What is UAC ?

UAC2 is a client side Anti-Cheat program, one that works across all games and provides the community with the power to find and shame cheaters in all multiplayer games, packaged in is the unparalleled security of players screenshots to ensure data remains as accurate as possible. UAC and UAC2 are FREEWARE for non-commercial use. You may say that selecting the name UAC (Universal Anti Cheat) was poor choice because of MS UAC (User Account Control) which is included in WinVista and Win7 , but the name was chosen at begining of year 2006 and there was no MS UAC at the time.

Put simply, UAC2 is only as good as you want to make it.

This is our second attempt at the Universal Anti-Cheat. You may or may not have known us from UAC4SWAT.
We have rebuilt the entire system from the ground up again, taking into account the lessons we learnt from UAC4SWAT.

We now feature better security, more reliability, faster performance, less in-game lag and best of all any multiplayer game can be protected.

On top of our major focus around security and ensuring screenshots are 100% accurate and real, we have developed a tool which allows you the responsible community member/league to develop definition files that will give you complete control of catching cheaters.
This feature gives you the power to say which cheats are not allowed and allows you the power to add new cheats to your definition file.

All this gives you the power to make UAC as good as you want to!

Yes UAC2 is a client-side Windows-only anti-cheat. It sends screenshots to their server regularly and is able to flag them if it detects a cheat locally. It's still in early stage of development. I think there are no holidays for anyone yet... until 4.2 ?

The idea is that if you don't have the screenshot client you can't play on the server (=you get kicked everytime you join without it). And if you get a hack that prevents the screenshotclient from working the admins can just ban ppl based on the fact that they don't have any screenshots uploaded.
