Valve/HL2-source engine and VAC - ban
Posted: Mon May 07, 2007 11:48 am
Hi ,
I know it might not be the right topic but I couldn't find a better one to post it. Admin please move thread to better topic if available.
I have a question regarding all the games on Valves Source-engine running on servers that are secured with VAC.
It seems all the Source Engine games work pretty well in 3D-stereo, I only played Counterstrike-Source in 3D but I guess it is the same for all of these games.
The 3D effects look great, the only problem I had was to get the crosshair focused on the depth of the target to avoid seeing 2 crosshairs when focusing on the target.
With the Dragon 3D Stereo Utility provided here in the download section I was able to solve that problem and it works just fine now.
It creates a custom crosshair that focuses on the target, perfect! Good job on that! (works also great on Battlefield 2 )
My big question now is, is it possible that you will get banned for that on Valves Anti Cheat programm VAC?
Does anyone have any experience with that?
I know they don't ban you right away, it takes some time.
I just don't want to take the risk of having to buy all the games again.
Will it be considered a cheat? Because there are some guns in the game that normally don't feature a crosshair when not zoomed.
But with this program you will get a crosshair even then when you are not supposed to have one.
Also I guess the Dragon 3D Stereo Utility accesses the game data and modifies it, which is pretty much what some cheats would do.
Would be great if anyone has an answer on that that is based on knowledge
Thanks
