Ah. The ARMA method of dealing with cheaters and pirates by turning them into a random animal that can't use guns.

I approve as long as it's not broken like it was in ARMA and triggers even if you're not cheating with a legit copy of the game.

Now this is the kinda AC I can get behind, not that BS kernel level shit

I liked the whole "send cheaters to their own server shard with other cheaters" approach that showed up a while back

The dark souls 2 pvp tournaments held on the cheat servers were fun to watch.

I like this, but let me frog them first

It's a funny response but it also makes me sad that this game is already being infested with cheaters.

That's sorta a given for games in alpha. It would be weird to code an extreme anti cheat when you don't have any of the gameplay systems even set in stone and tons of things can still change. A basic one works fine for now.

There is no functional anti cheat system. Its an inherently unsolveable problem as long as there are private computers that are not under full company/state surveillance. This is what consoles try to be but those suck ass.

There's no inexpensive functional anticheat system ftfy

[–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Explain. Throwing money at an unfixable problem doesnt magically make it fixable. Any conceivable piece of anticheat software or hardware can be circumvented as long as it is running clientside.

Even if you fully controlled the computer running the game, there are already external cheat system that use the video output to give you aimlock by taking control over the input devices.

[–] Kuvwert@lemm.ee 1 points 2 hours ago

You don't run it clientside

[–] Riven@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 21 hours ago

Fair enough.

What did the frogs do to deserve this? 🐸

[–] Peruvian_Skies@sh.itjust.works 6 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

First the water turned them gay, now this. Frogs can't catch a break.
