Is the game going to be using VAC or PB when it's released? I really hope it's not PB, it's been a pain in the *** since Battlefield 2.
Both, I think VAC is standard and PB is optional for server owners.

It'll use both, but PB will be an option to be on off or for each server I think.Is the game going to be using VAC or PB when it's released? I really hope it's not PB, it's been a pain in the *** since Battlefield 2.
LoL at people not wanting anticheat software... wonder why...
I wan't anti cheat software. I'm fine with VAC, but PB simply blows. I got so many problems with it , may it be steam overlay, ping, settings in battlefield 2. its simply bad and often triggers bans incorrectly.
I just hope the servers I join dont use punkfailure.
wren this speedhax has nothing to do with pb. Its a dev fix...
Hardly, it is supposed to be a quick fix. Be glad you don't have to wait 2 weeks for a patch that takes you two hours to dl and causes more problems.Had this happen to me too when another computer on my network started using the internet and I got a bit of warping on my end.
Pretty lazy speedhack detection.
look at them cheaters crying...

Short and sweet - if you're experiencing packetloss, you will be notified of "Speed hack detected" in the event that your position updates by more than anticipated (due to said packetloss). After a few seconds of this you'll trigger the new anti-speedhack code.
At the time this happened to me (very first game after the patch just now), I was experiencing around 20-30% packetloss for a period of a few minutes (wonderful ISP, but that's another story). This was enough to gain a session ban due to said speedhack detection.

This began to happen to me just last night and I don't hack or cheat, never have and have no interest to ever start.... there's simply no fun to it.
It only happened to me on one server and that specific server only had one player on it, which was probably the host of the server..... it is an issue, as I suspect the only reason why he was the only one on there was because the server was kicking everybody else off for the same reason it kicked me off, which was this packet loss thing.
Another glitch that happened to me yesterday a couple of times, which could be related, was sometimes I'd spawn and start to run halfway across the map, then the next thing I know, I'm right back in spawn again with all my running energy wasted from the time I was just running..... then I'd run off again to get back to the front with most of my energy wasted, and then I'd be plopped back into spawn again.... it drove me friggin nuts.
So we tuned the Speedhack detection to be pretty stringent. Server admins can loosen the thresholds up a bit if they are getting false positives. We never saw any false positives in our internal testing, but it looks like a few are starting to pop up. We might tweak the threshold up a bit for the next update.
