Re: Cheating issues makes the game impossible to play at all

@Raklor_R I do mmo i only have around thousand players not a lot but they are content. I run a custom version of a game named Everquest as I was on their guide team for over 18 years and did exploit stuff with them during sony owning it testing things finding bugs and such. I dont need a Anti cheat because I can block the programs from allowing you to log in directly into the client. The coding structure and the engine its ran on are quite different but this is how i handle it. You allow them to log in with program running it then kicks you from logging in and sends me a log of trying to log in with the cheat programs loaded. If loaded while in game same thing it kicks you from game sends me a log reporting they tried to load it. Doing things directly into the client is a easier way then using a anti cheat that isnt working imo.

@E9ine_AC so you are not a developer and run only a modded version of Everquest as a admin/modder... did you developed the script or did you just add it to your client?

Just because you run a Gameserver, for a Game what is 17 years old, what has a modder community, doesn't make you a Game Developer/IT Security Analysts. IF it would be so easy to block cheaters nowerdays like you said, why is it still such a problem for Anti Cheat Companies?

@E9ine_AC actually they‘ve been tried so hard to against new cheats ,
I don't know if they've changed the anti cheating team they're working with， or something , The effect of anti cheating is much better than before ,
There are still a large number of people who buy cheating software, and there are money benefits in the process of promoting the improvement of cheating programs
what we need to do is tell them he new features of the new cheating program we found in the game .Let them know the latest cheating function and better detect cheaters

Yeah i lost a Game to DDOS cheater, the whole server couldn't play (rubber band or DC) but this Team had no problems.
i made a video to prove it. (and before someone say "maybe you have a * internet", nope i also made a few speedtest's and there was no problem. Germany 16-20ms, Belgium 50-60ms).

@Raklor_R Nah, it's not your Wifi. I had the same exact thing happen last week. Our 3rd got disconnected and couldn't come back, I kept getting kicked, the other guy said he wasn't lagging when I had asked them. Everytime I reconnected, there was like 2-3 less teams. Eventually there were 3 teams left, and a full non-lagging team went directly to my team's building we were hiding in, since it turned into duos and I couldn't move without being kicked. This other team, knew EXACTLY where we were and I kept getting kicked until they were right outside our building.

So yeah. There's been roughly 2 other occasions where it was flat out rubberbanding, where other teams couldn't even move properly. Those games ended the same way, except one was before reconnect, so if you got kicked, the end.
