Using Netlimiter while playing WoW or SC2 is still a banable offense and can result in a ban if reported to a GM. As such, it is possible that Warden will one day scan outside of WoW/SC2's address realm and punish for using a bandwidth throttler.

I think it incredibly unlikely that any company will issue a ban (not just a kick) for using bandwidth managers. They sure as heck can't ever detect mine, because it's hardware! (Draytek router). And Netlimiter is popular, so a lot of people would be affected if they banned that.

What they CAN check for and ban (in theory!) is specific patterns of lag... For example very low latency and zero packet loss whenever you shoot or cast a spell at someone, but high latency and packet loss at most other times. This indicates that you've bound a key to a bandwidth manager script and are using it to gain an advantage. But this would require a very sophisticated algorithm and a few minutes careful monitoring of the suspect (at least), so I do not think we'll see it any time soon.

Bandwidth bans are not going to happen.

Anyone banning for any sort of bandwidth limiting is going to quickly loose most of it's customers.

Who hasn't been playing a game when someone else on the network was using so much of the bandwidth that you lagged out, seriously eventually everyone except those with a dedicated large bandwidth and windows updates and all other updates set to manual will be banned. Hell you could get banned for downloading a steam game while playing if that was true.

You will not get permanently banned for lagging in any game, end of story. Kicked sure, even a temp ban for consistent lagging maybe, but never ever a permanent ban because of bandwidth. If that ever happened there would be a massive thread here about it and believe me if there was one, I would have it linked to this post and be demanding that such foolish bans be removed or made temperary (eg. a couple hours each time).

Can you add a space between ) and "only"? The link is broken.

I've been using various builds of FXAA, SMAA and ENBSeries in TF2 since time I made that post. I'm still not VAC banned.

Does the "XBOX 360 Controller emulator that replaces xinput1_3.dll in L4D2" refers to TocaEDIT's xBox360ce emulator?

I'd say yes, but I don't really know.

The question is vpk vs txt, if vpk is ok the text is fine.

Valve say core game file dll and exe files can't be changed. I haven't heard banned for modifed vpk.

I would suggest it's probably ok as there would be no signature risk, just are vpks core files... as you can make them I would say no.

There for I would believe it is safe, if not it should be and I would point support at my statment here and that fact that vpk files can be made by users so you assumed they are safe.

Yes i does, this is used to replace VAC in servers without VAC and used by banned players and players with a stolen version of the game.

Installing this program and the joining a VAC secure server will result in a VAC ban.
