Seeing as all of the player locations are stored on the server anyway, altering them would have no effect on the client (apart from being in a different place obviously...) I have used SigScanning MULTIPLE times and its never been a problem.
Just because someone 'seems' to not be like the cheating type, if you wern't there, you don't know... (This is the internet after all...) >From the SteamWorks site it said that VAC uses a list of known cheats, so either you (possibly inadvertently) got one of these on your computer, or there was hash collision (which is extremely unlikely). If it does turn out to be a problem with VAC, then I wouldn't get all hot under the collar about it.. im sure valve will sort it, and un-ban anyone that did get banned. 2008/11/5 Keeper <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > I would definitely get in touch with Alfred to let him know what's going > on.
