I was tired of people cheating on call of duty, so I deleted the game, then went to gta, 30 mins playing the game and I ran into 2 hackers that made themselves invincible and spawning in jets and helicopters. I keep trying different multiplayer games and it seems like I get to play for 15 minutes and I'm immediately met with a hacker. I'm at the point where I'm just done with multiplayer games and only going to play single player games.

then you have "influencers" claiming cheating doesnt exist on console and if you rebuke it, blind fans coming to say "mnk" duh it's not just mnk. Console players have access to the same full blown cheats as pc, it's unavoidable and inescapable. Something needs to be done from the hardware level to curb and ultimately destroy cheating in online gaming.

I hear you there. I've been gaming a very long time and it has lost my interest because of cheaters. I can't remember the last time I paid for a new game. In recent years they have been either free downloads or cheap older games. They're too much of a joke to me now days both in cost and how they all seem the same. Why people keep feeding the gaming machine with added cost for skins, upgraded weapons, characters, etc... only to then deal with all the cheating. "But wait there's more! Buy next year's NEW edition of the name thing for $100" LMAO

Really surprised there arent more videos on this. Feels like the cheating tech is just too far gone at this point and entire genre's are going to become competitively obsolete outside of controlled environments, which nukes the grassroots and growth of any scene. This is going to shape the kinds of games people play and invest time into moving forward significantly.

I cheated 20 years ago back in halo 2. Had a friend force my really shifty internet to be host. I definitely won a couple games because of it. 6 years ago I stream sniped a streamer. These memories haunt me. I'll never understand how someone can cheat in a game and not look back at it constantly with disgust. I look back at those memories like the time I was 5 and killed a lizard. People who can do shit like that and not have it bother them shouldn't be forgiven when they get caught. It should be illegal to play games from anywhere from a short time period to a permanent ban. Cheaters are major problem and giving someone an inch who's cheated is a mistake

I see that a lot, like on Steam discussions, it looks like a cheater strategy to normalize the issue and make it look like cheating is not so predominant while it is in fact rampant and many are even more blatantly cheating than ever before. I understand that some people are too fast to call other cheaters, I also got myself called a cheater a lot despite the fact I never did and never will, I like to play and to be proud when I do something well and I hate cheating when I encounter it (don't do to other what you wouldn't like for yourself). But I believe this is the cause of the rampant cheating issue, people get more and more suspicious and paranoid. 10 Years ago I was like "this guy doesn't feel right but I can't tell 100% he is cheating on spot/I need to check replay" 1 game out of 10 or 20, now it's 1 game out of 3 with just rage cheater, spinbotter, or even once a guy thought I was cheating, they all activated in the ennemy team living no doubt they where, and guess what, watching the demo, the guy that called me out was already cheating from the start with a wallhack and I was still beter than him before he tuned up (probably the reason he though I was cheating), but yeah once they went hardcore I was no match for them cause I don't cheat, I was just beter... I also met a nice guy from my country, playing rather well, we had fun in vocal and we teamed up for the next game, suddenly he was becoming a god while I was fucked over by the ennemy team and it ended up being that they where cheating and he was too (and other random player from the team)... Pretty sad to witness, sad I though I met a nice buddy to play with, just to find out he was a cheater, I fucking hate the state of multiplayer today, it is sad to witness.

Now I sit there obsessing over people's steam profiles like some fucking schizophrenic detective finding them with a level 0 2 friend account. I do honestly think its over for comeptitive multiplayer games and a large multiplayer game collapse is imminent . The only way I could honestly see this working is by tying your actual ID to servers and if that gets banned for cheating you are now barred from all games making the stakes for cheating high. however they comes with a range of issues unitl some omnipitent AI moderator who is able to disern a cheater and who isn't I honestly think im heading back to single player games.

The solution in my opinion could be, that we have a company which is verifying every player by their ID. This needs to be linked to your Account and you are only allowed the link it once - if you do not have a linked account, you can not play official servers. If you are getting banned from one server in any game by Anti Cheat or the Devs you are banned from every game who is participating in this "Anti Cheat Community". Like the saying is right: "Once a cheater - always a cheater".

