These days anyone can use a VPN to make another account and play through the ban. So I think a more reasonable approach would be to Hardware ban cheaters and hackers so that they would have to spend 100$'s of dollars if they want to go back to playing the game. It’s such an easy fix to the problem but might take a while to implement, although I trust the Russian devs as they can make anything happen lol. Also a better anticheat software would be appreciated.
How you know they use ip ban? Everybody knows thats useless.
What is better anti-cheat software than EAC?
I used to work on a hardware company years ago.
Changing the id’s of the hardware is a easy as it gets…
There are known scripts to temporary change ur hardware id’s befor launching an application also…we used to use them for temporary tests
ANYTHING. EAC is the worst and the cheapest on the market.
Would achieve nothing. Takes me 2 minutes to change my hardware ID. Hell, the company I work for provides me software for that even, I don’t even need to make my own.
why bother banning them at all just put them all in a server together with the shittiest bandwidth and the highest ping.
Everything!
I believe some games w/ competitive modes just auto-kick VPN users in combination with IP bans to effectively enforce bans.
HWID is definitely not end-all-be-all
So more expensive would be better?
OK - so what is more expensive?
Which is what?
hardware ban? pff, we should hire hitmen instead. : D
Easy anticheat is super cheap and super bad. Why dont YOU go look for better ones? Should be super fucking easy.
Literally anything else
EAC is absolute dogshit and easy to bypass
that would be more effective than any anticheat out there
I don’t go look for them because apparently y’all know what they are already … so why don’t you just tell us?
How about VAC? Battleye?
Also blocking people because they disagree with you is quite unsavory.
I don’t know anything about them except what I’ve just looked up - plenty of people seem to think they are crap too… no idea what the rest of your message is about.
VAC isnt anti-cheat, it promotes cheating.
All anti cheats are as efective as the constant updates into them.
They are all worth the same.
Played all types of. Games with all types of anticheats. The most efective one so far? Maybe moss on esl. But files and prints had to reviewd after each match. Even moss wasn’t too notch…
all anti-cheats iv run into could be bypassed generally easily last bypass i knew about used a method of duplicating, closing and relaunching the anti-cheats process as a dummy process that just sits in idle but makes the game detect the anti-cheat program as active and running
serverside anti-cheat is really the only reasonably difficult anti-cheat to bypass cause it requires learning how to write and inject packets which is a very easy way to get caught… its like bruteforcing someones password these days…
