OK, so, VAC has never been bullet-proof. Nobody is bulletproof but VAC doesn't even seem to be peashooter proof.
I think maybe (if possible) that Facepunch need to look at an alternative anti-hack.
There must be better alternatives. Punkbuster used to be really solid. Is this even an option?
As it stands right now the hackers own Rust not Facepunch.
It saddens me that people need to hack and I could discuss until the end of time the reasons why they do but the ball in in the developer's court and its going to be a real test for them.

Lol it was never solid :v:

solid
like consitpation
VAC is, unfortunately a pathetically disgusting excuse of an Anti-Cheat tool.
Don't waste your time.
Talk to your server provider and try to get them to get SOMETHING - Anything. FairFight or Punkbuster

the only thing I agree with in this post is that the hackers do own rust and not facepunch..
lol, Punkbuster is a bag of shit that's detected [I]itself[/I]. Are we really going to have this conversation yet again?
I'll go make popcorn.

VAC is active, it doesn't ban immediately
Whenever a cheater is detected by VAC, that player is recorded as being a cheater, the system then waits several weeks before it bans that player
this is done so that coders are unable to determine exactly what triggered them to be banned, it makes it harder for them to make hacks that go unpunished, and consistently avoid setting VAC off
please, continue to uninform yourself though, i'm sure you're not the first

In the config options for VAC, it can be set to ban, kick and log. It's currently set to log due to issues like false positives and not fully working (Keep in mind there using UNITY and have to make all of this on there own) so it's not exactly "fully working". But just like any other game WoW, Tera Rising, ISS (WarZ) and so on do it in WAVES due to the same exact risk involved.
So basically what you're saying is true.
And while VAC logs the cheaters and waits a year to ban them, legit players suffer and server admins have to spend/waste their time banning them.
