Hi, New to the list and I have no idea who Richard Welsh is, however I don't see '@valvesoftware.com' in the email address, so I don't believe Richard speak about what valve is working on.
What I can tell you is this, cheaters suck and I now have 4 in-game admins on my 'single' CS:S server. They spend a fair amount of their time dealing with cheaters and exploits. The last thing I really want to do is place my trust in some thrid-party Anti-Cheat BETA software that comes without source code, on my server. Who knows what backdoor could be in that software, or memory leak, or CPU usage hog, or any number of things that take time to work out why my server is now running crap. I was seriously thinking about stopping the server because of the lack of exploit checking that CS:S does, and replacing it with another PunkBuster supported game. The only thing that stopped me from doing this was the demand from the players (the servers is almost always full). I hope that VAC2 is going to be something wonderful and not something like the Windows Security Publicity Stunt / Joke - lots of hype and very little else. If valve does not have the time to release something very soon (like today :]), they should contact EvenBalance, at least they care about stopping game exploits - hell, thats ALL they do. -Tig _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
