All I need is to control the progress of the whole project, including testing and understanding the new version. Chuhe's life is quite good.

But this moisture will soon end.

Apex heroes that have been online for a long time, like most PC platform FPS, are facing a very serious problem.

The proliferation of cheats, as a free game with no threshold, the cost of cheating in Apex Heroes is really too low.

Even if Tianhe Network is quite strict on the prevention of cheating, including banning machines.

But this is just a common method. In some games, the so-called banning machine is just banning IP or machine code.

But there are ways to remove these. Using software to modify MAC and virtual changing hardware information can achieve the effect of deception.

In addition, it is not difficult to apply for a TEU account, and AEPX Heroes is a free game, so cheats will soon spread.

"Only relying on system value detection and manual bans, we have banned more than 700,000 accounts in one day, among which China, Russia, and North America are the places with the highest number of cheating areas."

In the video, West from Respawn Entertainment said to Chuhe with a headache.

The problem of cheating is the most troublesome thing for FPS. Even if it is a fun FPS game, if it cannot effectively prevent cheating, it will not be completely cold in the end, but it is definitely possible that the popularity will drop drastically.

And in APEX Heroes, the game experience of plug-ins can be said to be a bit too good. First of all, the intention of the defensive armor mechanism itself is to prevent players from suddenly dying. Gaming experience is better.

But these are really helpful for cheaters.

Ordinary players can't cheat instantly, but the automatic aiming of cheats can instantly break the armor of ordinary players and kill them instantly.

"Relevant technical personnel will assist you soon, and I will discuss it with others. For now, we will use manual review and numerical detection to ban the cheating." Chuhe said.

After hanging up the video with Respawn Entertainment, Chuhe approached Plott and the others to discuss how to do this.

"Like PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds? Through the reward plan, players can also participate in the prevention and control of cheating?" Prot put forward a suggestion.

This is a method that is still used in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds so far. Although it cannot be completely eliminated, the overall environment is definitely a very good one in the shooting game category.

"It's not very suitable, because PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is a paid game, while APEX Heroes is a free game." Chu He shook his head lightly and said.

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds banning a cheating account may bring about an increase in income, while AEPX hero banning an account will only bring artificial expenses.

Although Chuhe does not recommend spending a lot of money to completely curb cheating in the prevention and control of cheating, but as a free game, Chuhe knows that this is only a temporary solution, not a permanent solution.

"Or similar to Respawn Entertainment's previous Titanfall 1, specifically creating a fairy suit for cheaters, so that cheaters can eat dogs themselves?" Prot suggested again.

"Immortal clothes?" Chuhe shook his head first, but then thoughtfully: "What do you think the cheating players are doing for?"

Hearing Chu He's words, Plott took a strange look at Chu He: "Of course it's for fun, to hang and kill ordinary players to get the satisfaction of vanity."

"Then what if it makes them unhappy? If the account is found and blocked, they can continue to open it, but if the cheating is detected, and then we don't block his account, so that he has no way to enjoy it, do you think it will make them more disgusting than the account ban? " Chuhe said to Plott.

What's the meaning?

Listening to Chuhe's words, Plot was a little confused.

"To put it simply, when a cheating player is detected in the server, we give the normal player the cheating function, the blood volume is increased by ten times, and the damage received is reduced by 10 times. times, all normal players in the entire server cannot harm each other, and the cheating players will be announced by the system, and have 50 lives at the same time."

"The player can easily kill the cheater's life, but the cheater can't kill the player. If you say this, the cheater will feel very disgusted?" Chuhe proposed a plan that sounded a little whimsical.

Can you still prevent cheating in this way?

It is detected that the cheating is not banned, and then let the player cheat by himself to torture and kill the cheater?

"But how to detect cheating is still a problem." Prot continued.

"The machine and IP detection during account registration, as well as the report detection in the game, including the internally developed anti-cheat numerical anomaly detection system, although there may still be fish that slip through the net, most of the cheats cannot escape. At the same time, I will Contact relevant departments for legal action." Chuhe said.

Other places may not be easy to manage, but at least in Huaxia, Chuhe thinks he can still do it.

And this time Chuhe not only decided to do it himself, but also decided to find some teammates for himself. Tianhe Network is not the only manufacturer whose interests have been violated because of cheating.

Including Penguin, Wangyi, and its games, it can be said that it has been tea poisoned by cheating for a long time, but it has little impact on the interests, and this thing is intricately involved, so Wangyi, Penguin and other companies have never What decent hacking attacks have been carried out, but a lot of effort has been spent on private servers.

Moreover, some time ago, a large domestic game company represented Counter-Strike of V agency, and spent hundreds of millions of agency fees, and then it didn't make a splash, and the national server was already occupied by cheaters.

At this time, Chuhe reckoned that if he went to find him, the other party would not ignore him. In addition, EA and Ubisoft could also get in touch. After all, Rainbow Six and Battlefield were also suffering from cheating on the PC platform.

It may be difficult to kill all these hacking teams with one stick, but at least one must show a basic attitude and let others know that there is a price to pay for going too far.

As for the method, as long as the other party has the foundation, it depends on whether the manufacturer behind it is willing to spend money.

"It's decided in this way, let the technical team contact Respawn Entertainment to develop the hunter mode of the plug-in, and strive to go online within three days." Chuhe made a decision.

It's not adding new content, just making built-in data changes and quantification.

It is not so difficult to work a little overtime for three days.

In reality, it is too difficult to reverse the game, especially the FPS type, so let’s YY it in the book~
