there are a few of us still bodging around out here.
I’m curious if anyone has experience with this stuff with an AMD card.
If I could finally ditch my windows gaming rig I would be a happy man.

And the incorrect assumptions just continue…
Edit: Who I am shouldn’t matter to you. Addressing the idea that you can shift some or all anti-cheat to the server is something you should try to engage with directly rather than appealing to authority. For what it’s worth, I’ve spent time as a programmer in the game industry in a handful of different roles and your search will eventually find me if you keep going down that road. My experience isn’t what I am arguing here, though.
Frankly, I feel like it’s wrong for you to say that the problem is pushed onto users when you don’t understand the code and effort the developers are writing to solve this issue specifically with counter-strike
You are the one who continues to make assumptions about what I do and do not understand about the code that makes this work in various games.
I don’t really feel like getting into the nitty gritty here in comments, but if your experience is what you say, I’m very surprised at some of your unqualified statements.
I’ll bow out now.
I wrote a snarky response because of the final insulting comment in yours but then thought better of it, going to try to address a couple of your points legitimately even after the unnecessary personal attack.
It’s a lot cheaper to make your server dumb. It costs you less in programmers with deep multiplayer programming experience, it costs you less in ongoing hosting because of reduced CPU usage, and it makes the problem less “yours” as a developer.
I’m saying that’s shitty that the developers will try to save money that way rather than investing in actual effective, privacy-respecting cheat prevention.
Your argument seems to be that a quake-style predictive algorithm is the only solution possible for online games. I doubt that is the case, but even if it were, using some raycasts on the server for some basic sanity checks on what data to send to players is an example of where lots of developers just can’t be bothered.
If you want to dismiss machine learning as heuristics, I’m sorta ok with that, as I think they are just glorified heuristics, but even the most basic analysis isn’t done by most developers. Instead, they rely on the sales pitches of various anti-cheat software and don’t implement anything beyond it, even when there might be some low hanging fruit.
I am not saying developers are lazy, there’s tons of stuff to work on. I am mad that this problem gets repeatedly pushed onto the users rather than the developers, though, and I think it’s reasonable for me to offer some pushback when both my CPU cycles and my privacy are being abused.
people really enjoy the boot of anti-cheat on their necks.
maybe these companies could move their cheat detection to the server where they control the code. maybe don’t just send all player positions so wall-hacks become impossible. maybe use some machine learning to look at input patterns and detect when a player is sending things that don’t look human.
the list of things companies could do to actually fix cheating in pvp games is long and all they want to do is pay for ridiculous anti-cheat that impacts normal users.
ridiculous.
At this point does Google ever do anything that isn’t awful for the consumer?
Eject, friend, eject!
Both sides are all just humans being the worst we have to offer as a species.
Egged on by ridiculous stories about men in the sky, they fight for no reason when we could all just treat each other as human.
Not going to agree with the commenter above, but I want to point out that this happens a lot:
A person who holds views that are detrimental to others comes to a community of those people and cries “why, when I am not quite like other people who hold these views, but agree with them on the detrimental stuff about you, do you not accept me?”
The people in the community try repeatedly to explain why holding views that harm others is harmful and that the person asking may need to revaluate their own views.
The person then says they’re being attacked. Everything they predicted about this community is coming true! They feel like they’re being kicked out!
And they are! Because when they came to engage then didn’t change, let alone evaluate, any of their own views, the community rightly showed them back to the door until they are ready to actually listen and put themselves in someone else’s shoes.
I am sure you feel like you have been badly treated at this point. What you do with that now is up to you. I’ll say this: I have no hate for you, I would like nothing more than to give you some feedback that might help change how you view some things. I hope there is enough food for thought here for everyone.
I find it positive to think about these writers, inspired to try to create something scientific and exciting but lacking the education themselves to do it justice, but then inspiring generations to learn and explore, who then return having learned enough to spot the problems.
I hope Star Trek can use science, and the generations of fans now inspired, to keep pushing these stories further because it feels like our collective need for Star Trek’s vision is as deep as ever.
I hear you.
Just remember that we know so much more about everything that happens on the earth than even just a few decades ago.
Things have always been bad everywhere, we just didn’t all have to hear about it every single day.
I say this just so you can maybe temper some of your feelings to make sure you’re accounting for that difference.
I hear you, but they didn’t timewarp from the late 90s to today, either. 2014 would have been a good time to think carefully about their defensive coalition membership.
Edit: I want to finish by saying I wish the US lived up to our ideals more often and that I also wish Armenia had better protection through their defense pacts.
Armenia is a member of the CSTO, right? That’s the NATO alternative run by Russia, as I understand it. Russia has no ability to actually help Armenia in this conflict, though.
I agree that the west is awful about doing the right thing if there’s no compounding factor to juice it like oil.
But Armenia made a decision to ally themselves with Russia for protection. That has proven to be a terrible mistake. Let’s not pretend this was a completely unavoidable situation that the west could just walk into and stop. Armenia’s membership in CSTO complicates that greatly.
So … gonna go with “a little of column a, a little of column b” here. I wish the west was more righteous and less greedy. I wish Armenia had chosen better friends.
Hey, family is family. Like I said, India needs to police their shit, they’re losing the script badly.
Hey, US citizen checkin in. Don’t fuck around in or with Canada unless you like pissing the US off, too. I don’t think India wants this heat. They need to change course.
My friend, many, many planes that have been crashed have been serviced and returned to service, including airliners.
I like the idea that life sucks so much that meth makes it better and the answer to that isn’t to try to improve lives but to lock people up so life is even fuckin worse.
People are tired of bad news in general. It has nothing in particular to do with where this happened.
The Internet means that I, someone thousands of miles away, am now aware of the tragedies you are suffering, as well. Sometimes it seems like that much knowledge of suffering just wasn’t what we were built to handle every day.
It’s not you or where you live, it’s just that humans can only take humans being awful to each other for so long before it becomes too much to bear.
Doubtful.
As an outsider with no horse in the race, I thought this a good discussion.
In the end, I think maybe Quebec gets what it wants: I have no interest in visiting a place that tries to police its “culture” that much.
sad and amazing how true this is.
to find anything worthwhile in Google search you often needed to add site:reddit.com
to find anything at all on Reddit you needed Google
well, glad I don’t go to those websites anymore…
