diablo 2 came out about 3 years ago... and i was laughing at the "no cheats possible"... maphack was out like 3 months into the game's release

LOL. Blizzard said they hired "expert hackers" to try to get into closed bnet.

However Flek0, Valve forced OGC to disable their "module detecter". So if Valve quickly release a new module now + starting the master-ban server, all OGC users = Banned. So happy fragging all OGC-users

They also said Diablo II realm play would be "Completely Unhackable."



In all actuality, it was hardly a challange, once the packet listing was figured out.



Laughable.

However, theres a hook - unhook feature re-added. You can unhook before connect and just hook the dll. While beta9 was auto-disabled with this new module, beta4 worked with this hooking method (and still works...) They will enable that detector again, when they make it a bit better, just disable when new module really can detect the hook.

you assholes are making me start thinking of old school d2 hacking...



lmao that was awsome fucking with packets, with so many damn dupes.

[mugwamp]

so many dupes that would fuck up your account later on you idiots are the reason battle.net wiped everyone's stashes a year and a half ago, i still havent recovered

[andyp]

Haha, Fleko (use letters...so you're not mistaken for a 12 year old) I know about the hook/unhook option, and it doesn't matter of course. The second OGC even try to hook the engine it will be detected, no matter if you hook in in-game or not. So as I said, play along and trust OGC. See ya on the ban-list

So basically andyp (by the way I was very surprised when I saw your name, because people actually call me that in real life, hence the name Andrew Pomeroy.. And in fact I often use the nick AndyP where Cyanide is already in use), I don't want to get technical, but you're saying that VAC can detect cheats at any time of gameplay, rather than just the connecting phase? Besides, it's good to know that cheats are getting waaay more technical now so perhaps the average cheater would be too lazy to go figure it out. Oh wait I forgot, cheaters have no lives! Arr I'm an idiot!

[T|2i|34L]

gg VALVe. Now get HL2/CS2 done. I am enjoying the idea of the ban list growing exponentially though....

[wckd]

VAC to the rescue.

I hope this now goes to show how VALVe is listening to the community and tries to find new ways to help.

i turned off HLguard on my server because VAC is kicking cheater ass.

[Darkwind212]

Can HLGuard be run aswell as VAC, or is it only one or the other?

[wtaag]

It can be run in conjunction. Unless they have changed the code since I last looked at it.

[ph33r.hell_raiser]

yes they can, although both HLGuard and VAC probably have very similar cheat detections.

Yes, they can be run together. Although, I really wouldn't bother with HLGuard, but that's just my opinion.
