PLEASE use Punkbuster for anti-cheat

Post » Fri Dec 31, 2010 1:41 am

Crytek,

On Crysis 1 you used PB for anti cheat, which works just great. I used PB on my COD WAW server, even cheaters who flew under their radar were caught, whenever i send PB a video off the server files (not fraps or anything), off course if the video showed that player cheats, a ban was issued and banned from all ranked/PB servers.

I run a COD Black Ops server and VAC is very slow and we can not access the master ban index and limited features.

I believe i speak for us all in the PC community, especially those who have more experience running servers and using PB, when i say that we would like to have PB on our servers.

I do plan on getting a Crysis 2 ranked server, so please understand this critical point and support us.

Thank you.

Punkbuster is ****. Its going to take community programmers to eventually kill all the cheats. Just like it did last time.

Having a COD WAW PB server, cheaters who flew under PB's radar where still banned from all PB streaming servers. How?

If a cheater is suspected, there is a "theater mode" if you will on all PB streaming servers. Only admins can access this feature, so take a clip, send it to PB, if it is legit (aka cheating), they issue a master ban and that player is banned from all PB streaming servers.

This is something that VAC should incorporate, sending legit videos from a game (take black ops for example for theater mode purposes) and VAC should ban such player(s).

Depends on the prices, so far prices are all estimated.

I play tactical, so no TDM/TIA (sorry).

I am unimpressed with PunkBuster, in my opinion VAC is much more effective.

No I am not, but I have met some of the developers and had a tour around the facility in Irvine CA :)

Although, one of my family members works in the "quality assurance" department, but that is nothing to really be proud of lol.

The minute someone like LongPoke issues a hack, PB is toast. And its bound to happen. End the end, community programmers and server admins will have to band together once again to kill it all.

PB do not support X64.

We need a anti-cheat program, but there are others aside PB.

Crytek,

On Crysis 1 you used PB for anti cheat, which works just bad. I used VAC on my TF2 server, even cheaters who flew under their radar were caught, and they were automatically banned without me having to waste the time making and sending a video to them and waiting weeks before they got banned

I run a Crysis server and PB is very slow and Hackers that are reported can still play on servers until the ban issued is approved after a lot of days

I believe i speak for us all in the PC community, especially those who have more experience running servers and using VAC, when i say that we would like to have VAC on our servers.

I do plan on getting a Crysis 2 ranked server, so please understand this critical point and support us.

Thank you.

Why PB or VAC? So Crytek can't develop an anti-cheat solution?

Thanks, but I don't want the game depend on Steam.

PB is honestly the best 3rd party anti-cheat there is. its not very good tho lol..but its the best option. i just cant figure out why PB doesnt buy the cheats and then reverse engineer them to block them. they seem to take FOREVER to block when if they'd spend a little money they could block the cheats as soon as they come out

No. the main reason why crysis 1 had issues is because it was a very unsupported game. This time around it's EA's #1 fps shooter for the year..they're banking a lot on it. they'll take it serious

I think you missed "dont" in your title.

PB is the worst anti-cheat of all time. 90% of the time it punishes honest players by being generally useless, giving random errors or just kicking you for no reason.

then stop using hacks and lying about it. ;) (j/k)

No, PB isn't perfect, but it also depends on how closely the gaming firms works with the PB folks. Also, whether or not players update their PB files.

The clan I play with used PB and very successfully I might add. Everyone has bad ans good experiences with this kinda stuff and PB is one good solution. .. in MY experience.
