yeah, what u need for proof, it just gives message "Quake 2 dont response" error and closes the game :p Anyway, everybody are forced to record and send their demos to demoadmins so who even cares about anticheat?

I have the newest aprq2 and I've also tried the newest r1q2, but still AC crashes my quake when I try to connect to an AC server. Someone said updating/downgrading graphics card drivers could help, but honestly I don't care anymore. I see AC causing more harm than good.

Imagine you find this outdated crappy looking game from the internet and decide to give it a go anyway, cause it's fairly small and free. Just to find out it crashes when you're trying to join a server. Would you start googling for a possible solution, and if you somehow happen to find it, would you actually bother updating or downgrading your graphics card drivers? I wouldn't.

Sure AC will stop some from cheating and make it harder for others. However there are already ways that do pretty much the same. I've heard from multiple sources that it is fairly easy to cheat with AC, and the experienced cheaters will do just that. The dumb ones who don't know how to do it will eventually get caught by the old-fashioned ways like demos and screenshots anyway. So the advantage AC brings is definetly not worth sacrificing possible future players in this already shrinking scene.

Ah, again one of those "...I heard..." Since you are so close to sources saying that, lets arrange a "meeting" where we can see. Simple LIVE prove is enough. Noone delivered it yet, but if its true noone will force anyone to use AC. Simple...

Also I am wondering since Q2 scene is much bigger and every tournament they have is AC forced, looking at their page for help noone has such problems as in aq2. Everyone use it no whine. Now look at aq2, a guy tries it and it crashes deletes .dll and says AC sucks not even trying too look what causes crash of client. Shall i say there is crash report crated with information of what caused crash. Feedback to developer is the key.
