Honeypots are not an easy solution either though unless you only really do it as a one off thing. And to be worth it you have to allow those cheaters to continue for some time before banning. You shouldn’t underestimate how adaptable cheats developers are.

Limiting information is easier said than done especially for circumstances that matters the most. And don’t forget people can still hear others through walls.

It’s a very hard thing to check for though especially with how complex the world can be in games today. Even if it was feasible you don’t know where a client will be in a few frames so you basically need to do a “what players can be seen from this general location” check. The higher movement speed the bigger of a volume is your possible viewpoint.

This is also ignoring all the things you need replicated even when you can’t see the player such as footsteps or them shooting or interacting with something.

Finally someone who seems to have some sense of how things actually work and if course they get down voted…

Sure I get why people don’t like kernel anti cheat but they should at least understand the difficulties from not having it.

Not 100% no. And any evaluation method you do will either allow more cheaters or catch very good players. Not to say this isn’t done because it totally is just that it’s very far from perfect.

Hell I’ve heard of cases where some really good streamers had to be an a special list of people to not kick/ban from this kind of detection because they’ve repeatedly been falsely detected. If you aren’t a streamer you will have a lot harder of a time to get unbanned though not just because you aren’t famous but also because it’s harder to prove your innocence.

Easy to say but if you use Unreal Engine it’s very hard to do that. Unreal doesn’t have a built in way to not replicate something not seen and the inbuilt networking is built on any action a player makes is tied to the player. So if you want to hear that player walking or shooting that player will exist on the client.

Aimbots and esp is client side only.

Hey now. At least he is one of the people who regret voting for him, some of the others didn’t even do that.

That is kinda survivour bias though. Almost all old stuff didn’t last either.

That’s only proof that it will never be enough to stop all cheating. But if the metric is if it reduces cheating then that proves nothing. Not saying I have proof that it does reduce cheating but I would personally bet on it reducing it somewhat at least.

It only works in so far that it makes making cheats harder to create and easier to detect. But it will never fully eliminate or catch all cheats.

One of the reasons developers do not want to give you server binaries is that it makes it easier to create cheats that isn’t just wall hacks.

Sure. But that doesn’t mean Secure Boot didn’t make it harder to create a cheat or limit what kind of cheat they could create this quickly. The cheat was a wall hack one and that is one of the hardest to stop AFAIK.

The thing is that kind of solution only works on that kind of scale. If they get a false positive and ban someone that player can still play on other servers. If the developer gets a false positive and bans someone the player is shit out of luck…

Some of it the hate probably amplified by cheaters and cheat makers. Though to be fair anyone can be annoyed at having to go into their BIOS and change settings…

Wait… You’re only supposed to get one? Do I return the others somehow? Is there any support email or phone I can contact?

But IIRC the ones that allow Linux is basically crippling the anti cheat on the system. Apex Legends used to allow Linux but then stopped when too many cheaters started playing on Linux because it was easier to cheat there.

I mean there is arguments against creating test for everything but that definitely isn’t a good one…

I would claim it’s only a step in the right direction for someone if they will actually start doing something social. It’s not enough that there is more opportunity to if you never actually do it…

Not everyones ideal life is to at all times be alone.

To me this highlights that many single men have problems with loneliness.
