Vac And Ns

Puissance

<div class="IPBDescription">Not a good idea...</div> In my opinion, I don't think that the VAC system should be implemented into NS.
First, the VAC system is not 100% bug free and has problems to be fixed.
Secondly, there are people like me who were banned until 2008 for not cheating at all (false bans).
Lastly, Cheating-Death is good enough.

I think that the VAC system needs to be fixed and is 100% operational. To elaborate, it should only be implemented when all false bans are eliminated and no new false bans will occur. False bans occur from addons to mods and/or hardware specifications. And sadly, i'm one of the victims. I think that Cheating-Death is good enough to protect servers from cheaters. I have it installed and it works perfectly with Natural Selection. If VAC is implemented, false ban victims will not be able to play at all. All the victims can say goodbye to NS, CS, and DOD. And I don't want to go out to buy another copy of Half-Life, when I have already bought one. It's a waste and is unjust.

Ok, i'm done talking about that.
I was just practicing my writing skills since it's summer time and I might get rusty. And it's something that should be considered, too. I've been told that unbanning is possible, so I'll see what I can do. Anyone else a victim?

Thank you for reading this. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

Don't have cheats on your computer and you shouldn't be banned. Or any other type of of program that hooks onto the dll and changes stuff.

VAC has before hit on HLamp, HLirc, HLIT, and some other personal stat scripts/plugins for clients. It isnt just cheats that VAC will hit on sometimes.

Though I personally have never had a VAC hit, I have seen enough of it happen to know that it does give false positives and I don't trust it. Never had a problem with C-D until lately the updates seem to do more harm to servers than good.

no cheats.
if you check out the forums at counter-hack.net and you will see around 8 pages of false bans...
so far, they don't know what is causing it, so VAC is constantly being updated trying to fix the problem

Well, it's a server-side option, isn't it? Of course, I'm sure 99% of the server ops out there would use it, even if it's buggy, because it's a no-work-required anti-cheat software that would be built into the game.
