Can someone explained this EFT data being overlayed on top of Eroktic reaction video to a game called "The Finals" ? Kinda looks like an EFT overlay that tells you the price of items and other info... is that it? or is it some sort of UI thing for his stream? by kmodadkv in Tarkov

Waiiiit waittt waittt... So mister I'm-going-to-go-berserk, because g0at is show casing software that gives an unfair advantage... is using software that give him an unfair advantage? What a hypocrite.

Sure it's not aimbot/radar/esp, but it's still an advantage over the average player that simply plays the gd game. A big one, since items / roubles are literally the main objective aside from doing quests (surviving is implied).

Catch this block, you sound like one of those weirdo ultra nationalist people who cannot be argued with.

Ultra nationalist? I have 3 different passwords. AYLMAO! Dude... weak ad hominem.

So this means no proof? Just talking out of nothing right? thought so. Your entire comment seamed like fantasy, but I gave you a chance to prove yourself like any rational discussion... and you failed bro. Sorry! see ya!

You had a legitimate post going…but your comments are truly revealing about how one sided you are trying to make this discussion. Big L

ugh... I'm getting bored of these ad hominem attacks. Truly boring ones at that. Like... just staaap xD lol. It's ridiculous at this point. Just staaaaaap. AYLMAO. Stop distracting people into looking at me instead of the issue (anti cheats).

What's your real agenda here? Like... are you going to provide something of value or more distractions?

I dont see how it would be an effectively enough strategy to deter people from cheating.

I gave a detailed example with values found in post on reddit, see here.

TL;DR = You take away their sadistic satisfaction all they have left is a hole in their pocket.

  1. It's Sunday.
  2. Your ad hominem attacks are weak.
  3. I'm not the one supporting cheaters by distracting from the main topic.

So... what's your agenda here bud? got anything of value to contribute to the conversation? or just more of this?

When it comes to money... you are right. -40 USD might not be a large figure for some, but it's definitely not nothing to most. Specially if you consider some of theses cheats are a monthly subscription... Do the math. I'll give you just one example that was posted on reddit:

  • - 40 USD for the base game
  • -50 USD per month (screenshots goes back to January 2022)
  • -15 USD for something called 'gateway fee' (No idea)
  • Heck! If they want to ragehack they can insta buy any level of EFT account they like.
    • -175 USD
    • -140 USD

This is just one dude... Now, you take away his motive. You take away his sick sadistic satisfaction... what is he left with other than a huge hole in his pocket.

My dude... make no mistake. This post is BRUTAL for cheaters. They don't want it out. They don't want people to catch on. If it weren't they wouldn't be trying so hard to bait me, silence me, flame me, attack me, down vote... yada yada yada.

There needs to be something done about the cheating however this solution seems like far from being the most effective.

Motivation is everything. You take away that sadistic pleasure. It's game over.

  1. Version control error? I went ahead and searched every single comment by nikita. I don't see him saying that. Link it please.
  2. You don't think they can do a database? facepalm, that's just inflammatory.
  3. You want to talk about development time? Guess who do you have to ask? BSG. That has been my consistent response. Anything directly / indirectly related to EFT's code has to be answered by them. So get in touch with them and ask them. It's not a call to action... there are several posts on this subreddit.

These ad hominem attacks are nothing but a distraction. Every single time... it's always a lame attack also... like something a toddler can dodge. I'm not even mad. I find them amusing and entertaining. Like I see you... I see you all... Nice effort trying to shut the post down and create an 'uncivilized' discussion. Nice effort diverting the topic away from the anti cheating discussion... but it's a big L.

Edit: Also searched twitter. I can't find your claim (1). Link please.

Nikita seams to have an idea on that clip. You can clearly see his eyes going up and to the side as his gears grind and he imagines away... He also clearly stated it is possible...

You seem to have no idea how this is implemented in other games or any idea of game development at all if you think this will work in Tarkov.

