VAC Bans Ramp Up

[shurcool]

I tried to keep it as short as possible, but I'm not very good at that. I could've made it a whole lot more elaborate though, so it's not that bad.

I've had false positives on my own machine before, and a short 3-day ban at one time, but that was due to memory consistency errors (crappy RAM) which they no longer ban for (kick only).



Anyway, a big thanks to VALVe for their awesome work against the cheaters. VALVe takes a lot of flak for a lot of things, so it's nice to see them finally getting some well-earned praise. :)

It's untrue about there being only 2 false positives in VAC's history. Those are the only 2 known and detectable false positives. I'm sure there were a couple more (not many, but a couple) that were indeed false, yet not determined to be so.

By this they mean two false positives that caught people that weren't cheating. I think one was HLAmp. A ton of people were caught using HLAmp(me included) and got a ban..but was lifted pretty quickly if i recall.



And Go Valve!!!! :)

Valve -- the Anti-Cheat.

Nick Shaffner's Reward On Hacks + People Giving In Undetected Hacks = VAC getting better.



On a side note, that VAC picture is going to become my new spray.

Hmm, well I got my account stolen... Go VAC!

To add to #33, another old problem was that if there was a bad memory module that corrupted data, VAC assumed a cheat and banned for that.

I believe it updates on map changes.

You do not need to restart a server.
