I have seen games been altered directly by someone,normally ruining popular places such as Vortex's forts on the serverside level. By any chance,with some major modification to the Roblox engine,it *could* be possible for Roblox to use the VAC,Valve Anti Cheat. For those of you who do now know,it is a software used to track and ban users for cheating in .exe formats. I know that VAC may not be optimized for Roblox,considering it and source games are completely different in character from the Roblox engine,but that Roblox could prevent these further exploits from being used. For example,I have a friend who uses the cheat engine as a speedhack even after they 'patched' it. Also,I have to go here,but I'll check my forum in the morning.

ROBLOX would have to pay cash ValVE for rights for it, cash ROBLOX just doesn't have and I think VAC is source-specific/steam-specific.

Hack sheilds are easy to hack, and there would be alot of glitches/bugs if they would put it in, unless you know C++ and create one for it.

Bad idea That just makes it worse.... Some hackers might just break the shield and strike the games Roblox wouldnt want to pay for nothing

Well,then again it would take a long time for a non-source engine game to be developed,and it would be costly anyways. But,my friend can still use the cheat engine thinking they patched it succesfully enough.

VAC isn't free. Neither are the other ones. (Is AhnLab, or HackShield?) -Virtualdarks

even if it did work that would mean there would be a console... that would actually INCREASE hackers

Tom No, there wouldn't be a console. Consoles exist in source games, not VAC itself.

The source engine is the only 'real' game that has compatibility for a console or command interface. Either way,VAC isnt extrmemely expensive and it's better than PunkBuster.Im just tired of all the hackers that hjack games.
