Any competitive game community that lasts outside the normal window of yearly releases or live service games will alienate casuals just by its own virtues

Aamelia oh wait 1 doesn't have PunkBuster according to areweanticheatyet

Kyle Gospo•6/8/24, 1:44 AM

It does, PunkBuster works on Linux

Pez•6/8/24, 1:44 AM

punkbuster is a joke

PPez by just not writing lazy code

Crono•6/8/24, 1:44 AM

If 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

Pez•6/8/24, 1:44 AM

i don't play their games either but this is their one useful contribution to society

Crono•6/8/24, 1:45 AM

Doubt

PPez AI won't stop cheaters that know better than to look the part

waldo vision apparently will be able to detect its you even if youre on a different computer

Tray•6/8/24, 1:45 AM

idk a goddamn thing about it thats just a single sentence i read on reddit from over a year ago

amelia•6/8/24, 1:45 AM

Battlefield 1 is just FairFight

I remember watching a GDC talk about VAC one time and being really impressed, and then the reality of matters hit

Pez•6/8/24, 1:46 AM

you put more money into anticheat itself you just create more cheaters

amelia•6/8/24, 1:46 AM

BFV also used FairFight until the EA anticheat thing

Pez•6/8/24, 1:46 AM

the article i linked isn't for anticheat though it's a general networking solution

Pez•6/8/24, 1:46 AM

you can apply this to any video game without having to shaft your customers

Pez•6/8/24, 1:46 AM

and the benefit is wallhacks just got 10x worse

Pez•6/8/24, 1:47 AM

they are now awful to use and hard to justify the effort

Pez•6/8/24, 1:47 AM

so less people will go through the effort of doing so overall

amelia•6/8/24, 1:47 AM

Battlefield 4 also uses Qt for the interface

Tray•6/8/24, 1:47 AM

interesting take

Pez•6/8/24, 1:47 AM

that tracks tbh

amelia•6/8/24, 1:47 AM

so it must just be something with the modern Battlefields

Pez•6/8/24, 1:47 AM

Qt is everywhere if you look close

Tray•6/8/24, 1:48 AM

i both like and dislike the idea of sharing proof youre you

TTray interesting take

Tray•6/8/24, 1:48 AM

also the part where not everyone has that kind of money in the first place

Pez•6/8/24, 1:48 AM

i 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

Pez•6/8/24, 1:48 AM

the money is insane

Tray•6/8/24, 1:49 AM

ive never paid for a hack and i do not understand doing so if there are free ones that do what you need anyways

Crono•6/8/24, 1:49 AM

All in all, the main advantage of cheaters isn't that they have physical or kernel access, but the fact that they're not the developer - so they can think of things the developer couldn't and have never conceived.

In that sense, I think it should be seen as regular software security, something like CVEs, big bug bounties and things like that

Tray•6/8/24, 1:49 AM
