VAC sufferts from too infrequent updates and the need to re-download the vac module from the server on each mapchange (which leads to slow clients having to reconnect because the get a time out, very contraproductive).

cheers
(p.s. both do work with metamod and bots, even on linux)

/pps:
your server has no cd key, running a server s for free (apart the server and bandwith you donate to the valve software users (players))
and vac is enabled by deafault you are most probably using it allready
Onno, thats not true any more.
As you know, im part of the steampowered.com mod team, and i have access to the internal message moard there.

VAC has recently been updated roughly EVERY NIGHT, some updates meing minor and some being REALLY big detection routines.

Nick Shaffner from Valve has really been cracking down on hacks, so basically as SOON as a new hack is out its already being detected.

You can see by the amount of people on steampowered.com forums saying "I NVR CH34T BUT I GOT BANNED ! FARK U VALVE UNBAN ME OR I DDOS YOU ASS"

Seb

btw. just have a look at the hlds mailing list, and youll see how often VAC has been updated in the past 2 weeks.
