Pelos is so retarded omg really someone should kill him.

This steam is almost the same as the current APR but works much better.

Like you said, lots of games are using it, and if they will take some profesional programmers (not MGame's) to code it, it will be x223131 better then the APR

Steam is nothing like APR when it comes to memory usage etc.
It is prone to causing massive memory leaks and has done the same for years

There is one other problem with the idea. VAC is proprietary to Valve

Do a google search for Steam memory concerns

This may concern you a bit as well. It is taken from the STEAM privacy policy:

Why is there non-Steam information in my Steam cache files? Is Steam Spyware?

Some users have seen non-Steam related information (like names of private files on their computer) show up inside their Steam cache files, raising privacy concerns. This is actually a result of the way Windows handles files. The cache file gets created on the client using the Windows CreateFile() command. This command will create the file but not initialize it. Due to the large size of the file, the Steam client does not initialize the empty data blocks in it as this can take an appreciable amount of time. On NTFS machines, files created with this method happen to have the property of appearing empty (initialized to zero) but for FAT32 machines, it shows up as whatever old data was sitting on drive in the sectors that just got allocated for the cache. This data is never uploaded or even read by the Steam client. Eventually, as Steam downloads more data, the old data is overwritten.

Hmmm ok you won xD

[sleven07]

Pelos Pwned you

[xXDespicableXx]

none of you actually read that did you you just saw the wall of text and though cant be bothered. Read it properly, and google what you dont understand. Err in regard to memory leaks, im not having any problems... memory usage is idling at 4megs (less then USKO), and my cpu idle is ticking over at a massive 6%. i have run some tests on that on the set up monitoring the supposed issue for 48 hours and the levels are reporting as normal. I can however confirm that during updates on STEAM the memory usage is a catastrophy, however a simple restart solves that.

My test rig is only running 3gig of RAM, and a Phenom II 965 at stock clocks. i dont have any problems.

I've had a steam account for 8 years and play games regularly with it, it works fine.

I was talking about that privacy part, where we allow them to take info about us and give it to other companies

You can also opt out of that. <3 By law they need your permission to use your information so they have to give you the choice which they do. I can only report from my personal experience, and i havent had a bad one with STEAM yet.

good luck getting K2 to spend any money to get the license to use this

[MINO]

Didnt Punkbuster tell K2 to go fuck themselves?

I have little faith in this game's 'secure' future.

Isn't it Mgame that decides what anti-cheat to use? I can't remember for sure, but I thought Mgame developed APR.

I also don't think it would be a simple case of purchasing a license, but rather sharing the revenue with steam/valve. Which would be odd considering ko is free, I guess they would have to share their PUS revenue.
