I remember when hackers got life banned or Ip banned instead of being told "No, you can't do that!

And as a long-time roblox player, cheaters have always been around, but they're mostly harmless from what I've seen. Back in Arcane Adventures I remember it was a common thing to spot the health bar of a flyhacker outlined against the skybox way off in the distance, the most activity you'd see out of them was them just zipping across the map to a new spot to hover. Though there was that one time that *supposedly* a cheater catastrophically tore apart the entire map of a server Definitely met a few directly hostile cheaters before tho.

I remember back in the og mw days, cheating WAS rare and often times when you joined a modded lobby the cheater maxed out everyones rank.

If you aren't gonna do anything about the cheating at least give the community what they want... No more sbmm 🙏🏻

Honestly, the problem is that Western developers don't do much to stop cheaters. If you play games made by asian developers, they will likely have good anti-cheat measures because it's a lot more culturally frowned upon for them. *(Even as far as illegal to cheat in video games in some places)*

I got permanently banned the day of release without having played in a single lobby for "modifying game files" after I opened the game, let the shaders install, closed the game to allow GeForce Experience to optimize my graphics settings, and then open it the next day only to see a permaban on my ENTIRE account. Allegedly they were banning people with RGB software in the background, but I hadn't hacked or modified online games when it wasn't allowed for my entire gaming career, why would I start now? But then there's these people blatantly cheating and can do whatever they want but can still continue to play.

I "cheated" back in og MW2 days with modded lobbies, doing all kinds of crazy things but back then, everyone in the lobby was infected so everyone could fly with full auto noob tubes and stuff lol. The best you got out of it was XP to unlock stuff which you could use in matchmaking. If you had an infection going and tried to hop over to matchmaking, you'd make it 2 or 3 games and not only would you be banned off cod multiplayer, you'd probably lose your XBL account too... In short, cheating and "cheating" both have always existed, but Activision or whoever else over the years have just decided anti cheating measures are not important, despite cheating becoming more discreet and more prevalent.

I modded World at War back in the day, I would max rank people and mod zombie lobbies for people to enjoy. It was always funny getting a few kids in the lobby that would freak out about the mod and you could tell it just made their day. Good times.

Now on mw2 I spectate ppl cheating and having unreleased skins. I'm not bothered by the skins they're cool tbh. But ppl cheating is annoying. Let's not forget it's toxic report system, which getting uinto shadow banned lobbies is even worse.

It had a small problem for a few months but that got handled QUICK

theres actually tons of roblox cheating videos, most ive seen are the cheaters exploiting in bad condo and stuff games which is good but yea roblox is actually probably one of the earliest places where people made content out of cheating. probably because of its ease and mass. at this point i would consider cheating a new genre/type of content which attracts people which is why people make these types of videos i think.

RIP The Cycle Frontier a game that was really fun to play and had good potential only to get killed off because of cheaters

Once the people who got called weird or picked on at school! Started to play games get paid off KZread it was all down hill sweats where somone in the video game world! So cheater was made! Because they wanted to fit in or be like the skill sweats on other games

I played Dying Light recently, and since the co-op lobbies usually ended up in huge lag, me being kicked immediately, foreign languages, or people not knowing that the down arrow above the objective marker means "Go down to the elevator, back outside, then climb onto a roof to initiate a GRE cutscene, why are you climbing around wildly on The Tower's roof?" I decided to try out the Infected gamemode... and it's weird, I don't want to point fingers, but I feel like they all cheated in some way because I would be miles away from the enemy, they aren't ANYWHERE near me (Or else I would've seen them with survivor sense / had a quote from the protagonist like "Head on a swivel, it's nearby") Then I get caught and died immediately, but they only did it like once or twice and never again. The last one I tried had the hunter disconnect after a single catch, and the second-to-last one had a cheater who I ironically had a chance about, since even when they used the "no cooldown acid spit" to surround a hive, I just used a shotgun to take it out from a distance, tossing flares down to create safe zones for myself, etc. Eventually he just let me win, and I had a fair bit of fun even though the UV flashlight stopped working after a bit.

Also, just for post-comment context. The way that the hunters work is this. The humans play the campaign as per usual, enabling multiplayer and a special setting that enables the "Be the Zombie" gamemode. The hunters play the "Be the Zombie" gamemode, and use the matchmaking screen to "invade" other players' games. The humans goal is to parkour across the map, watching out for the hunters (Using UV flashlight to stun, attacking manually to get some breathing room for a bit) and make it to a hive, where you start smacking it with a melee weapon and destroy it, before moving onto the next. The hunters have a superjump, grappling hook, and an execution if they aren't hit with a player's UV.

NGL, from what I've seen, the terrorist in a gun store allegory is pretty much exactly how it goes anyway. So in that sense, the game is working as intended.

