Chapter 452: Chapter 451-overflow of external cheats?

Chen Zhao tapped the table lightly.

“First, we’ll quickly screen through the game’s mechanism. All accounts with abnormal recent head shot rate, shooting accuracy, and various data increases will be frozen first.”

“The game has replays of all sorts of deaths and highlights. Give the customer service staff the relevant authority to manually review the accounts that have been reported. Freeze all the accounts that are not operated by normal people.”

Su Jinyu nodded.”Alright, I’ll go arrange it now.”

“Is frozen an eternal seal?” Zheng Hongxi asked.

Chen Zhao shook his head.”No, it’s temporarily frozen. As for whether it’s permanently sealed, it’ll depend on the situation.” Also, close the registration function for Overwatch temporarily. No new accounts can be added for at least three days. ”

Qian Kun hesitated,”I don’t think so, manager?” Our Thunderbolt Game Pass is now bound to our id. ”

Chen Zhao’s attitude was still firm. There are a lot of people who sell ID data on the internet, and those who want to buy it can buy a lot of it. It’s not safe. ”

“Alright,” he said. Qian Kun nodded,”but manager, these aren’t long-term plans. I feel like they’re just treating the symptoms but not the root cause.”

Chen Mo nodded,”yes, I know.” I’ve already asked the game Committee, they’re still investigating and will give us a reply soon. During this period, we’ll first use the manual review method to control the impact of this matter as much as possible. ”

Very quickly, everyone went off to do their own things.

Chen Mo was also surprised by the cheat’s explosion.

As FPS games were considered a popular genre in the parallel world, Wolf Soul and raging inferno assault had been in operation for a few years, but no one had ever heard of such a large-scale hack.

Parallel world was different from Chen Mo’s previous world. Due to the advanced technology and the game committee’s regulation of the market, most of the cheats in previous FPS games had been banned. Even if there were a few players who used cheats, they were quickly banned and didn’t cause much of a stir.

In the parallel world, even though FPS games had shifted from PC to VR, the game’s principles were still the same. During shooting, some data had to be stored and calculated in the game’s client to ensure the game’s effect, which gave some external cheats the opportunity to tamper with the data.

As such, be it in the previous world or the parallel world, FPS games were the most popular games for cheating. Although the specific cheating methods and techniques were completely different, the principles were similar.

There were two ways for players to cheat on the VR platform.

The first was to crack the client’s data through a special program, which meant to read and tamper with the game’s hidden content through special means to achieve the effect of x-ray vision and self-sight. This was equivalent to the plug-in in in in in his previous life.

The second method was to use some auxiliary equipment. Since the players in VR games controlled their vision and shooting direction with their minds, there were some special auxiliary equipment that could help the players complete some Special Operations.

For example, if a player’s hands were clumsy and his reaction time was slow, he would only have a 30% hit rate when he shot. After using the auxiliary equipment, the auxiliary equipment could replace the player’s original thought signal with a more accurate thought signal, which allowed him to react faster and have a higher hit rate.

This kind of auxiliary device was similar to the mouse Hong in his previous life. It would not tamper with the data of the game client, but would modify the player’s operation, so that he could play some high-level operations more easily and mindlessly, which was equivalent to forcibly improving the player’s level.

In parallel world, hacking had been basically banned, mainly due to technical reasons.

On the one hand, cracking the game had become more difficult. On the other hand, the game had established a more comprehensive inspection mechanism. Once the client data was abnormal, an alarm would be automatically triggered. After verification, the problematic account would be frozen for investigation.

Every game company had always been strict on hacking, and with VR games that could easily be bought out for one to two thousand RMB, any cheating that was found out would be permanently banned, and even the account’s ID number would be blacklisted by the game Committee.

Of course, those who really used hacks didn’t use their own ID cards, but even so, the cost of hacks was relatively high.

Therefore, although there were cases of external hacks in previous FPS games, it was far from the extent of widespread.

However, after the outbreak of external hacks, the players were surprised to find that the previous mechanisms did not seem to have any effect.

The inspection mechanism of Overwatch, Wolf Soul, and raging inferno assault did not detect any abnormality in the client’s data. Although the data of these players who cheated was obviously abnormal, the system did not have any warning, so it could not judge whether they were cheating or not.

In other words, this was a brand new cheat.

……

The game Committee was also looking into the matter, and they notified Chen Mo as soon as the technical staff came back with the results.

Clearly, this external modification technology had temporarily surpassed the illusion game editor’s technology, and it didn’t change the client’s data.

Chen Mo knew very well that the parallel world was still in a state of technological explosion. Various domestic and foreign technologies were undergoing rapid updates. Sometimes, it felt like the development of technology had stagnated, but a new technology might suddenly appear at any time.

Obviously, this hack was one of the derivatives of the new technology.

The improvement in technology had made the anti-cheat methods more advanced, but the methods of making cheats had also become more advanced. After a certain technological revolution, this new external modification quickly spread from abroad to China.

According to the game committee’s speculations, it was likely that some foreign technological breakthrough had been used by the external developers to develop auxiliary equipment for FPS games on the market.

This auxiliary device could modify the player’s mind signal to a certain extent. Due to its high level of technology and the fact that it did not tamper with the client’s data, the inspection mechanism in the game did not trigger an alarm.

If he wanted to solve this problem once and for all, he had to wait for the technical staff to crack it and update the inspection mechanism in the game.

When would the in-game inspection mechanism be completed? The game Committee didn’t have an exact time, after all, this hack was new to the technical staff and needed time to research.

Before that, the game developers could only rely on themselves to control the spread of these cheats.

Emperor dynasty entertainment and ZEN Entertainment also went through an emergency manual check and froze any players who were suspected of cheating.

With the system’s inspection mechanism failing, the only way to tell if a player was cheating or not was to use a stupid method like a “manual review.”

Of course, once it was verified, the ID number bound to these players ‘accounts would naturally be blacklisted, and the ID would no longer be able to register for any FPS game.

However, this did not have much of an effect, because more than 90% of the players who really cheated did not use their own ID card.

On the internet, there were many gray channels and channels that could buy ID information. There were 1.3 billion people in the country, and the number of players who played FPS games was at most in the tens of millions. Those players who cheated could buy all kinds of ID information on the internet and register multiple accounts.

Some people didn’t even know that their ID information had been stolen.

Therefore, it was not feasible to convict someone with an ID card at the moment. The only way was to block the ID number and increase the cost of cheating.
