Third Party AntiCheat? Or DRM?

[DRUNK_CANADIAN]

So I found this....

5. CONSENT TO ANTI-CHEAT MONITORING
If the Game detects the use of an unauthorized third party program, your access to official Stunlock servers for V Rising may be terminated with or without additional notice to you.


...how does the developer/publisher conduct such monitoring?

Anyone look through the install files?

Also any blatantly obvious DRM or anticheat? Thanks in advance.

why you want anti cheat? This isnt rust where an aimbot ruins the game. This is skilled based combat.

Messaggio originale di Tuxicoman FR:

because the server is small (50people), I think we could be free of automated anti-cheat system and use human monitoring instead (server admin could ban reported cheaters)

you are living in a fantasy world for that to happen. Tons of games out there that have even fewer number of players who are caught cheating regularly by the anti cheat systems they use.

If people have a problem with any type of anti cheat system being used in any online game, simply DO NOT PLAY. It's that simple.

I swear a small minority of "special minded people" believe in all manner of conspiracy theories and/or for "reasons", some being prior and likely current cheaters.

It's not just about aiming as you can always run into those people that are invincible with speed hacks and can one shot anything or walk through walls.

So to recap no DRM only always online?

+1, it seems that I am one of the few people here who understands what are you saying.

Your post can be summed up as:

"IT IS NOT EVEN HALF NORMAL FOR A GAME TO MONITOR AND INSPECT WHAT YOU DO ON THE COMPUTER, SOMETHING THAT EVEN YOUR PARENTS DON'T DO (given that, after all, you are of legal age, and not a child)"

I just saw from a curator:

"⚠️Has DRM that requires Steam. ✅LAN multiplayer. ✅Player-hosted dedicated servers. ✅Steamworks multiplayer."

And the point is that I'm used to host my own servers, and I don't want a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game to start snorting where it shouldn't, cause it shouldn't.
