Can X-Spectate be modified or hacked in order to turn it into a cheat that uses X-Spectate's reputation to hide from VAC?

Not easily. While any client-side software can, of course, be hacked in order to change its behaviour, this has certain implications in terms of X-Spectate. Most methods of modifying X-Spectate would change its appearance to VAC. VAC scans programs in order to obtain certain signatures that can be compared to a list of known cheats. If you modify X-Spectate's code in order to cheat then you are not really any safer, in terms of avoiding VAC-detection, than you would be if you used a regular cheat. This is because in order to modify X-Spectate you would have to either edit the files on disk (which is one of the main things VAC scans) or run a separate program in order to modify X-Spectate in memory. Both of these methods of modification can be distinguished from legitimate use of X-Spectate by VAC, if Valve wished to do so.

Furthermore, X-Spectate itself contains some basic protection to prevent itself from being altered, though this is not flawless. In general, it is far easier to create a VAC-undetected cheat from scratch than to modify X-Spectate to become a cheat.



X-Spectate doesn't work for me. Is there a way to fix it?

X-Spectate requires Windows 2000 or Windows XP minimum. It will not work on Windows 95, 98 or ME. If you meet the minimum requirements, then you may have run into the "memory corruption" bug described above. Unfortunately, there is no fix for this at the present time.

In addition to this, X-Spectate will not load if you are using any other OpenGL wrappers. Usually, you can solve this by renaming or moving any opengl32.dll you find in your game folder (do not remove the opengl32.dll from your Windows system folder, as this is needed for the normal operation of your computer).



Does X-Spectate work with Windows XP Service Pack 2?

I don't have SP2 installed myself, but after a little trial and error and thanks to the efforts of a couple of testers, I am quite confident that versions of X-Spectate from 1.0 upwards will work properly with SP2. If you are running an AMD 64 machine, you may not be able to use X-Spectate with SP2 because of the limitations in executing code from certain areas of memory.



Why aren't all mods supported by X-Spectate?

The main reason that X-Spectate only supports a very limited set of mods is that I personally haven't tested and verified that X-Spectate's methods of checking that you're a spectator are effective in other mods. Also, some mods use radically different code to the main SDK and mods such as TFC and CS and this would prevent some of X-Spectate's features from working.



Who created X-Spectate and how can I contact them?

X-Spectate was created from scratch by Niall FitzGibbon. The author can be contacted via email at billdoor@gmail.com.
