make a poll like “allow fov changer? Yes. No.”
there will be only 3 guys who vote no: lwf, TurboTabs and longas

If you already used it, it doesn’t really matter now, they got logs, might as well keep using it :p

I didn’t use it though. I’m just going to go back to 75 and be the best of the best (in like div7 standards) without any fancy tricks.

I think the core of the problem here is that Valve doesn’t allow it directly, not that ppl here don’t want it to be used. I’d also vote no unless Valve would give their support to this because I don’t feel like pumping my fov is good enough reason to possibly get VAC’d.

it seems the only problem with this is the potential to wall hack by raising the fov high. if the fov cap could be raised to below whatever fov it takes to get that effect instead of being removed i’d use this.

About -insecure and VAC:

It does NOT disable VAC in ANY WAY. Here’s what happens if you prevent VAC from loading completely: You get kicked for ‘client timed out’ (although I think they changed the msg to something like ‘no connection to vac servers’ or something). All this plugin does is:
1. Remove -insecure from the startup params (edit: scrap that, the plugin doesn’t do this)
2. Flip a global boolean value indicating whether the client should be allowed to join VAC secured servers

Will VAC catch these methods to bypass the plugin check? No.
Can VAC in theory catch this specific plugin by dll signature? Yes.
Looking at this thread & the spuf thread, people generally WANT a higher fov cap. Based on this Valve can now make a proper decision and increase the cap (and fix aspect ratio related exploits from bypassing it).

I think the above needs clarifying a bit so people can make an informed decision before using this plugin.

The -insecure launch option puts you into insecure mode, which allows you to load unsigned plugins and is supposed to prevent you from joining VAC secure servers. This plugin disables that check, allowing you to join VAC servers while in insecure mode.

I personally won’t be touching this with a barge pole, I don’t see any difference between it and any other cheat tool and i’m not sure Valve will either.

seen as though Skyride is forum banned he asked me to post his view on this

so now all the shitters are going to increase their fovs to make them less blind? cool

Ooh look, I’m so pro I don’t need a higher fov cause using one makes you a div7 shitter and a total baddie.

admins should make it not possible to change fov during a game.
so if you try to wallhack with high fov, you cant change fov baack to aim/shoot properly
