[summer詐騙]

Hi guys, I found this on Armaholic (http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=21179) and I google it to see if I can get Vac'ed with it, but I could not find the awnser, so guys, Can I get a VAC BAN using this FOV Changer?

Thank you !

Sorry for my bad english

First, Arma doesn't use VAC at all to my knowledge. They use a seperate anti cheat called Battle Eye. Second, I cannot imagine you would. People mess with the cfg file all the time for all sorts of reasons and that appears to be the only thing that it changes.

And with all the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ thirdperson peeking, I doubt they would ever bother implementing some restriction to changing FOV into Battleeye for Arma

I'm not checking the link but if it only modifies CFG files you're fine.

When you get a BE ban you get a VAC ban aswell, to prevent you from refunding the game.

This is no longer the case. You will now recieve a VAC ban against your Steam account WRT ArmA III if you are given a Global ban by BattlEye.

This was explained in SITREP #00171[dev.arma3.com]:

LOGISTICS

Recently, we have partly introduced the Valve Anti-Cheat (Game Ban) system to Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead and Arma 3. Our partners at BattlEye have connected their anti-cheat program to its Steam counterpart. It essentially means only one thing. Players who receive a ban via BattlEye will now also be banned via VAC and will not be able to ask for a refund of the game. If you don't cheat, VAC will in no way interfere with your experience, VAC is only used to flag Steam accounts for hacking, it is still completely up to BattlEye to prevent hackers from joining protected servers. This measure is aimed strictly against hackers who would purchase the game, try out their hacks, get banned by BattlEye and ask for a refund via Steam only to continue on a new Steam account minutes later. With VAC, such an exploit of the system will not be possible. Unlike BattlEye, which is global to all our games, the Valve Anti-Cheat ban is always game-specific; players will be able to play other games on Steam. In case a BattlEye ban is lifted, the VAC one is lifted as well. More about the Valve Anti-Cheat can be read on their FAQ page.
