OMG thank God, finally VAC is working??? The cheating was getting so bad. I kick and report people as much as I can but it felt like it never did anything.

Knowing this, I am not as upset about getting caught in the crossfire the other day. VAC flagged my game session after like 2 seconds and I had to reinstall completely.

I should go read some of these cheater forums and maybe talk a little shit. Little fuckers.

Not sure if this was intentional but your comment reads like classic Halo Elite death screams. I love it. Fits perfectly with imagining execs at denuvo seeing the success of VAC.

Close.

It costs $400,000 to hire me as a ghost writer...

... for 12 seconds.

This explains why I get killed so much… right? Right?

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 43 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yeah! Me too! It's all the cheaters, not my complete lack of coordination, speed, and skill.

It's the damn cheaters!

The problem is the arms race escalates forever - cheat developers will just regroup, analyse what the new VAC is doing, and start finding new exploits.

Not saying Valve should just give up; quite the opposite. The war never ends.

For me the anticheat can win. It's just less fighting on the grounds where the cheaters have advantage (their hardware they have full control of), and on the grounds where they can't control instead, by monitoring behaviour. chess.com is a winning example, no anti cheat software required, yet they can catch cheaters who use a different hardware for assistance (play on PC and lookup moves on phone).
