#DISCLAIMER: Before reading this post, please put yourself into a calm state of mind (or as calm as you can be) and promise to wait for an official imc response before taking the pitchforks out…
#Update (4/14/2016) didn’t get a response on this forum but I happened to be browsing the store page and lo and behold:
#So I’m glad that’s resolved… still curious that we still have so many bots though…
So with all the reports of bots running around, I got to thinking: “Why is the Valve VAC so ineffective and how is it letting so many bots run rampant in this game? It seems to be doing a good job in numerous other games…”
So like any good Prinny, I opted to do a bit more digging…
As stated in a previous post by the staff in a different context:
This post seems to unambiguously denote (at least to me!) that imc would be using VAC (at least as of 20 days ago) for iToS.
However when I was browsing through the Valve website on VAC, I saw this:
Curious, I realized that I didn’t recall seeing this symbol in the imc iToS store page tags:
For context, here is the panel of tags for CS GO:
Additionally, using steam search with “VAC enabled” games does not return tree of savior.
See: HERE
Querying Valve Anti-Cheat enabled games works just fine though: HERE
So at this point, I just have to wonder what the heck is going on???
Is this just a miscommunication where Valve forgot to apply that particular attribute to the iToS store page?
What anti-cheat/bot detection are we actually using?
If it’s VAC, shouldn’t we be contacting Valve for more detailed help regarding botting issues?
A brisk and thorough response would be very much appreciated.
EDIT: It’s been 4+ days. You’d think a simple, “Oh, it’s just a labeling mistake” would be an easy response to type out… Is anyone else quite annoyed that they paid money to play a game where cheating and bot detection may not have even been turned on?
