everytime i see publishers attempting to ban cheaters....

Regards,

This.

A good dev/publisher devises systems that keep them out the door entirely, unless the hackers are REALLY good at it. Everyone else is lying to you. Thus far the only one I deem truly capable of that is Blizzard, although Valve also had its moments.

90% of the time i wonder if it was hacks now with the deathcam I get a hacker kill me every other game. Usually they are named 2349283749 or something along those lines. I recorded one last week that was shooting people with a vss through a wall he would kill one rotate slightly kill another and so on and in the process killed me and I was a long way from him and inside a concrete bunker and of course it was a headshot.


Ive seen a video where players were sniped out of the air (headshot) moments after they just parachuted out of the plane by a handgun

It was quite funny to see actually. This one guy from some where just slaughtering people squads at a time with a pistol within seconds of a jump. Obviously it shouldn't be happening but it is

There are six figure numbers of cheaters and people pay for this crap?

Most cheaters play TPP, so stick to FPP and EU server and you're good to go. I've only seen a handful of questionable plays in over 300 hours, so for me the game has been an enjoyable experience for less than €30.

So glad they're being diligent about cheaters! Reported one yesterday. Watched the kill cam. He was shooting with no line of site, but getting easy kills with a Shot Gun.

Although I do not see many cheaters, at least not as many as I used to. They're there. Guys with very tiny penises, with no girlfriend - it's their only way to get off !

Still love the game though! Best Game ever!

That is a clever bot then if it knows how to handle a higher latency, distance and all that stuff.

I've just bin playing this game and i learn by everyday. The best gun is'nt good as either. Close ranges a shotgun defenitly pumps everyone to pieces, but on long ranges it's useless. And you cant always find a scope that's 'perfect' for whatever occasion.
The way the game and server is setup, the game just assumes what client reports as true. So if client says he hit you then you take the damage. Lag doesn't matter as you think about it if they can shoot you through walls and mountain's.

whats happening in china is internet cafes are bulk-buying game licences and slapping them onto PC's with hacks already installed, and then 'renting' them out to gamers

you get 20 people to pay to use the PC and cheat away before the ban hits you, and you've made one hell of a profit

Theres also the fact the game is pretty easy to hack considering you can literally use shit like cheat engine for augmented HP etc.

Or make bullets not hurt or continously miss, aimbots etc etc.

This.

A good dev/publisher devises systems that keep them out the door entirely, unless the hackers are REALLY good at it. Everyone else is lying to you. Thus far the only one I deem truly capable of that is Blizzard, although Valve also had its moments.

I remember a friend in a lan party long ago playing CS 1.5 and he was spamming the ground texture just messing around, I noticed he kept on killing our other buds, till i shot his head in the ground, he said ahhhh, just got baltar'd (labrat)

The problem is all current anti cheat systems are reactive rather than proactive. Mostly because the possible backlash of false positives via proactive would be a nightmare as such the problem will not ever go away.

I liked the approach that Titanfall took against cheaters, just pit them against each other.

They're also just dumb and completely ineffective. You know EAC? It doesn't do ANYTHING, but it blocks legitimate users from playing, b/c it won't load with unsigned drivers. The devs believe that stops cheaters lol. I've explained to them that I can bypass driver signing in a minute and still play the game. Their response? "No, you can't". This is how dumb game devs are.

I think a better term would be ignorant. Game devs are smart people intellectually, but they can be some of the more ignorant people where it comes to applied practicalities. And let's face it, it's not really the devs themselves that are making these choices, it's the exec's and publishers making those kinds of bonehead, nitwit moves. DRM doesn't work!

played pubg last night, hiding behind a rock and two snipers were firing nonstop hitting this rock right in front of my face, despite 100% not being visible.

assumed cheaters, much rage.

Watched the replay, and the effing rock doesnt render about 75% the distance to them - so they saw this guy shuffling around feckin bulletproof, and probably assumed i was the cheater

Sounds like the game should still be in the QA phase :laugh:.

While not cheating, exploiting game glitches is almost as bad, especially if you don't know about it and become a hapless victim. In single player and even LAN play it's a non-issue, but in online play? Forget it..
