I have a great anti-cheat device it's called the XBONE.


Actually like 90% of the reason I own a console is just for games that are at risk of cheating/low pop.

Cheating isn't even that rampant in PC games with good antihacker systems. Like CSGO with their prime matchmaking.

Yeah but the key there is the word "good". A lot of games have poor anti-cheat. Some don't have really have any.

I've had very little experience with online Ubisoft games (none, basically) but if I a lot of other people are worried I take that as a bad omen. If I had to guess on a scale from Blizzard (10) to From Software (0) I'd probably say they are around the rating of an EA(4-6).

Yeah it's reasonable to be worried with every online game. I'm not saying it won't happen but the internet has the tendency to freak the gently caress out over things they haven't experienced yet.

Game is not even out yet holy poo poo the game is going to be plagued by hackers because hackers exists and theres hackers in this other game and Angelina Jolie was a hacker in Hackers.

Maybe i'm biased but I'm personally on the side of let's see how things turns out.

They had a ''report hack'' button in the BETA, to me it means that theres something already in place. (and again I have absolutely no insight on whether they have one or not)

I don't think anyone is freaking out?

If I get the game it will be on console so I'm not worried about cheats. I think most of the others are just playing the angle "better wait and see, don't buy at release because cheats may be a problem" which is very reasonable imo. Especially when the developer has recent history with cheats being a problem.

People seem to be massively overestimating the likelihood that they will encounter cheaters. In my many years of playing online PC games, I think I've encountered cheats about 20-25 times MAX. Even if there is day one obvious cheating going on, it'll still be in a small minority of games, and you're probably pretty unlikely to see it very often. If you don't care what platform you get this on, then you are probably even less likely to play against cheaters on a console, but even on PC, I wouldn't let that factor into my decision making.

R6 Siege was brutal for awhile, but they brought in BattlEye and the experience has been amazing ever since.

Cmon man, it's never been THAT bad. There were ( and still are) some cheaters yes but the very nature of the game made it scream for bullshit.

Aside for the blatant one, It was super easy at one point to simply blame any death on hacks.

How many cheaters is "too many" cheaters is very subjective. I don't think anyone should be telling other people how often encountering a cheater is too much. For some people one cheater in a week is too much. For others they may have to see several in the same day to find it a big problem. Both point of views are ok.

Whatever the actual frequency of cheating, many people have decided there were too many cheaters in Siege. I can promise you they did not make this determination randomly. People do not randomly descend on specific games en masse and declare it vulnerable to hacks. And if a recent release by the same company did not meet their standards for cheat protection, how can anyone blame them for being wary of the next?

I've never played Siege, but I know it had an issue with cheats. I know this with certainty. And not because I read it here, but because I can read it anywhere. If just a few posters, or hell, the whole of the SA thread believed the game to have a cheat problem... well you could still explain that as a Thread Think. But anywhere on the internet where games are discussed there is talk of the issues Siege had with cheaters. That does not happen on accident. It does not happen because only tiny minority were affected. It happens for a reason, and it is valid when discussing Ubisoft games, especially as it is so recent.

It was pretty bad at launch lol. The part where you guys switched anticheats to something that actually worked kind of reinforces that narrative too :unsmigghh:

My biggest worry about p2p with For Honor is ddosing/the kind of fuckery that can happen with forcing disconnects. I'm not super competitive but I like to take my ranked queuing seriously and it's going to suck being subjected to that kind of cheese like in other fighting games.

CSGO takes a lot of steps to cut down on hacking, but its an ever present threat and problem. They have a whole program for letting reputable users review other gamers' game footage to determine if they've been cheating, and even at the highest level of pro play you get accusations of cheating and clear evidence of aim botting. So... yeah... about that.

Yeah I really don't care. I ran into a few cheaters in GTA Online, you just hop to another server. (Or maybe they give you free money lol)

This game is fun enough just as a co-op vs bots game, where I can play with my friends, if cheating is a big issue on random matches.

And I'm pretty sure you still get loot drops and contribute to the war effort / territory mode thing even when playing vs AI.

Feels like almost all Siege cheating accusations from goons are because the player making them sucks/the other player is good. Occasionally because of lag. Once in a blue moon, I've run into a hacker in Siege in a goon squad. You know because they headshot you and your entire team with a glock through a window 100 yards away.

I'd rather 1v4 a bunch of hackers eternally than listen to a bunch of nerds on mumble try to convince themselves an enemy player is hacking 'cause they can't handle the idea that they suck. Embrace the suck.

You should wait to quote me after release, once y'all can verify yourselves.
I'll make it clearer: some cheating might not be out of reach of some people in training mode, but it gets a whole lot harder once another actual player is in the same match. There's some pretty robust sanity checking happening with the other players. Cheating gets a whole lot harder when you need to cheat the other players too, especially if any particular client doesn't trust a whole lot about the other clients.

I don't think you actually know what you're talking about. This is a P2P server model, it'll be trivial(for the people who make a living on creating hacks) to inject code into. What proof do you have in regards to the sanity checking done? As far as I can see it's mostly client side. EAC is pretty easy to bypass based on the number of hacks available for other EAC protected games. Battleye is probably one of the only anti cheat systems that appears to work well.


There will 100% be people using auto script hacks for blocking/dodging (think Aimbotting in an FPS except for fighting games). There probably won't be ESP hacks since those would be next to useless in this type of game. You probably won't see hacks coming from AA or UC.

There's a lot of misunderstandings about the nature of how the peer to peer part of the communication between the pool of players is being used by the game. If everything was entirely peer to peer it might have been a lot easier to do cheaty stuff, but a lot of permissions are happening server side.
I can't offer proof. Things'll get a lot clearer on release.

As for auto blocking scripts though, yeah that might be a lot harder to stop 100%. Basically anything with plausible deniability. I'm talking mostly about overtly cheaty stuff like ridiculous stats or speed hacking.

You know thing about auto blockers and dodgers is you can still kill them. Like in mount and blade, the player using the hack usually sucks and you can easily punish when they try to attack. In for Honor's case parry their attack and gently caress their poo poo up after. Also I feel like people are gonna accuse anyone good at blocking of hacking.

It is good to know that highly overt cheating, which nobody was really worried about, is what you were talking about. Almost as comforting as knowing that artificial inputs like auto dodge/parry/whatever, which is much more likely and difficult to detect, is apparently not what you were talking about!

I'll ask you for proof on this again :)

When running the game you can see people directly connecting to you. It was trivial to dump a bunch of the communication happening between peers. There's stuff being offloaded to AWS instances.

Anyway this is a silly derail. Game is pretty fun as it is, we'll see how bad cheating will be.
