Valve seems to have quietly rolled out a major upgrade to their Anti-Cheat system and it’s apparently wrecking havoc on cheat providers (lemmy.ml)

I did not expect to see CS2 news on lemmy... I'm all here for it!

[–] Mwa@thelemmy.club 9 points 2 hours ago

Finally, VAC is a good anticheat, and that works without running deep into the kernel.

Will this apply for TF2 also?

I did finally win a match in CS2 after a long loss streak.. it was definitely because everyone else was always cheating... not because I'm shit...

Ig buying a game will give Valve + the dev/publisher Money (cause Valve Takes 30%)

That's what we call having hundred of untouched games in the steam library. Right?

Gabe needs another megayacht

According to quick google, he only has 4 ships in his fleet (with fifth being built right now), and 5 ships is a very small amount for any respectable admiral.

And they did it without installing root kits on our computers.

[–] Mwa@thelemmy.club 4 points 2 hours ago

Exactly

Ha! Get fucked, losers. Cheaters ruin the fun for everyone, so I hope every last one gets permabanned.

Hypothesis: people who cheat in video games are scum bags in other aspects of life. I wonder if anyone's done a study on that. I feel like the kind of person who has to cheat in video games is a broken sad sack.

It depends if you're only talking about multi-player or including solo too. I see no harm in customizing one's experience with cheats in single player.

[–] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 58 points 13 hours ago (3 children)

I don't consider single player changes cheating. For something to be cheating, you need to break the rules agreed to by the players. If you're the only player, you presumably can't break the agreement you make with yourself.