So, China. What about false positives? Back when I was still playing shooters I was accused of cheating on a daily basis and reports came in nearly every game. Luckily I only got banned once and playing in competitive eSports gave me opportunities to prove I'm in fact not hacking, but what about other players? No opportunity to make a second account? That would also enforce age restrictions. I don't really care about it but there'll be a lot of backlash because honestly speaking, little to no one cares about an R18 rating anymore.

I almost exclusively played online multiplayer competitive games for QUITE SOME TIME. Thousands of hours per game (mostly CS:S / CS:GO / BF2 / BF3 etc. , you name it.) I completely stopped playing FPS and online PVP games altogether. I find myself mostly reading and watching videos in my free time, or going to the gym. Playing singleplayer games feels very wasteful to me... I can literally see how my time is being wasted while I play. The only time this doesn't happen is, if the game is REALLY good (like Elden RIng) or I am playing coop with at least one friend. Competitive Games are SO overrun with cheaters, that it's almost a miracle if you get a legit match in let's say CS:GO for example. 2015 it was more like "every 2/10 games there is maybe ONE cheater in the lobby (playing at the ~ 4 top ranks)" In 2023 it feels like every 1/10 games IS LEGIT, where ONE GUY MAY OR MAY NOT BE TOGGLING ON AND OFF xD And as soon as they start to get stomped they start cheating. It happens soooo often. A complete and utter waste of time to play on public servers. Tarkov is a great example of a game that was pretty niche, not a lot of players were playing it back in 2018 / 2019 - Now it exploded in popularity and with that comes the HORDES of cheaters. Don't even get me started on how that game is punishing as fuck in itself, has the WORST netcode of ALL games available right now. Has SO many bugs and is incredibly hard to get the hang of AND NOW ( it feels like to me) IN ALMOST EVERY LOBBY there might be at least ONE guy cheating Doesn't feel good getting fucked for no other reason than "this guy has a program that wins him the game. gg". It sucks to lose anyway, but if I lose, I wanna lose because I suck, not because I don't cheat lol.

The problem too is that cheating is "Normalized" or "People dont know when some one is cheating" (Soft aim bot or walls or VPN's) Another problem like you said in the video, No one speaks out on cheating cause, people get so much back lash for someone suspecting someone of cheating.. its almost like a Taboo to suspect someone of cheating and people will ridicule you for suspecting. (its like cheating is protected because of this.) Now Hear me out. Its already so bad to a point where "Legit Players that are good" (as Myself) Get called out for hacking cause my tracking and flicks can sometimes be on point and look like a cheat (sometimes ill watch my Vods and be like "Yup someone is gonna Suspect me of Cheating) There are so many ways of hiding cheating where Streamers will use a software where your "eyes" look like they are looking at the Game the whole time and they could be looking at their ESP walls (Second Monitor). only one flaw to that software at the moment (the eyes don't blink i mean i dont alot either but I hyperfocus like crazy and i have ADHD which makes it worse than my eyes burn after RIP EYES) WE NEED TO START TAKING CHEATING SERIOUSLY!

CS:S was the FPS of my school days. It was an absolute blast. If you suspected someone was a cheater, well guess what? Join spectator, watch them, then either !votekick, !voteban or !admin. Many servers even had a Teamspeak IP in their name or through system messages or commands. Join, go into the lobby, someone will move you after a few minutes and ask what's up. "There's a cheater on this RPG Surf server mate, care to take a look?" and a few minutes later the cheater was hit with a permban. I played that game for so many years and was only banned wrongly ONCE because an admin even tho I never cheated. But in return for one "bad" experience (we found it rather funny instead of being mad over it, even tho it was an RPG server and I lost hours of grind) I had years of rarely encountering cheaters - or at least no obvious ones. Sure people could have wallhacked etc. without being caught, but that's still better than even openly cheating going unpunished.

