Commissar SFLUFAN Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Call of Duty’s new anti-cheat system includes a kernel-level driver to catch PC cheaters WWW.THEVERGE.COM Call of Duty: Warzone will get the driver first later this year. Quote Activision and Raven Software are finally cracking down on cheating in Call of Duty: Warzone. A new Ricochet anti-cheat system is arriving in both Call of Duty: Warzone and Call of Duty: Vanguard. The system will use a combination of a PC kernel-level driver, machine learning algorithms to examine player behavior, and a “team of dedicated professionals” working to investigate cheaters. The PC kernel-level driver has been developed internally for the Call of Duty franchise and will launch first for Call of Duty: Warzone with the upcoming Pacific update. PC games are increasingly using kernel-level drivers to detect sophisticated cheating, but since they run at such a high level in Windows, there are always privacy concerns surrounding such an approach.

The SFV situation involved a rootkit that was surreptitiously installed. Valorant uses a similar kernel-level system (that they fully revealed would be used) and it's gotten a generally positive reaction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimpleG Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 1 hour ago, Brick said: Yeah that went over my head. In Kernel mode, the executing code has complete and unrestricted access to the underlying hardware. It can execute any CPU instruction and reference any memory address. Kernel mode is generally reserved for the lowest-level, most trusted functions of the operating system. Crashes in kernel mode are catastrophic; they will halt the entire PC.

The cheats go beyond a skill level of any normal human. I just think they like having a high kill count. Beyond that I don't really see how you could have fun in a competitive game if you can easily headshot people across the map. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xbob42 Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 3 hours ago, sblfilms said: Is there an actual solution? A moderation strike team able to quickly respond to reports of cheating and immediately initiate bans, rather than waiting for ban waves every few months as cheaters run rampant. This, combined with a player-driven votekick option (in games where applicable, and with long, juicy bans for abuse and the ability to votekick in the future revoked) can massively cut down on cheating. All this anti-cheat bullshit is just a way to save a few bucks on a team that could get the job done better, faster and more accurately.

People love being able to piss other people off. I also think there's a cultural thing too. I've heard from a couple of people that the reason you see a lot of cheaters coming in from China is because they don't view downloading a cheat as cheating; they view it as using whatever resource is available to win the game, so they're playing normally in their minds.

Brick Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Good. Wish more of these cheat sites would get sued, and shut down. For all games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
