No, I don’t think chess players need the butthole check. Just give them an MRI before a match (jk)

Those were just off the top of my head cheats. Even for non FPS games like civ they discovered a guy was using a bug to load the map seed and map out the goodie huts for an advantage while streaming.

People were able to figure out his play was suspicious with math and look closer.

Even if you remove non visible players, you still need to render footsteps and sounds through walls. I think it’s a fine idea, to quote the mathematician from Jurassic Park “life, uh, finds a way”

I actually do agree that cheat detection should be a mix of ML and algorithm based signals that result in review. For non competitive play the ratio of cheat votes or something probably works well enough.

I think kernel level anti cheat is too invasive, and it’s weak.

I don’t really know what the state of cheating in those types of games is, fighting games feel epically Wild West, with specialized controllers or grips and single frame hits. The creativity of fighting game players is amazing.
