Comment on Why is anti-cheat always client-side?
JeffKerman1999@sopuli.xyz 7 months agoI remember a long time ago it was on the server side that the hits were registered not on the client side. It had a funny feeling because you would have to shoot where the target was going towards instead of shooting where the target was. And that was done with 24 players in a server

This is still the case for most games. Games have just gotten better lag compensation methods.

But if you overcompensate because of lag, the local machine will tell the server you missed all the shots…

I think you misunderstood me, I meant that most games will handle the bullet simulation on the server, but you no longer have to pre aim because of lag compensation.
