I can't see that taking off at scale, but certainly in the semipro level it would be used. Besides, I know like 90% of cheaters are 14 year old kids who used the first google result because it's so easy to. Any resistance and that

For sure in other games, yeah. Newell is opposed to kernel anti cheats, though, so probably not in CSGO. But other games now look at CSGO and make kernel AC's a selling point (literally Valorant's selling point), so yeah.

Yeah I actually almost worked with a ESEA cheat provider that did exactly this. It was a hypervisor that ran the kernel-AC within it. It really subverted my expectations, if you will ;)

Faceit is really good for an anticheat. It's just that the skill floor is too high to encapsulate casual users, otherwise it would probably kill matchmaking. Cheats cost $60+ and cheat providers get killed often by detection waves

VACnet catches the spinbotters and aimbotters! Actually really good at it too; everyone who did that now just cheats less hard. The biggest problem was: It didn't auto ban, just sent to overwatch (players watch a past game and vote for

100% this. Coming from someone who made one myself :p if everyone had to do it to cheat, cheating would be OVER at a casual level, and a minor issue at semipros/pros (even irl tourneys can be hacked! see forsaken).

That's a small fraction of all cheaters. I was a dev of a free open source cheat and our download rates were insane.

If there's one thing that all cheaters have in common, it's an inflated ego. If the enemy is cheating, and half your teammates are, and it's casual, you're gonna toggle on harder. There is no way to get banned in casual,

I mean, it has fog of war, yes. It's not as good or strict as it could be. I have seen discussions with the devs and they say that if it is more "strict" (ie hiding player positions until they are closer) would be more taxing

I wish I could reply to this with a rallying cry for you to keep trying. But it's true, every 14 year old kid with a keyboard can cheat in competitive now.

Pretty well. It doesn't shoot through them, because it can't see through them. Sometimes it aims/shoots through them somewhat early before it dissipates completely, because rxn time is way faster than a human. But it's c

VACnet hurts cheaters, and also probably 25% of legits as well. In low trust this can be verified pretty quickly. Even in the gutter of trust, redder than red, you still have about 50-60% of players cheating. That's nearly half of ever

Does popflash.site have an AC? I didn't have a problem last time I tested it. I think your server could check for several cvars that are only enabled for cheaters using some cheats, to auto-ban them. Though this precludes externals and
