Insane Ruffles 74 Posted June 4, 2014 So I work as a an anti-cheat developer sometimes, and it would be cool if servers could have the ability to disable BE in favor of another anti-cheat. This would over all increase server security for those who want a custom anti-cheat. As of right now, you cannot develop one because you get banned for trying to find exploits. What do you think?

Dchil 829 Posted June 4, 2014 How about you stop trying to invent an anti cheat for a game which already has a good one. Then you won't get banned testing it to see if you can use exploits. Or how about stop using exploits. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quantum2k6 348 Posted June 4, 2014 (edited) hmm strange how much ppl atm ask for an option to disable BE on the servers... looks like the last security fixes works well B) "testing" lmao u dont need to "test" anything if u already get banned for it...

SmashT 10907 Posted June 4, 2014 Sounds like a pretty terrible idea to me and I find your claims of being an anti-cheat developer dubious at best. It sounds more like you just want to run hacks to try and determine if others are cheating or perhaps for more nefarious reasons. What anti-cheats have you developed? If you know of any weaknesses in the game or anti-cheat, why not just send them your feedback so those weaknesses can be fixed (as they have been doing), a recent example would be ammo calculation being moved server-side eliminating unlimited ammo cheats. BattlEye also isn't the only anti-cheat that DayZ uses, VAC is also enabled. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This would open up more job opportunities for me. I do not see what is so terrible about it. You can disable it on mod and that has helped prevent many more hackers than BE would have been able to prevent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could you give me your game nick or server you play most?I will gladly help you!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SmashT 10907 Posted June 4, 2014 DayZ mod had an issue with cheaters primarily using scripts. In DayZ scripts pretty much don't do anything anymore which is why cheaters have moved to memory-hacks rather than scripting. Do you have any experience with anti-cheat development outside of DayZ mod as those types of "anti-hacks" we saw in the mod cannot really do anything to combat non-script hacks so would be pretty useless 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nexventor 429 Posted June 4, 2014 It makes me so warm and fuzzy inside when that red writing pops up with GLOBAL BAN: Player XXXXXXX etc etc Sometimes I find it more amusing than the game itself. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
