PTF2 community is looking like a bunch of fucking morons to me rn
Pthey have everything they need to avoid cheaters but they will shit on their game until it dies instead
Twell i mean, games come out worse and worse each year
Hvalve should pull the lever on official servers xd
Twith more and more budget on the photorealism and not the game
Pit's a lose/lose/lose
Hcommunity servers are actually the only sane part of the game at this point
CBut are the deadlines getting tighter or are the developers getting slower?
Pvalve doesn't WANT to stop supporting the game baseline like that
CChivalry 2 has this bizarre setup were you can host your own server - but only through a partner hosting company
CIt's progress I suppose
Ptheir own community is gonna make it happen
KThat's the same system EA had for bad company 2
Pbecause they keep trying to start a war with cheaters
KThank God the server software leaked or that game would actually be dead right now
Plots of games do that shit

Hi mean im kinda half joking but it's really just a zugzwang
Pit got re-implemented by nofate, not leaked as far as i was aware
Pthey might as well just cut their losses
Twhatever happened to the basically homeless ai anti cheat
Pyou mean the giant marketing grift
Hif they continue being on life support, new players will just look at the state they're in and leave
if they try fighting bot owners, it's going to help for 2 weeks before ultimately going back to as it were
if they actually do the funniest route, the game will alienate the entire casual audience and slowly rot

Pwell, it was a giant marketing grift
PAI isn't going to stop people cheating it's just going to train them to be smarter when they do it
Hmeet your match low-key doomed the game
CI think a lot of these issues might be due to the general game development paradigm, in the sense that security isn't seen as a constant development priority
Hin the most unexpected way possible
CWhen I believe it really should in competitive games
LCheaters kill games. Private servers are the only solution I've ever seen work longer than a couple of months
Pthe only real use for AI there is behavioral analysis and that will ALWAYS have a margin for error so it's automatically a no-go compared to traditional "not writing your games poorly to begin with" anticheats
CCheats are just security vulnerability exploits, are they not?
Pwe literally already had FairFight
Pnobody liked it
Premember?
KAI works and will be necessary to fight wall hacks and shit like that
KBut there is zero excuse for speed hacks being possible in 2024
KThe end lesson is you can't trust client hardware
P... just don't write wallhacks into your fuckin netcode
PAI isn't a solution for that
KYou still have to render a player sooner than the majority of their body is past a wall
KThere's no option otherwise
Tits not even out yet
Awasn't that "anticheat" in Battlefield V before it got replaced with that kernel level thing that explicitly doesn't work on linux
Hprivate servers kinda have the issue of slowly becoming more and more alienating to casual and new players
i mean, look at tf2's uncletopia, it's actually genuinely impossible to play there if you're not the kinda person to dominate an entire casual lobby 5 minutes into the match

Ttheres anybrain which uses ai
KPunkBuster
Apretty sure it wasn't PunkBuster in V
Hlike i like the idea of them, but they're also a double edged sword
