VAC Questions Answered

YEAH! Go Valve! Go VAC!



And to think.... this time four months ago, people were saying it would never work. Goes to show how half the community has to eat its own words. Then again... half this community 4 months ago said they would stop playing forever.....

Its not like they wouldent be able to play cs anymore, they just wouldent be able to do so in secure servers, so i think that on the 3rd time they should be baned from ALL secure servers FOREVER. I don't really think cheeters should get 3 chances, but i think that people who were falsely banned should have a chance before they get kicked off all the secure servers for life (or until they get a new HL).

You obviously didn't read what Erik said.

It used to test CS1.4 before it was released, for some signed-up peeps, with fast net connection. Now it's public @ www.steampowered.com. You can play CS1.5 and all VALVe HL mods with it, without a copy of HL or CS. It's only for broadband users cause it downloads many data at every connect.

vac>cheats



i hope they fix the thing from the steam beta where it takes about 2 years to connect to a server...

Another thing: what's with the NOwon @ secure servers(http://nowon.narod.ru)?

How will the cheaters reported to the global ban list without wonid?

[rizzuh]

You know who plays on nowon servers? CHEATERS. And cheaters like to play against regular players, not cheaters. Either way, no legit server will ever be without WON.net authorization.



Wow. So the server DOES run VAC, but it's designed for cheaters to play on. Totally illogical.



That site is down, by the way.



Look for another way to point out that VAC is failing, even though it is has been incredibly successful.

The site wasn't down when I clicked it 5 minutes ago. I still think its up....

Still haven't answered if the new HLGUARD style wallhack block is in or not, and if not, when will it be in?

We will be testing some of the features in the next

Half-Life/Counter-Strike release on Steam in the coming weeks.

Hmmm, does this mean 1.6 on steam? Will it be public? i thought 1.6 was being released with cs:cz.

Many people have expressed concern over us banning players using CD-Key changers. We will not be banning any users that have legitimate reasons for using multiple CD-Keys (family members sharing a key, multiple clients behind a NAT, etc.). We're aware of all of the legitimate reasons for having multiple CD-Keys from one client, and users in these situations will not be affected.

One question....

How can you tell the legit players from the cheaters?

Whoever kills you is cheating.

i think this the best move valve has made to ban those fuckers from every server on the net for 24 hours. I say ban em for a month then if they do it again, 6 months, and if they do it again, just delete that wonid from there server so its not reconised by won anymore. but thats just my opinion
