maybe VAC

This is the easiest anticheat to crack.

!The easiest ACs to crack are Ricochet (let’s hope that Microsoft will replace this train wreck of AC with something standard like EAC) and VAC. !<

My post was talking about where I thought anti-cheat would need to end up in order to be effective without being invasive, not about the state of anti-cheat now. I gave VAC as an example of a cross-game platform for cheat detection, and thus where valve would most likely stick something like this.

But its detection rates are questionable at best. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Td_Ce1fiL0
