I just saw this today on the Steam account:

Friday, March 25 2005

Next week we'll begin beta testing the new Valve Anti-Cheat system. For people playing multiplayer games, there will not be any visible difference while we're conducting the beta, but we will be logging cheating violations into our database to make sure it's ready for general release. This will be the last public notice before the system is released and active for everyone.

If you have any cheats for multiplayer games installed on your computer, now would be a good time to uninstall and stop using them. When a cheat infraction is detected, the offender will be permanently banned from playing on secure servers.

In lighter news, work is progressing on Lost Coast, that is the level we've built to showcase a new piece of rendering technology coming to Source called High Dynamic Range lighting, first mentioned here.

Looks like all the stupid punks that hack might have to try harder to be able to cheat. In recent weeks cheating has become so bad I had to become admin at my favorite CS: Source server so I could kick all the cheaters.

I highly recommend any of the CS servers over at http://www.gameagon.com for some great fun on a server with Admins.

I say bring on all the patches that will prevent the hacks. I hate little creeps that ruin a really nice game for the rest of us.

BTW I play withlocal LAN guys on their Reno, NV. Server. http://www.renolanslide.com

RenoLANSlide Server for CSS, DC and UT2004.

Stop by.
