[quote=EmilioEstevez][quote=mansfield7]To some extent any anti-cheat client has to be obscured in some way because seeing exactly what the client is doing makes it much more easy to circumvent whatever controls it has in place.[/quote]

Surely if it is trivial to circumvent their anti-cheating measures then they are not fit for purpose?[/quote]

That's a little bit of a misunderstanding of the problem. Anti cheat software is like welding the door of a car shut. Your average person just won't use the door, but someone with a welder will just open it up.

As long as people own their own computers they'll always be able to edit the memory manually to change the appearance or behavior of a game on the client side. The only (relatively) foolproof anti-cheating controls have to run on the server, but that only helps with certain kinds of cheating.

Also, it's not necessarily [b]trivial[/b] to circumvent anti-cheating software. It's just [b]possible[/b].

Very well written Lange. It was to the point and had a sincerity to it. I agree and I am impressed by this direct move. *respect*

great email Lange. I'm interested if Torbull will say anything in response but I kind of doubt it.
