I'm curious about getting a VAC warning on Dying Light

[hotmatrixx]

as it's a Techland game, not a Valve one; I thought VAC was for valve games specifically.

I mean, its a game with modding support that also has co op multiplayer with account-wide bans for triggering anticheat when it doesn't expressly warn you before you play.

I'm part of a few modding communities; writing some of the most popular mods for games I play, and heaviily modding others (SP games, mostly QoL stuff or HUD removal for more immersion, etc)I'd HATE to come across some game that I play solo that has co-op and some hidden A/C accidentally that gets my 'rather extensive' Steam Account one of those horrifying little red stickers.

VAC is for every game that uses it, it's not limited to Valve games.

Dying Light does use VAC, but it can be turned off in the Options. Doing so locks you out of Multiplayer.

Every game on the Steam store, that uses VAC.

any dev can use any anti cheat, such as VAC, at any time. if you're worried a game is getting an anti cheat put in, that's probably a sign you should stop using mods.

historically some devs have elected not to indicate they're using VAC, and have left it off their store page. that list may not be 100% accurate.

and sidenote - there's no 'warning'. with VAC, trip the anti cheat = permanent ban.

yeah I'm aware of that except that the whole reason I dropped in is because I actually GOT a VAC warning - considering the fact that I was running a heavily modded game, I was panicking a bit.

I just got done with MHW which 'allows' mods in MP, so I didn't really even think about it as a potential issue in a SP/co-op game
