CoH1 ladder right now is lame, full of unpunished hackers... CoH 2 will be better than CoH1 in the anti-cheat systems in the long term? How?

I believe the word you're looking for is Measures :p

Anyways, partly through steams own VAC. Otherwise, i imagine they are making concerted efforts to deal with hackers. But are obviously not saying much about it to avoid giving the other side any information they could use.

Yea, right now CoH1 is pretty bad to play on, even on some 3v3 I found people using maphacks... I'd risk to say that at least a 20% of the player use maphack, it's sad.

For all we know you won't have to view them because perhaps there will be something that will randomly read your memory for "maphacks" ect just like Blizzard has for D3.

This discussion is pointless atm because we simply don't know however if it's going to be anything like the anti-cheat in MW3 which I believe to be run by steam... well it's just bad.

But like I said, discussion is pointless until the games released.

I'll use Counter Strike as an example with how VAC (Valve Anti-Cheat) works. What the admins/managers/moderators do is they take note when a new hack gets distributed around the community, like a wall hack or an auto headshot hack. Then, when it's been given time to work its way to all the people who are going to use it, VAC pulls the rug out from under them and bans everybody who has used or is using the hack. They don't tell the community who got banned for what reason or what hack they discovered so that no one can figure out what was the program that got them in trouble. Then they just ban anyone else who is discovered to use the hack.

any hack prevention/detection measure is better than no hack prevention/detection :-P

they don't "wait" to get more cheaters... they actually have to update their software to actually detect the hacks :-P

The less we know about, the less the hackers know about how it operates= more effective. Thats why on GR the fairplay forum never publicly showed old reports...the less the cheaters know about their methods, the more likely they will be caught.

security through obscurity has and always will be inferior to secure by design. though it might take the hackers longer to actually find a way to hack.

01 Apr 2025, 02:36 AM
Willy Pete: @Rosbone Ahh I missed that memo. I still think its a bad decision though. Adds frustration for players and isnt gonna make them that much money
27 Mar 2025, 15:46 PM
Rosbone: It is also good they left it free until after the free to play weekend. Points for that.
27 Mar 2025, 09:34 AM
Rosbone: But I agree, the cost to get a full decent Coh game pushing $115 US is not the best idea. Especially when it needs so much more work for casuals.
27 Mar 2025, 09:32 AM
Rosbone: To be fair, it was a thank you to early fans right? They said it was not free for long and it would become a pay DLC at some point.
27 Mar 2025, 09:30 AM
Willy Pete: Re-releasing free DLC so they can charge new players money for it. Brilliant marketing strategy :clap:
