Cheating is such a thorny issue that almost no one wants to talk about it.
Money is power, you often hear, and yet for years Valve Corporation and all its billions was powerless to stop a $20 cheat called LMAOBOX from ruining the fun of Team Fortress 2 for thousands of players. Sometimes players would send in proof of cheats with video evidence, but careful players could use the cheat to show all enemy players on the map, force melee criticals, enable auto-aims and a host of other unsporting tactics with impunity.
But Eugen Harton, lead producer at Bohemia Interactive, bucked the trend and chose to talk. Bohemia Interactive makes for a good case study, as DayZ and Arma 3 have long been plagued by cheats, some of which Harton says go for as much as $500. Yet he and his comparatively small team continually crusade against them despite being confronted with death threats, the harassment of relatives, and the sharing of the team's personal information.
For Harton, those barriers include what he calls"sanity checks," which monitor actions that always perform a certain way, such as bullet trajectory, and flag violations of those physics. Many cheat coders also use the same code variants in their works, and recognizing those patterns can help find the actual cheat.
The struggle to bridge the gap between client and server can lead developers down other controversial paths, as well. Harton only mentions Bohemia Interactive's preferred anticheat client, BattlEye, in passing, but it raised an alarm in the ARK: Survival Evolved community after players reported that it was digging through their personal files.
Often, Bohemia Interactive relies on the community to report offenders, but"most of the time" these are false flags.
