VAC secured gaming.

It's not perfect, but it's alot better than Punkbuster.

This thread is intended to guage the interest in the community in seeing an alternative to punkbuster used. I know there are alot of people who can't play PB games due to the "packet loss" problem, and I know there are people like me who never have problems. I want to play with my friends and some of them have trouble with PB that evenblanance are unable to resolve.

Valve anti-cheat seems like a better option.

Except they confirmed Punkbuster. That's ***supposed*** to be an anti-cheat system although it doesn't work to well. Regardless of how it works, it's what they're using along with 24/7 admins.

Bad idea.

I'd rather have no anti-cheat system than have punkbuster. Punkbuster RUINS games, it doesn't help them.

SEE: BC2, All-Points Bulletin, etc.

PunkBuster? Sounds familiar. Oh yeah, that's that process I terminate every time I start up my computer, except on select occasions.
Edit: On topic: VAC would be a good alternative. I've never had any problems with it.

First off they need to have enough GM's in game. In WoW you can go down to Uldman and just watch bot after bot fly by and hit all the mining and herb nodes, its so blatantly obvious and the fact that nobody does anything about it is disgusting. Second if they have enough GM's, they need to have proper tools that Flag players as questionable, by looking at K/D ratio, Average shot distance, accuracy, etc. Finally the GM's need to have the teeth to do something about these cheaters when they are caught. This will be by far better than PB, and hope they can implement something like it.

Just to add something, this game can only be as exploit-free as the community wants it to be. ( As well as hacker free ) Everyone needs to do their part to make sure rule breakers are dealt with accordingly. They can only monitor so much at one point in time.

Anyone remember the Hulk Pounder? Best PS1 cheat ever, was like trying to kill a super villain.

Trafalgar · 2012-06-19, 11:48 PM

I'd much rather have VAC than Punkbuster. Punkbuster is known to cause system instability and crashes, and I have pretty much not allowed it on my computer at all for that reason. (Plus that it likes to run all the time)

Game disconnected: you were kicked by PunkBuster. Stated reason: PunkBuster kicked player 'redacted' (for 2 minutes) ... Violation (IGNORING QUERIES) #9006

Sound familiar?
Try to have fun when you get that all the time and it has absolutely NOTHING to do with cheating.

The Kush · 2012-06-20, 01:48 AM

They never said there wouldn't be anti cheat systems. Actually they said the opposite.

There will be several anti cheat systems including 24/7 live server mods.

Please don't make up random bull s*** that is annoying as h***.

Actually they said they have their own systems in place and it will be backed up by a 24/7 team with additional tools to track down and proactively deal with cheaters.
