MR_SLINhooky it just bothers me that CEVO doesn't guarantee us a LAN, and that's why i'm saying it's not worth the risk. TF2 doesn't die right away, but it does die the slow painful death of top teams leaving the game sooner than if there was a LAN to keep them there.
Again, stop making that argument without proof. Why would the game die if 10-12 people leave without a LAN. With 90% of people still playing

There is a huge difference between an anti-cheat program skimming through local files on your computer with permission to copy, edit, and upload, than doing what a proper anti-cheat does which is check to see if there is unauthorized code hooking into your game (simplified). We don't fully know what the ESEA drivers have installed on our computers. All computers running the ESEA driver could be on a botnet for all we know.
Regardless, when you install Steam you have acknowledged that Steam needs to install files on your computer because...well thats what a content distributor does. However, when ESEA secretly reserves the right to edit local files on your computer without clearly informing the user (through means other than the EULA), then that is very poor business practice to say the very least.
Finally, I don't know who wrote your code but that looks nothing like a anti-cheat program. Is that real or did you write that?
(And this doesn't even begin to address the fact that ESEA's admins knowingly mined bitcoins on their customer's computers)
I did a little googling and arrived at a thread that I remember seeing earlier today, and it was a place that Papasmurf had linked to.

seeing as how you sound more knowledgeable in the area than me... what's the difference between how ESEA and VAC work, besides VAC being seemingly more tame when it comes to searching for files, but how could we ever know for sure!?(hurbotnet:p) In my post I didn't mention anything about memory because it wasn't relevant to the point I was trying to make.
edit: i didn't mean for all of this to sound a tad sarcastic, the first part below the link was fully serious, as it was in my original post. i'm more than happy for somebody to explain to me why I was wrong so I don't look dumb in the future.
I'm pretty sure that Papa has said nothing other than that link. I don't think he will respond.

It's so bad, it's good. Nah, just kidding, I like to make fun of myself.
TF2 growth after the first 3-5 years, or any older game, comes directly from the community that supports it. It never comes from any league in an older game. Things like the mentor program, newbies mixes, pug groups, even forums, are the things that bring new people. Leagues bring in very few people since those that know of the game, or comp games in generally, are already in the know.
What I mean by that is having a LAN doesn't seem to being in people into the game as much as, for example, newbie mixes. How many recruitment threads have people seen in here and UGC explaining that it's their first time in comp TF2 coming directly from Newbie mixes.

blah blah you have reasons to be upset with esea. The client isnt a reason. The bitcoins isnt a reason.
please find me a single person in this community, besides myself, who was actually mined.
broken anticheat clients
1 invite team dead in csgo
1 main team dead in csgo
3-4 im teams dead in csgo
that was the last ban wave. Client works. Most of these bans probs come from the kernel level detection.
Just wanted to make you knew that you're in a Team Fortress 2 forum and not CS-GO

Ok, I didn't have any idea, which is why I asked the question if it happens often. I don't really watch video games, so I was curious to know. I was wrong, no biggie.
I never said that I have any idea. I only said that I don't think they did much to stop it. I would think that other games would have the same problems, does it happen as often as TF2?
GeknaiirAnd if you don't believe whatever clock just said. Just take a look at prior open finals. Although it's just open, players were constantly getting ddossed and having issues with their computers.
Imagine this on higher levels where it would be more advertised and have more trolls getting ready to ddos players they dislike. (It wouldn't be a pleasant experience)
And ESEA really did nothing about that, even though it's illegal to DDOS.
PlatinumFzeroLet me ask this about top level tf2 play and those people that goes to LANs, if it's honestly that important to you, are you willing to completely pay for the trip completely out of your own pocket?
I'm just wondering where the line is? Is going to LAN so important to not ask for a single donation?
Thats what we have done for the past 4 seasons.
I actually thought to myself if I would have to explain, other than two teams that will get their money back, but I assumed that would be a given.

Well, there is a lot more NA people here than EU
I don't think it's ordering online but a printable coupon.
You forgot to add, gave you a STD from the last time she/he cheated but didn't tell you until your pissing started to burn.
