CS:GO now detects cheats in similar fashion to some SMAC modules
 

Apparently CS:GO (not sure about other VAC protected games) now detects no spread, no recoil, cvar bypass and some server crashing exploits and bans anyone detected almost instantly for 1 year with a "untrusted account" flag that works like a VAC ban (preventing anyone with it from joining secured servers).

Figured we could have a discussion about this here too even though this isn't directly releated to SMAC. Mods if this is too offtopic feel free to delete/move this thread and my apologies for posting this here.

nice, even tho i dont play it, but it's a good q: does this happen only on official servers?

Re: CS:GO now detects cheats in similar fashion to some SMAC modules
 

I think official servers only ...

Yep seems like atleast for now the detection only happens on official servers, the ban though is still global and affects community servers too just like a VAC ban. But atleast we have SMAC which is atleast as good :p Hopefully in the future we will see this detection expanded to community servers and other VAC protected games too.

No, the problem with this is that it's trivial for a server to get a client banned - which is why it has to be Valve-managed servers only.

I wonder if this could be enabled on a community server and then that server could manage its own bans.

That would be great.
