100% this. VAC remains one of the more effective anti-cheats out there while retaining relatively few privileges on the client machines.
A gaming youtuber, 3kliksphilip, made a 10-minute rundown of the state of VAC and where it may be going from here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DHMAwAeRMA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DHMAwAeRMA. I'm unaffiliated with the channel.
The video front-loads some information that many readers here will already be familiar with (along the lines of "what's a kernel and who decided to put so many rings on it") but overall it's a nice light watch.
- mrguyorama 2y agoVAC is laughable. The state of cheating in CounterStrike has always been one of the worst games in the industry. VAC doesn't even stop blatant spin botters. This is especially bad because in CounterStrike, a "game" is a one hour commitment with the same group of people, and most people near the higher levels of rankings report getting a match with a cheater in about 1/10 matches or more. It's so bad, there are MULTIPLE third party companies whose entire product is "we install a rootkit style anticheat software so you can actually play counterstrike" like Faceit. Counterstrike official servers are unplayable because of cheating. I mean, christ, Warowl literally had a video last week about how it's impossible to play the new counterstrike because of cheating! Philip should definitely be aware of that situation. Holding it up as some sort of pillar of achievement is absurd.
