vac is inadequate and does need help. I run steambans which does help keep the cheaters out especially now they have merged with sharedbans. The problem with vac is that it's a stationary target. the code has been set and hasn't been updated. Streambans on the other hand is constantly being developed to improve it.
In short. if you are having problems with vac give it a bit of help and look at www.steambans.com Wayne wrote: > A question for fellow Admins. > > Where I am a volunteer server Admin we have 33 CSS servers which are very > well frequented and extremely active. > > We have a server watch program running that alerts us to the presence of > troublesome players, or players we know to have been caught cheating off our > servers. > > We run a strict policy of not banning people who did not cheat on our > servers; this policy will NOT be changing, so please no statements about > changing it, thanks. > > We also have a fairly robust reporting system for trouble/cheating/suspect > players, which often gets additions from servers we do not run, i.e. from > other ISPs etc, these are added to our server watch but NOT banned. > > What is currently troubling me is the overall effectiveness of VAC, several > players who were submitted to us for cheating, though our reporting system, > who were BLATANTLY cheating, but on another server, have NOT been picked up > by VAC. > > Even demos of the most blatant aimbot use have gone undetected by VAC, > months down the track, these players are not cheating on our servers at this > point in time, but where is the effectiveness of VAC? > > I'm left wondering if there is that much effectiveness in it, why we > continue to secure our servers, when even the most blatant cheating is > getting by. > > There is currently a wave of releases coming from the makers, multihacks > that boast almost all cheats possible, fully configurable and adjustable, > all boasting the fact they are yet to be detected by VAC. > > Even after the sites have been e-mailed directly to Alfred, to be forwarded > onto the proper department. > > Have VALVe moved on from CSS already, are we left with a game so riddled > with cheating it is pointless trying to stop them, when it only costs $20 > Aus to just grab another CDKEY, in the event VAC actually catches them? > > I am not anti-VAC, just anti being hung out to dry. > > Thoughts? > > D1 > > > > _______________________________________________ > To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please > visit: > http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds > > > _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
