After update
After the update, my polyhacks still work, even though everyone says they are patched...
can someone explain how this is?
Well.
This means that the hack was coded with a code that has not been altered by Volvo in the update or patched out.
VAC doesn't patch anything/edit anything in a game unless just being introduced to the game. So, your hack may now be detected, but is not yet patched out.
(My explanation, don't know which hack so I am generalising.)
