IIRC VAC is in two parts. One on your local machine and one on the server. Thats why I mentioned GameGuard.
If the cheats are crashing steam/css, it would appear to indicate there is an active process on your local machine when steam is booted(or even whilst steam is running) watching/checking what is running/being started and taking actions based on what it sees. I will say no more because I could be so wide of the mark it would be unfair and silly to go further(plus this is client side not server related). It might just be a lucky coincidence that cheats no longer load with the update :) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Graham Robinson Sent: 05 August 2005 10:18 To: hlds_linux@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Counter-Strike: Source update But if VAC / Steam has been updated to not let the GDC cheaters into CSS doesn't that mean that they haven't played on a secure server while it can be detected and they won't be banned? I thought the whole point of delayed bans were to not let the cheaters know that their cheats don't work? Please, correct me if I'm wrong. I don't mind a cheater on my server if I know he will never play again in a weeks time (as long as I can ban him myself).
