Streamers won't ever get a greenlight from me unless they show a cam of their setup with a view of their screen. I don't trust any first person streamer these days
"At this stage of the thread". People stopped quoting that person literally seven hours ago.Y'all can honestly stop dog piling on the take it's embarrassing at this stage of the thread lol.
Yeah, I agree, he shouldn't have been banned, he was just misunderstood and is correct that there really isn't a solution to eleminate cheating completely like this other than not even messing with PC. Only thing they can do is expose them and have as good as anti-cheat as possible. There will continue being exposing vids as long as online gaming exists, and will always be more promenant on PC due to the open nature of it.That's not what he said.
English is clearly not his first language.
I suffer the same affliction which is how I understood his point, which was that the only way to get rid of the inevitable is to do the unthinkable (stop producing PC games altogether).
He tried so hard to explain he didn't really mean to actually stop making PC games, but he failed, I see.
He's banned now.
What's the point of cheating in competitive games? Where's the satisfaction in that? I truly don't get it.
i guess the cheating tool is a separate overlay that renders on top of the game. that way the cheater can avoid streaming it by accident.How does he hide the cheat from the stream? I don't understand
PC is steadily becoming the biggest gaming platform out there (excluding mobile).
PC is like the second biggest plataform, only tailing mobile devices
Yeah I share your hypothesis; Stuff like the Nvidia Shadowplay overlay work the same way so they normally aren't caught by capture hooks, as they get drawn in after the capture software gets its frame. In this case the capture software finally caught it in the framebuffer, either due to some sort of late frame or interference, which caused the capture order to change or the next frame to not draw at all, causing the capture software to then capture everything that was in the frame buffer that occurred for that length of frame.Could be that the cheat is being rendered as an overlay on top of the game itself. That way the game if used as a source will not display any of the overlay the cheat may be injecting. So if you stream only the game instead of your entire screen, the overlay may not display to viewers.
Just a guess, haven't really ever streamed so not sure what's possible.
Maybe the game runs at 120fps, obs captures at 60fps and the cheat only shows in the other 60 frames, interpolated? Maybe I'm just dumb lollol
Those cheats probably have a "hide in OBS" function built in
Lot of people who cheat (not only in games, but also in sports and academia) have mentality where they believe that they COULD actually be that good but are just screwed over by bad luck/lack of time to practice/whatever mental gymnastics they practice, and cheat as a shortcut to achieve something they think they "deserve" but can't quite reach.
This is part of why I can't invest myself in shooters at a high level, there's this general assumption of cheating that ruins the integrity of the genre.
No, it's just a terrible gif.Is this like a half rendered version? Incredibles didn't look this bad right?
I am in the same boat . Last COD I enjoyed was black ops 4. Only bought MW and tried the beta for cold war and vanguard. And they all don't feel good to play on top the cheating problems.The only thing the video has done is remind me how bad COD has become. As someone else said earlier in this thread, it's like the gameplay is at x1.5 speed - it's so weird. Doesn't look or feel grounded or realistic (even a jetpack game like Black Ops 3 had some weight and heft to the movement). One of the reasons I haven't played COD since BO4.
Funnily enough the easiest way to cheat that doesn't even get you banned is using those recoil dampening dongles for your console.Nothing will ever fix this. The only option is to not develop on PC. PC players will always find a way to cheat
There's a perverse economic incentive now due to the nature of streaming that I think changes the calculus. Previously you cheated purely for personal enjoyment, but now it gives you the potential to short-circuit your way to streaming relevance by being one of the 'best'.
i guess the cheating tool is a separate overlay that renders on top of the game. that way the cheater can avoid streaming it by accident.
if i'm correct, then what happened here was that the streaming program accidentally started to record the cheater's entire screen instead of only the game.
Now I get the Clara reference. Also, this is among the worst cringe I've seen online and I've seen a bunch of really bad stuff.
