Rust
The actual reason behind blacklisting the A4Tech mice (также на русском)
1. A4Tech mice can execute the macros in hardware, all by themselves, without using any software on the PC. You program it and the anticheat simply can't tell if it's been programmed to counter the recoil. Most other mice DON'T execute mouse movements in hardware, for this specific reason. You can write an anti-recoil script for a Logitech mouse as well, but it can be detected by anti-cheat, at least in theory, because it executes in the software or the driver. That's a huge difference.

2. RUST antirecoil macros for A4Tech mice (specifically for them) are freely available online, even being sold for money by some people. It's an epidemic and it's being actively abused, regardless of you noticing it.

3. RUST is the game which loses the most from these macros. You can gain a massive advantage with macros, gameplay-wise. However, norecoil can give you a fair amount of advantage in any military-like game with a semi-random recoil. You cannot make recoil completely random.

When they first started to advertise their Bloody brand many years ago, I bought their mouse. It was crap compared to a proper device, but I was surprised how easy it is to counter the recoil and be completely undetected. I gave it a year before the major anticheats would start blacklisting it, but for some weird reason it didn't happen. Finally it happened now, in 2019, for a specific game, and it's completely justified, enjoy.

Yes, it's sad that many innocent people were blocked from using their devices. Yes, it's not the only problem RUST currently has. But if nobody will do anything about this, the norecoil epidemic will continue and other manufacturers will have the same feature. I hope other games and the Battleye will follow. Devices which are specifically designed and optimized for cheating don't have any place in online gaming.

A4Tech mice were blocked by the vendor code because it's hard to tell the specific model and it's capabilities. That's also sad but inevitable. I hope EAC will do something about this.

I don't know about the latest Razer mice. If they reallly started to allow hardware execution of any macros with the cursor movements, they also deserve to be blacklisted IMO. This is too easy to abuse, and implementing programmatic mouse movements in hardware has nothing to do with convenience or fair play.

============ and the same in Russian, since most A4Tech users are in exUSSR countries:

1. Мыши A4Tech выполняют макросы на самой мыши, и поэтому макросы на антиотдачу не могут быть обнаружены античитом. В отличие от большинства мышей, которые именно по этой причине исполняют макросы на движение курсора в сопутствующем софте или драйвере, что может быть хотя бы теоретически просканировано на честность игры. Это гигантская разница.

2. Макросы на RUST свободно доступны онлайн, некоторые особо оборотистые даже впаривают их дуракам за деньги. Это эпидемия, и это активно абузится, без разницы видите это лично вы или нет.

3. RUST это игра, которая портится больше всех остальных от макросников. Благодаря ним вы получаете огромное преимущество. Контроль калаша это недели/месяцы упорного ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ства, макрос позволит это получить за просто так, и даже лучше. Что позволит вам разматывать в одиночку целые кланы, т.к. RUST это очень скилозависимая игра.

Когда Bloody впервые появились на нашем рынке много лет назад, я купил себе такую мышь. Мышь была ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ом, но позволяла поразительно легко настроить антиотдачу, и напрямую рекламировалась для обхода античита в играх, даже на коробке было написано что за это бан невозможен. Я думал что настолько наглый девайс заблочат в больших античитах максимум через год, но по какой-то причине этого не произошло. Вот это произошло хотя бы сейчас, хотя бы для одной игры, в 2019 году, годы спустя. Наслаждайтесь.

Да, сожалею что многим невинным игрокам заблокировали вход в игру с такой мышью. Да, макросы это далеко не единственная проблема игры. Но если с этим ничего не делать, макросники так и продолжат руинить игры, и RUST особенно. Больше того,

Я ничего не знаю насчёт последних моделей Razer. Если они действительно умеют исполнять макросы с движением мыши аппаратно, они также заслуживают бана, на мой взгляд. Таким устройствам не место в онлайн-играх, и это не имеет ничего общего с удобством, единственное для чего такую фичу делают аппаратной - читерство.

