Re: [hlds] Status of VAC2 Beta
The "VAC2 Beta" refers to the servers enabling VAC2. The servers don't do the cheat detection, so that testing is completely independant, and I believe has been going on since march/april. Steve (aka Mudboy) The-Space.net Jonathan wrote: Apologies if I've somehow missed this in an earlier message from someone else (or Alfred, even), but the last I knew of VAC2, it was still in connectivity testing. This was several weeks, I believe, before the recent update that seems to have expanded the beta to 1.6. So, where exactly are we with the beta test? Still connectivity, or have we moved along to cheat detection testing?

I think, VAC2 will be ready as soon as somebody "hacks" Valve or it "gets leaked" to the cheat coders.

Re: [hlds] Status of VAC2 Beta
What you are describing is from servers running Mani Admin Plugin or BeetleFarts plugin. They added a rudimentary detection for the common HLH hack by sending the client cvar commands that are known to be used to execute the cheat. So when the cvar is successfull it knows that person has a cheat installed and then based on the setting it can ban them automatically. So its really nothing to worry about.

Re: [hlds] Status of VAC2 Beta
So would I, honestly, but after Alfred's comment from awhile back, I was just a bit confused since the wording of that March announcement is kind of contradictory to something I read on this list.

Well there was an email from Doug Lombardi a couple weeks ago saying release was 'Imminent'. I'de have to guess from that, that the connectivity issues are the last major item to sort out.
