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
CDoubt
Twaldo vision apparently will be able to detect its you even if youre on a different computer
Tidk a goddamn thing about it thats just a single sentence i read on reddit from over a year ago
ABattlefield 1 is just FairFight
Hthe what now
Aand it apparently uses Qt for the interface what the fu
Tai anti cheat in development
T
KWeirdddd
Premember how i said it was all just a big marketing grift!
CI remember watching a GDC talk about VAC one time and being really impressed, and then the reality of matters hit
HI THOUGHT YOU WERE JOKING??
LIt sure ain't "cooperative"

Pyou put more money into anticheat itself you just create more cheaters
ABFV also used FairFight until the EA anticheat thing
Pthe article i linked isn't for anticheat though it's a general networking solution
Pyou can apply this to any video game without having to shaft your customers
Pand the benefit is wallhacks just got 10x worse
Pthey are now awful to use and hard to justify the effort
Pso less people will go through the effort of doing so overall
ABattlefield 4 also uses Qt for the interface
Tinteresting take
Pthat tracks tbh
Aso it must just be something with the modern Battlefields
PQt is everywhere if you look close
Ti both like and dislike the idea of sharing proof youre you
Hpaywalling sounds great until you realize that a lot of games are paywalled anyway lol
Talso the part where not everyone has that kind of money in the first place
Pi know a guy who easily made five figures repackaging a basic exploit and selling it for a one-time purchase of $30 to script kiddies
Pthe money is insane
Tive never paid for a hack and i do not understand doing so if there are free ones that do what you need anyways
