Thank 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
C'Just don't have servers lmfao' - Nintendo
A4 and 1 had PunkBuster, V had something else
Hhonestly worked out great for them xd
PAnti-cheat lead Paul Chamberlain walks us through the technical guts of Fog of War, VALORANT's anti-wallhack system.
Pyou still solve 99% of the issue here
Pby just not writing lazy code
PAI won't stop cheaters that know better than to look the part
Aoh wait 1 doesn't have PunkBuster according to areweanticheatyet
LAny competitive game community that lasts outside the normal window of yearly releases or live service games will alienate casuals just by its own virtues
KIt does, PunkBuster works on Linux
Ppunkbuster is a joke
CIf my experience playing Riot's games informs me well, there's no possibility that they have not written mounds of lazy code into the game
Ai know it does, i've played Battlefield 1 and 4 on my Deck just fine
Htf2 being labeled competitive is the funniest joke ive seen all week, thanks
Psure but this isn't one of the lazy parts
Pi don't play their games either but this is their one useful contribution to society
