I imagine the purpose of the VAC system is to stop cheats that give an
unfair advantage. Idling in a server, be it by minimised official client
or third-party client is no different. It's still idling. Not to mention
the fact that even if VALVe wanted to design the system to block/ban
No, that's not my logic, that's some flawed bullshit you made up.

Maybe someone could make a sourcemod plugin that bans people for standing
still. They could have been idling.

If you want to track this rumor, its from one person stating they couldn't
connect to the vac servers a few nights ago (which happened to us all), and
then one person here:

Technically you are cheating. The program is using the Steam API to
say you're in game when you're not. Sounds like cheating to me :)

I would have thought it unlikely that you will get vac banned. However, if
valve decide to strip items for using this program, it is no different to
just running a server and sitting idle in it. Would they strip items for
anyone playing on an achievement-idle server? or would they strip items for

there is a difference. one you are actually running tf2. another your

It mimic's idling in a server without actually launching tf2. in a command
line type interface. it connects to a master (fake) server which has 10,000
slots. this server can only be connected by the idling client program.

I am neutral to the matter, I am merely curious to see where valve's stance
will be on this program if they take a stance at all.

You're not actually running a game. You're using a program to emulate the
game's function of connecting to a server. As far as I'm concerned that
seems like cheating to me. It's like

Its an interesting debate, although Valve did not Vac Ban the weapon
unlocker they just removed the weapons, so I am on the fence wether or not
they would Vac on this one. my gut says they wouldnt and the kid in that
post got picked off for another cheat, perhaps one they didnt know about.
I.E. a
In the end the only difference between idling in your app or idling in
TF2 is RAM, CPU and if not minimized, GPU used. It's no more cheating
than running TF2 in DX8 mode to get better performance.

Difference is you're not using the program that it was intended to be used
in. Thus cheating.
Why is it so hard to understand?

many people use that achievement unlocker in slow fashion and even quick

idle the only drawback of running tf2 minimized vs not at all is memory

It's not really any different than running TF2 in an idling server and
minimizing the window, I wouldn't say it's very honest but I wouldn't
really classify it as a cheat.
And VACs main purpose is protecting the game process, I don't think you
could get VAC banned from just manipulating the

business. ROAR BAN ALL THE IDLERS, ROAR BAN ALL THE FAKE IDLE SERVER CLIENTS
