Please Implement Steam VAC as soon as practicable...

The title says it all.

I've seen some posts here and there in which people have talked about peeking in what should be locked up tight DDS files.

This has to stop now.

Excellent idea!

Now that we have finally servers (I know of ATAG and REPKA, surely there are others which I do not know) that are capable to handle a lot of players (we were 55 last time in ATAG) it is time to ensure that the playing field stays level for all players.

~S~

PS. I have nothing against people peeking (and poking) things in their private time.
I just want when I meet a Spitfire online, to meet a Spitfire (and no F16).

I don't care if it's a G.50, I don't want to meet any hacked FMs online.

Sadly I think we are already past this point.

I'm reluctant to ascribe to cheating what can otherwise be ascribed to my own flying incompetence but listening on teamspeak it is clear that more experience players are convinced that this is happening.

I'd like to see some tracks.

+1 to VAC.

But it highlights the importances of releasing the SDK's so legitimate modders can create content without having to hack FM and make changes that could be called into question. Then (hopefully) the server administrators will be able allow or disable the mods.

Interesting topic.

+1 to VAC, as long as I can continue to use InjectFXAA or InjectSMAA. It really makes a huge difference...

Of course it's bad news *if true*. You would end up flying against vanilla and UFOs and everything in between.

It's apparently via Kegetys' extractor. I am not sure if this would be picked up by VAC. Sure hope so or online dogfighting will go downhill fast.

What exactly does VAC check ?

jimbop · #9 01-06-2012, 06:52 AM

Don't know is the short answer but I understand it checks file integrity (could be wrong or incomplete): http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_Anti-Cheat

The risk with enabling VAC is that non-cheaters would also get banned. Given the history of CoD development this would not be surprising and I think the devs are wise enough to realise this. I seem to remember Luthier saying something similar a few months ago, that VAC would not be enabled until the game was stable.

Lol.

Did I see someone asking for proof of cheaters to justify activating VAC?

Please!

On that note I bet it's not even been written or added by the Devs yet and until now no one has even mentioned it do don't expect that to jump up the to do list anytime soon..

It is needed and IMO should of been in from day1, it's there for a reason after all.

They wether it's Steam or the Devs need to get this sorted ASAP
