  Not even purely just a CS/Valve issue, which is the worst part. Anything that runs BattlEye struggles with rampant unpunished cheating, and yet they successfully ban anyone running legit systems, or software that has nothing to do with the game. Somehow it’s only getting worse, because a bunch of new games are introducing Ring0 anticheats, that have access to way too much information, but still fail to do what they’re designed to

    they were designed to create chinese botnet, and they will

    «anti-cheat» is the same as «anti-terror» — a gift-paper wrapper

  It’s of course easier to ban something that modifies game files without hiding it, than it is to ban something that tries its very best to hide its very existence.

  Well, Valorant has significantly less cheaters and they get banned much more often… But then people go nuts over “iNvASiVe AntIcHeAt”.

  You can’t have both. Either complain about anticheat and live with cheaters, or run anticheat and enjoy multiplayer.

        It’s over-the-top because people get banned from games with these heavy handed anticheat programs for merely having certain programs on their PCs like Reshade, CheatEngine, Autohotkey, etc. Having those doesn’t mean you’re cheating in the current game you’re playing, but you can still get banned by some games just for them being installed and that’s bullshit. I use Reshade in damn near every game I play and not for any advantage, just to make the game look better, I use CheatEngine sometimes in offline games just for fun but never in online games, and Autohotkey has millions of uses that have nothing to do with cheating but it’s automatically assumed that it’s being used to cheat if it’s running in the background.

    Not sure why people are downvoting you. I’ve been in about 2 games and have seen people straight up get banned mid-match. It terminated the match immediately.

    On top of that, I’ve never seen obvious cheaters in Valorant. Go play Counter-Strike for long enough and you’ll find spin bots.

    Is rootkit anti-cheat sketchy? Absolutely. Does it work really fucking well? Absolutely.

      I think he’s being downvoted purely because of “iNvASiVe AntIcHeAt” being capitalised like that. It’s needlessly hostile.

      I think he’s right, or at least adding to the discussion, people just don’t like the tone.
