You heard it right folks! VAC has been updated, rumour has it, and a MASSIVE VAC ban wave of any LMAObox users from atleast January 2015 has been banned! https://www.reddit.com/r/tf2/comments/4h1w3p/lmaobox_premium_detected/ [video=youtube;xr06EQ3F_6E]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xr06EQ3F_6E[/video] This is basically the LMAObox forums right now. Spoiler Archonet - One of the more imfamous LMAObox hackers has also recieved a VAC. http://steamcommunity.com/id/Archonet. Aswell as this guy, who i think basically everyone knows in some way. http://steamcommunity.com/id/sparklzisback This is awesome news for the TF2 department, from now on its mostly going to be private hacks or some really unknown ones. Happy gaming, fellas.
Bunch of UGC top-tier(?) players banned: Lmaobox Premium Detected List of banned people: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1dfcMHrF3dGByk-UV8CEDhhhDVBhb3Uo2QC7kWU6ciEs/edit#gid=0 Lol.
This is hilarious. I also dont know why someone would use it and only be in an Iron competitive team.
Yeah the wave only affected people who were using it on the day and after the source code was sent to the devs. I haven't used that shit since my last day here, so yeah.
This is a good day! And now there is also a link to contact the "VAC team" Valve is dong something good lately. I'm totally sure the big hype for overwatch it does not have anything to do with it.
It seems to be going after historic hackers as well. Screenshot by Lightshot We shall see. Overwatch seems to be kicking volvo into gear. I wonder how effective its going to be.
Seems like they changed their inventory handling too, to be like CS:GO's. Before when you get VAC'd, your entire inventory gets deleted (except from stuff you have bought). Now it seems like you get permanently trade banned for that game.
To be honest, I don't think this will last very long. There are rumors that the development of the hack will continue. And even if not, there is already a new one wich is almost ready and much more promising than LMAObox. Also when reading through the comments on their forums a lot of players said they'll create an alt and continue hacking. Creeating an account doesn't take long, even without using certain tools that will create one for you in <5 min.
I'm happy cause this one sniper who basically made me decide not to play plat got VAC'd. While this is good, it kind of promotes the hacking community, there will be another hack soon enough, basically nothing has changed.
