Endlich packt Valve mit den guten Nachrichten aus. Diesmal geht es dabei um Valve-Anti-Cheat-Moduls, kurz VAC. Dieses Anti-Cheat-Tool, welches bald in Version 2 released wird, macht Schluss mit unfairen Cheats auf Servern. Hier die offzielle Mitteilung:
Friday, March 25 2005
Next week we´ll begin beta testing the new Valve Anti-Cheat system. For people playing multiplayer games, there will not be any visible difference while we´re conducting the beta, but we will be logging cheating violations into our database to make sure it´s ready for general release. This will be the last public notice before the system is released and active for everyone.
If you have any cheats for multiplayer games installed on your computer, now would be a good time to uninstall and stop using them. When a cheat infraction is detected, the offender will be permanently banned from playing on secure servers.