I miss Battle Field 3 PLAYER servers where a player had to pay to host a server. This made the host responsible for the environment. This took care of toxic players, hackers, players with no mic, balancing out teams so one team would not just stomp the other all night until they killed off the server population. This kept huge numbers coming back to the server each night. I remember having to wait in que for someone to leave until I could get in. The fact a dedicated player could react in real time to how the community was feeling was amazing... He set rules and if people didn't like it they left and his server was empty, or listened to feedback and created a server that had a waiting line to get in as everyone wanted to be in! These were the best games with the best people as we all had the same interests in game type and personality. Now devs just shove their game at us with no control or preference options so everyone gets board or annoyed and game fades away. Devs cant please everyone at the same time and we are at their mercy to play game types we don't want with players we cant control. We have to relay on discord communities and (Looking For Game) second party systems to find teams but still cant control the games types or settings, and by settings I mean map rotation, game type, or sub settings like weapon and vehicle preferences. Even the little control we had in Halo reach with veto options was a huge help as people picked the game type they wanted to play and when they got board of the same game type they voted for something new. If there were game types that never got picked over a few cycles they would be removed from play lists all together.

In the end its a societal problem. Etchisketchistan may be the most glaring example of "the noble cheater" phenomenon becoming accepted by the mainstream gaming community, its really everywhere. Take for example the recent case of ChatGPT being used to cheat on educational exams. Lack of moral development in young people is the real issue, and one could argue that young people are just replicating what they experience around them in society. It's a vicious cycle, but surely part of the human condition.

Here are my thoughts on this matter: 1. Partial solution to Etchesketchistan: introduce non-skippable form, akin to EULA, which forces all players to make a solemn vow to their God/Gods/Cthulhu/Whatever that they won't cheat, or else they'll be cursed or something. While this is completely non-binding from legal standpoint, some people are superstitious, so it might work to some degree. 2. Don't release the game as F2P. Don't make the game expensive, though, stay around 5-10$ price range. 3. Make people pay for unbanning, increasing the price with each consecutive unban. This will work if, for example, some person has rare skins and doesn't want to lose them. 4. Server-side almost everything. This won't prevent wallhacks and aimbots, but will limit cheating range. 5. Keep match replays on the server. Anyone should be able to watch them and report cheaters, with timestamps. Multiple false reports should result in some penalty. This should lighten the burden of moderators (which, I agree, should be hired on per-region basis). This measure can be viewed as community service, and devs can even offer some in-game rewards for reporting obvious cheaters. 6. Run statistics on replays / train ML models to recognize cheating patterns, with timestamps. Forward results to moderators, or apply automatic ban, if confidence is overwhelmingly high.

2. *$30 R6: Siege has the problem of Ubi making it go on sale so often you get huge waves of cheaters paying for the game at like $10 to be able to cheat for like 2 weeks. More if they buy multiple copies on separate accounts. Super common practice. 3. paying for unbanning would mean the companies would want more cheaters 4. if hitboxes were serverside as well, walls and aimbots would be much much harder to pull off. 5. Thats a system called Overwatch, and it was used at some point. Only very obvious cheaters got caught by it. Think spinbotters. 6. Valve has mentioned something about using AI to catch cheaters, but idk if it's gonna go anywhere.

FYI the solution you suggested is what Rust does kinda. Server admins can ban players from their server ofc, but they can also report them to the devs, which gets a higher priority and most of the times gets them a permaban/ban from the vast majority of other servers in a day or two. People's own servers also run plug-ins that check for steam id's in a shared database of hackers, and don't let them in. Result: Facepunch is making more money because most cheaters just make a new account, buy the game again, and cheat again.

We can only hope for two things... ...1. that projects like _"Anybrain" or "Waldo Vision"_ will succeed, as it would absolutely revolutionize the way we detect cheaters, no matter if traditional cheaters, people using external devices or even AI cheats - we could get them all. ...2. that we find a way to force the industry to act on cheaters, cause at the moment they profit from them. If we really expose so many players, a lot of them will be unwilling to accept to play on par with other players, which means a large chunk of players would actually have to stop playing. The industry would not want to lose costumers, so I even go so far to predict that they will implement agreements and shit in order to stop external cheat detection that is 100 times better than their intrusive dogshit on kernel level. In the end we would not only need to fight the cheaters, but the system protecting them.

