When attempting to use insecure mode on a TF2 client to join a non-VAC-secured server, the client successfully joins, but is later disconnected with the message
An issue with your computer is blocking the VAC system. You cannot play on secure servers.
The server reports
STEAMAUTH: Client received failure code 5
Operation of the VAC system should not be required when VAC is disabled for the client or server (or in this case, both). If the client is intentionally disallowed from joining the server because of failed Steam auth and not due to a bogus VAC failure, the error message should be adjusted to reflect this.
