honestly part of me wishes that people would actually get unbanned after like 10 years lol a cheate

honestly part of me wishes that people would actually get unbanned after like 10 years lol
a cheater will just make a new account and move on, a person who hasn't cheated in a vac game and still actively uses steam has probably earned their lesson

KKyle Gospo Support will never rescind one unless it was a false positive

Pez•6/8/24, 1:26 AM

and they usually already know about this when it happens because VAC is based on definitions

dman-os•6/8/24, 1:27 AM

Hey, what are the chances that I'd get the same shasum after downloading a bazzite image twice but it differs from the hash on the website?

Pez•6/8/24, 1:27 AM

Valve aren't stupid and they do know whether you ran a known public cheat or just did some very inconsistent engine behaviour

Hhalva honestly part of me wishes that people would actually get unbanned after like 10...

Tray•6/8/24, 1:27 AM

yea bans like this hurt more innocent people than they do cheaters

Tray•6/8/24, 1:28 AM

reading ab this dude who got banned cuz cs2 thought he was cheating for using msi after burner and rivatuner

Pez•6/8/24, 1:28 AM

Pez•6/8/24, 1:28 AM

yeah

Crono•6/8/24, 1:28 AM

Well, innocent people can create new accounts as well

Crono•6/8/24, 1:28 AM

At least

Pez•6/8/24, 1:29 AM

msi afterburner and rivatuner are basically like opening a radioactive source next to any anticheat

Pez•6/8/24, 1:29 AM

not surprised

CCrono Well, innocent people can create new accounts as well

Tray•6/8/24, 1:29 AM

innocent people usually invest on only one account, of which isnt recoverable after being perma banned

Pez•6/8/24, 1:29 AM

afterburner is typically fine because most people only use it for fan curves

PPez msi afterburner and rivatuner are basically like opening a radioactive source ne...

Tray•6/8/24, 1:29 AM

they also said that an anticheat said his secureboot was disabled when it wasnt so im sure that also affected it

Pez•6/8/24, 1:29 AM

Pez•6/8/24, 1:29 AM

that doesn't mean a lot

Crono•6/8/24, 1:29 AM

I'm just glad VAC isn't a rootkit

Pez•6/8/24, 1:29 AM

not for the actual ban

CCrono I'm just glad VAC isn't a rootkit

Pez•6/8/24, 1:30 AM

redditors think everything is a god damn rootkit though

Tray•6/8/24, 1:30 AM

vanguard

Pez•6/8/24, 1:30 AM

i'm sick of hearing kids spread FUD about battleye and EAC specifically

Pez•6/8/24, 1:30 AM

like jesus

halvaOP•6/8/24, 1:30 AM

i just realized that a vac ban is a more permanent stain on a record than bankruptcy lol

Crono•6/8/24, 1:30 AM

If Valve can figure this out surely it'll put pressure on other companies

Pez•6/8/24, 1:30 AM

they're the two dumbest ACs known to mankind, get real

PPez redditors think everything is a god damn rootkit though

Kyle Gospo•6/8/24, 1:30 AM

To be honest though no part of a video game needs kernel level access to my machine

Kyle Gospo•6/8/24, 1:30 AM

Developers need to get their shit off my computer and start doing this server side like they should have done in the first place

Crono•6/8/24, 1:30 AM

Pez•6/8/24, 1:31 AM

right we can all agree that's part of why windows isn't on the table

Tray•6/8/24, 1:31 AM

also the whole point of kernal level access to see any anticheats, is completely negated by a second computer

Pez•6/8/24, 1:31 AM

but u see people just taking that narrative and running with it for stuff like EAC that is literally an impotent process warden

Crono•6/8/24, 1:31 AM

Video games have no business overseeing what I have running

Crono•6/8/24, 1:32 AM

It's at least a privacy angle

Pez•6/8/24, 1:32 AM

you don't have to worry while you're not on windows

Crono•6/8/24, 1:32 AM

Thankfully

Crono•6/8/24, 1:32 AM

It would be amusing to see how Linus would react to Epic reaching out for kernel-level anti-cheat

Tray•6/8/24, 1:32 AM

windows copilot be like

PPez i'm sick of hearing kids spread FUD about battleye and EAC specifically

halvaOP•6/8/24, 1:32 AM

the funny bungie game doesn't allow people on linux to play because of cheating concerns, and every new season trials of osiris turns back closer to the same clown show it was on release (that was "protected" with their own anticheat, that'd also not allow linux users in)

KKyle Gospo Developers need to get their shit off my computer and start doing this server si...

Pez•6/8/24, 1:33 AM

also i've been screaming this from the rooftops for years at this point. anticheats are a waste of time if your game is so architecturally broken that cheaters can fucking noclip.

halvaOP•6/8/24, 1:33 AM

like idk how to actually take battleye seriously

Crono•6/8/24, 1:33 AM

League of Legends doesn't run on Linux anymore due to Vanguard

Tray•6/8/24, 1:33 AM

isnt eac also one of the worst in actually catching cheaters or am i thinking of something else

CCrono League of Legends doesn't run on Linux anymore due to Vanguard

Tray•6/8/24, 1:33 AM

yea

CCrono League of Legends doesn't run on Linux anymore due to Vanguard

Crono•6/8/24, 1:33 AM

Linux feature