The worst thing a developer can do to stop cheaters its actually stopping them, i mean, in a fight theres two things that can make you actually lose, the Physical and Mental battles... If you somehow detect a cheater, you shouldnt make him know he got caught, instead of instantly banning him, you can just play with Server/Client things, for example: make them only get matched with other hackers and tag him as a Cheater and make Wave Bans every random week, and for confusing more the scripters, if they dont play like a casual player and just use random accounts for testing your anti cheat, dont ban them and now they fall in the Domain Expansion: Imaginary Shadow Ban

I've noticed the rise of cheating going crazy this past year pretty much all PvP multiplayer games have become borderline unplayable. I've started uploading every instance of cheating or suspecting cheating to my channel, My Idea for stopping cheating requires fundamental changes to how PvP games are made. Also looking to AI to create a system that potentially cannot be bypassed. First thing is games need to be built with robust systems for reporting. Full and accurate replays of the match that can be clipped from in game and sent to an AI algorithm that will learn over time what is human and what is a bot. All game variables need to be server sided. Then you'd have an AI overwatch on a separate server with one way access to only retrieve the replay of the game and if anything happened in the game that shouldn't like teleporting or speed hacking etc gets banned.. The only issue I see is that the exceptional player might get flagged as cheater, maybe. Cheaters would then make their hacks look like the upper percentage of players.. But it should make games feel fairer because anything not humanly possible would just be flagged. Of course it's all just theoretical..

In BFV and BF1 they don't even try to hide it. Played that a couple days recently and noped the fuck out of there. In addition to that we have crossplay with aim assist so strong, pros started using a controller. You have in between hardware like Cronus. So what's the point? Just be a target for them?

Pre-emptively - I blame entirely the matchmaking "culture" in game design. A completely unapproachable algorithm saddles randoms with randoms, who only work towards themselves with no individual oversight whatsoever. You can't have an admin team keeping servers clean, you can't form bonds with people you meet same time every day, you can't... simply... RECOGNIZE anyone, beyond their social media clout at least. Matchmaking ENCOURAGES cheating, and removes the means to curb it on an individual level. EDIT: and by the time I wrote this it's literally what you're talking about. Fuck, lol.

Creativity on the playerside is gone. Everyone wants to "hit clips", speed run the game or progression, and then complain that the devs aren't adding content fast enough. The amount of "tarkov tip" channels alone shows this. Watch those videos, sit along the routes that they preach and just slay the sheep.

The only ones who care about cheating are: A) the players. B) the people making money from selling cheats. So unless the incentives change or the power of decision changes, this will not get better. I am not a cheat developer or a cheater myself, but if I was developing cheats, I would keep track of player numbers in games to make sure I have two modes: 1) sell only a few cheats at high prices while the player numbers are high (lower income but longer sustainability). 2) Sell cheats at lower prices to anyone that wants them when player numbers are low (the games' days are numbered, better to cash in as fast as you can). Based on how multiplayer games look (the "dead" games are 90% cheaters and 10% private lobbies, while the popular games increase in cheater numbers over time), I assume a lot of cheat sellers have the same mindset. A few instances have already suggested that companies make the money either way, and in some cases cheats may increase sales as banned players purchase the game/microtransactions again making it a bit more understandable why we have "Bann waves" instead of active on the spot bans.

This is kind of a crazy and convoluted idea but hear me out. What if a game had an option for "premium" servers? But instead of charging a fee to join the server they require you to purchase a specialized device that acts similar to a webcam but instead of recording you, it records your screen with an external camera. They could send a live feed of the players screen to an A.I. and if the it detects anything that looks like cheats it flags that player for further inspection. Perhaps the devs could even be personally responsible for distributing the devices or have them made in a specific way so that they will only be compatible with the devs software (assuming thats possible) and prevent people from trying to use an alternate device as a workaround Its certainly not an easy fix and I'm sure some cheaters will still get through it but at this point I'd be willing to try just about anything

We spent our holidays at LANS. Whether fun ones with mates or competitive ones. Back then money wasn’t a big part of the game. People played for the competition. For the respect. Communities were all on mIRC. Everyone knew everyone in the competitive scene. Cheaters were outed as cheats weren’t as advanced and once outed it was hard for them to come back due to how tight the community was. Now? I doubt many younger gamers even know what “diol” means. so happy I grew up in that era. Online gaming today is just rife with cheaters.

Considering the developers have already confirmed we wont be getting private servers outside of the tournament they host I'm not sure how in game moderators would help much unless they are 1 of the people actually in that random lobby the game throws you in. In which case it would be the same outcome as a player report just a little faster.
