Valve seems to have quietly rolled out a major upgrade to their Anti-Cheat system and it’s apparently wrecking havoc on cheat providers
-
Doesn't matter. I will not install a rootkit
No factual evidence provided.
-
Does anyone have proof that this is less/more effective than kernel level anti cheat?
Please provide factual evidence, not hearsay. That's % cheaters detected vs % cheaters not detected scaled by the overall player base.
There is evidence kernel level anti cheat can still be bypassed.

I agree he's better than most. But I'm still going to ask why anyone feels the need to own and maintain a fleet of yachts.
It's fucking capitalist brain rot. I will never trust anyone who chooses to live that way.
It's excessive, I'll give you that. I can't really argue with your point here.

Nobody can have proof of that, because no such proof can ever exist. How would you ever have a proven correct number of cheaters not detected?

I used to cheat in GunZ online, but to be fair, I was like 11, the game wasn't competitive, and leveling up for cooler gear and to unlock new maps was HARD work.
Eventually I'd git semi gud and stopped bothering with the cheats. But it was fun as hell flying through the map with no clip, as a ball of fire that killed everything except other cheaters with godmode lmao

There’s something to be said for skipping unreasonable grind. It’s not okay to mess with other players experience, but that other part I do get.

I’ve worked in esports for a bit and there’s definitely cheats out there that pros use. When utilised well you won’t even notice when directly spectating or when the player is streaming. They’re designed to help extremely good players just that little bit extra needed to become a top-tier player.
Those “pro-grade” cheats don’t come cheap though. I’ve heard figures in the 400-600/month range multiple times. These would also work on the special tournament clients used by professional players.
Some of the top end tarkov cheats I know of are around 900-1000 a month.
About the only game where the cheating is so rampant that even just though osmosis you can end up learning a lot about the cheat economy.

I knew it that last cs2 game I was playing had a cheater.. always losing every game I’ve played
-
Yeah exactly, at that age knowing how to download cheats and stuff actually made you feel sorta cool, not everyone could figure it out (and I know most kids wanted to).
Then realising it's more fun without the cheats, just getting good at the game, I'd even dare call it a story of personal development.
This is the modern internet tho. You used cheats once 20 years ago as a child. Thus your shit for the rest of your life have no right to parole and deserve to be thrown in a hole?!!1!!1!1! /S

I used to “cheat” in Mass Effect 3 CooP, using cheat engine to buy those weapon/character crates en masse.
Screw that grind. It was such a sublime MP game EA bolted the absolute stupidest loot box system to. Everyone in the platinum tiers did it; it didn’t hurt anyone’s experience. That game was so good everyone played for the sake of the game anyway, not the trickle of unlocks.
As a side “cheat”, I used to host modded public lobbies with crazy mixes of enemies, like all banshees one wave or “ranger” swarms of scions+ravagers another and such. A few players left, but the most common reaction was “holy shit, this is mad” and players stayed for the fun.
…I guess what I’m saying is, screw malicious cheaters.
But I also don’t like the idea of locking out modding either, or enforcing particularly asinine P2P schemes. I suppose the kind of MP games even conducive to modding don’t really exist anymore though

Please provide proof that games with kernel level anti cheat have the same rate of cheating as games without it.

Nobody can have proof of that, because no such proof can ever exist. How would you ever have a proven correct number of cheaters not detected?

So what's the point of an anti cheat then if you don't know how many people are cheating, how many people are not, and you don't have confidence that the anti cheat is 99% effective at the very least?

A game blocks cheats or it doesn't. Valorant certainly still has cheaters. Only cheat providers and gaming companies will have those numbers and I'm not sure they are going to release them.

wrote last edited by [email protected]Thanks for letting me know. So we don't have any proof at all that these anti cheats are effective? I'm not even saying which anti cheat. Just saying in general.

What do you mean definition of effective lmfao. An anti cheat should stop cheaters. If I go on counter strike and I find a cheater then that anti cheat is ineffective. If I go on valorant and don't find a cheater that is effective. It's not that complicated.

Then I'd argue there isn't an effective anti cheat. Valorant definitely has cheaters.

It can be tested in closed systems but it's not something you can easily define the success rate of because the cheats are constantly evolving and game updates close or introduce vulnerabilities.
There is still value of having an anti-cheat even if it does not have a high chance of catching cheaters, so long as it keeps false positives to a minimum.

I don’t generally have a problem with anti-cheat mechanisms except when they require things like secure-boot or allowing me to do what I want with my machine.
They're all proprietary, wouldn't want that crap on my system anyway. (I don't game anymore)