И да, мыши A4Tech заблочили все и сразу, тупо по вендор-коду. Это обидно, но неизбежно, потому что трудно различить конкретную модель и что она умеет или не умеет, для этого надо их тестить. Надеюсь, что EAC все же что-нибудь сделает с этим, хотя вероятность небольшая.

The developers of this product prohibit the use of mice of the brand "Bloody" or "A4tech", which is not indicated in the system requirements.

This is a direct violation of paragraphs 1 and 4 of the Consumer Rights Act 2015.

Exactly. Facepunch should add random accuracy penalty instead of this stupid recoil that can be avoided with mouse macros. That would stop prefering players with macros, and would avoid the problem with the need to ban mouses now. Shooting should be like in any other shooter games, where macros won't help. Facepunch has created this problem and now continues on the this road to nowhere instead of avoiding this situation like almost all game developers did.
And now the game doesn't comply with the minimum requirements listed in Steam - so everyone should report the game. As mouse requirements are not mentioned in game requirements. Probably Steam would return money for this reason if we wanted it. Maybe this is the best way to make Facepunch notice what they did.

Not really, macros give the advantage in most games. It's an epidemic in PUBG as well, and it has a random recoil component. There always going to be a fixed component to make the gun behave more or less realistically and have an enjoyable skill-based mechanic. It's unavoidable. Imagine a game where your bullets fly randomly in a cone, without any recoil. Not much fun, isn't it.

IANAL so can't comment on the legal side. Sue them if you want, get a class action moving. But props to Facepunch for having the balls and being the first to make this long-awaited move.

Lol, goodluck with that. I would love to hear you explain yourself before a judge. Considering these types of mouse have actually stolen playtime/effort from legit players you will have to make shure they can not sue you after you sue them lol

I love how you put this in russian also, just because you know they are using it lol

Well I live in Russia myself and A4Tech has a big market share in exUSSR and in Eastern Europe in general (probably only surpassed by Logitech) because it's cheap and because they target our markets. It dominates the low price sector since early 2000s. Most users don't care about their off-CPU macros execution capabilities, that's why they are mad. I wrote this wall of text because most people don't understand the huge difference between them and other models.

80% players from CIS countries have a4tech mouses (especially x7), since a4tech is the most popular mouse brand in CIS.

Я понимаю боль игроков которых заебали макросы, но уже сей час появилась пара вариантов обходов банов, которыми гниды воспользуются... а простые работяги просто забют ♥♥♥!!! я не думаю что от этой блокировки станет легче.
Alastor Dec 14, 2019 @ 7:31am 
А еще 100% читеров пользуются мониторами, давайте банить мониторы. Жаль автор даун)

В отличие от самих мышей A4Tech, которые живут своей жизнью независимо от ПК, все эти способы программные, работают на самом ПК, и рано или поздно будут обнаружены EAC, точно так же как может быть обнаружено баловство в NVidia Inspector и подобные вещи. Вопрос в том, насколько авторам не похер на способы обхода.

Жаль что ты не прочитал эту стену текста, в которой специально пояснено принципиальное отличие этих мышей от ситуации с хорошим монитором или мощной видеокартой.

Жаль, что такие дауны как - ты, не знают, что для борьбы с макросами можно например сделать рандомную отдачу, а не просто банить мышки. Могу тебя огорчить, у меня на SteelSeries тоже можно юзать макросы, тупорылый ты аутист.

I will trade my mouse for any approved mouse from facepunch or steam.

You nailed it buddy. Spot on. Not legal by me either. Class action lawsuit should have happened long ago, but players just don't seem to want to take this stuff seriously. All they seem to care about is the time they can log playing their game and ignore the rest. By doing so, all it's doing is creating us players a massive amount of problems in our play spaces.

Whether people figure this is justified or not, fact is it's not legal and so long as people let companies get away with it, they will continue doing it.

Oh, he knows that. This is clearly a new account created with the sole purpose of spreading misinformation and confound people.

What about the people that made and used cheats in pubg? They were arrested by authorities. The reason why rust are blacklisting these mice, is because they are typically used to promote an unfair advantage over others. Bloody is infamous for no recoil scripts and has been an issue for ages. I cant comment on A4 cause i dont know much about it.