Call of duty AI chat bans are hitting people who complain or get mad about cheaters. Got 3 day comms ban for complaining in a upset way in a team of friends. Plus pre muted ever lobby to friends only. But yeah the guy was flying around the map in the last circle doesn't get a ban. Makes sense. There is no cheating if there is no one that can complain about it I guess

From people who are much more clever than I am: Network protocols are part of the battle. Devs need to design them so only the server has the authority to update player positions. Fly hacks happen when the player has the authority to update player positions and report them to the server instead. Anticheat is the other part. I've seen bypasses through hardware drivers that video games need in order to be playable in the first place.

The sad thing is you can pre-order those hacks already for mw3. Companies make much money from hackers since they'll keep buying the game. One way to stop them is to arrest the hackers and those who provide them, but that will open up a whole mess of things.

Optimus bless us with more down bad videos. I want to hear more puking.

Yeah rocket league and cod made me hate multiplayer games. Overwatch as well. After losing interest in new games. I started investing in retro.

PUBG Mobile Indian version (BGMI) is having a massive problem with cheaters... Once you touch Crown 1 or Ace, You'll find one in nearly every match. always only getting Headshots or even using semi hacks like xray vision to find your position... it's really really bad here

Ironically cheating became a massive problem when crossplay was introduced.

​@@megaman37456 Most cheats arent ran natively on the console. They take in video feed and run off a laptop, and then feed back to the console using a usb hub. You could cheat this way back in the 360 days. It was never impossible to cheat on console. It just wasnt mainstream. All crossplay did was feed into the ever growing market of gaming, and made it easier to see. Once you saw how the pc players were doing it, you could figure out how the console players were. In order to fight it on console, they are going to have to completely lock the system down, and not allow anything other than proprietary hardware.

I honestly don't understand people being wedded to a franchise. As long as yall keep buying those games with the same problems, the same drop in quality and the same predatory monetization, they'll keep doing nothing. It's not about reddit or "muh favorite franchise is better than yours", it's about sending a message in the only format that companies understand, money.

There was one time I was playing a 2 person tycoon with my friend in Roblox literally the most uncompetitive type of game to exist on Roblox, with that probably ever, and there was a guy who was hacking. He was flying around and killing people and just making the game completely unfun and all we really could do was leave the game. Cheating and hacking has genuinely become so bad to the point you can’t play a casual uncompetitive game with your friends.

that's why Battlebit is doing well. I've seen a list of about 100 people getting banned in one game and permanently banned too. Recently, I haven't seen any banning in game.

Cheating has become commonplace due to the rise in financial gains for simply playing a game good as well as the overly toxic levels of competitiveness thats taken multiplayer games by storm.

Anti-Cheat has gotten to the point where people are going to be banned almost all of the time. So people who do it now just grab all the cheats possible and run them all. If they're going to be banned anyway might as well go all out. I'm a pretty avid destiny 2 player, and a few years ago this same issue happened. There was a streamer who regularly streamed cheats on his account flying around the map, ruining pvp games etc. He even pinged bungie on twitter with a link to his stream. The issue isn't necessarily detecting the cheats anymore or being able to prove if they're cheat or not. They just try to overwhelm the system with the maximum amounts of cheats they can get by with without getting detected. Anti-cheat systems can only go so far. Even Riots vangaurd anti-cheat (the one that runs in ring 0) cant always detect cheating. Cheaters just care so little about getting caught right now it doesn't matter any more.

I stopped playing pvp shooters years ago because of this and I doubt i’m the only one in the same boat.

You certainly aren't, I've gotten to the point where if I do play it a game it will be specifically a single player game even if PvP is not a central part of it. It's equally as annoying for me to play some MMO and see a clearly bot character with 6 duplicates all doing the exact same thing with one character changed in their serial-code-looking-name.

I can only play them with friends now, i all but refuse to play them alone because of cheaters. at least with friends we can devolve to just clowning around and not care too much, and even then it does get to us at some point.

I remember when a hacker joined my World at war Zombies game. All gave us superjump/low gracity and a ray gun... fun times

2023 gaming: Singleplayer games > casual coop games > competitive pvp multiplayer games

Online gaming with ransoms has been dead to me for years, cheating being the biggest reason I stopped. Looks like it’s only gotten worse. It’s sad

Apex has a huge cheating problem. Even in public lobbies where I'm maybe gold at best and there's still cheaters running around

I don’t understand how I have the possibility of getting banned for saying slurs and cussing, yet people can cheat and face no repercussions

There's like 20 accounts streaming the same games on loop, they basically try to get kids to buy the cheats and or install malware.

People do bad things when punishment is too light.

Maybe the devs in charge of ensuring anti-cheats works are skimping and instead making hacks. They would probably make a lot more if they did something like that. It could go all the way to the top, too. CEO’s having devs sign an NDA, make hacks and reap the rewards.

Valorant cheaters are just as common but the riot mind plague has people pretending it isn't

Love all ur content opti ur awesome

These companies need to put in the terms and conditions that if you are caught hacking you will be sued that should get rid of cheaters and make a profit
