in counter-strike. Feels nice.

Not there yet. These are only beta modules. Or something.

But soon...soon

Don't forget about sound hacks...