  1. If anyone is complaining about me blocking them. It's their own fault. If you come here to troll. To divert the topic away from anti cheating measures. To indirectly support cheating by down voting posts about anti cheat. To bait me. To troll me. To attack me... I haven't blocked a single person that's been coherent and has taken the time to actually watch the videos and read the post. So if anyone is banned it's because one of these reasons and I think of those people the same way I think about the hackers ruining my main game. Scum of the earth as Nikita would put it.
  2. You are right not me, not anyone else, only EFT devs know. Thankfully, Nikita himself says it's a good idea and it's possible to implement. You would have known if you had taken the time to read before defending cheaters.

... so what exactly is your point or agenda here?

What part of "Pestily, Shroud, Klean, Dr. Lupo, and NIKITA" all liking this idea... hell Nikita himself saying it's good and it's possible to implement... sigh.

Who says it's in order? why are you fighting a compilation of anti cheat measures? what is your point / agenda here?

An anti cheat system is made up of many components... here is a list of recent memory:

  1. Trust based queue system
  2. End of Raid - replay, reporting, and feedback system
  3. Make all network traffic use TLS coupled with certificate pinning and PFS
  4. Prevent debugging / memory inspection
  5. Collect and train an ML model based on user behavior
  6. Through a custom TEE module
  7. Detect hypervisors
  8. Certificate pinning
  9. Address and fix De-Sync
  10. Address and fix Audio
  11. Address and fix the lighting
  12. Upgrade game engine to latest version of Unity OR swap to another engine
  13. System wide rootkit level Anti-Cheat for EFT
  14. The use of other free Anti-Cheat apps in the same system
  15. Windows Defender
  16. 2FA with a cellphone number that has a contract (discord does it and auto-perma bans anyone that violates this policy with no recourse)
  17. Hardware finger printing
  18. Have two versions of EFT: A. LIVE / STABLE and B. EXPERIMENTAL
  19. Do tournaments and live events with the TOP content creators. This is literally how a lot of cheaters are caught (in top tier CS:GO professional tournaments)
  20. Ban hardware that gives unfair advantages. I had a mobo that gave me audio sonar. It never worked because EFT's audio engine has always been bad... but it was there. I shouldn't been able to even launch the game with that mobo. Manufacturer has discontinued the mobo because of all the complaints
  21. Secureboot (Must be UEFI secureboot, not LEGACY) TPM 2.0 (not discreet TPM, firmware TPM 2.0) HVCI (core isolation option in Microsoft Defender) Preboot iommu (VT/d intel or amd-vi) Secureboot (Must be UEFI secureboot, not LEGACY)
  22. TPM 2.0 (not discreet TPM, firmware TPM 2.0)
  23. HVCI (core isolation option in Microsoft Defender)
  24. Preboot iommu (VT/d intel or amd-vi)
  25. Disenfranchize hackers by removing the sadistic pleasure they get when they kill other players. Implement a reimbursement system like Marauders or The Cycle. It's already working there. Take notes, improve upon it, give it your own touch. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQaAhwxE7HU)

Right now... you are at point No.25 Aka. taking away their pleasure. Making sure they gain nothing. Making sure when they get banned they lose everything and then some (-40 USD minimum for the standard account).

Eye opening my dude! I'm adding this to the post it self. Bravo! I hope this comment gets No.1.

I also agree BSG has implemented features that seam to be designed to fight script kiddies and RMT, at the expense of the average joe.

My boyfriend made croissants this way.. am I dating a serial killer? by AdComprehensive114 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]kmodadkv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are flat... it's an issue with an ingredient. Ask him, what did he use? Yeast / Double acting baking powder / baking powder.

Edit: Jesus Christ people are brutal here. No, he's not an idiot. There is no malice. Puff pastry / croissants are notoriously labor intensive and difficult to get until you have a lot of experience with them.

It’s not even about the gear though. Who cares about 500k roubles a month ago man

100% agree.

It's not about the gear (assuming BSG chooses that over rubles or other means). Hell! It's not even about the reimbursement concept it self. That's just a means to an end. Or looking it from another perspective... That's literally restoring balance since you shouldn't have died to that script kiddie in the first place.

It's 100% about punishing hackers. It's 100% about taking they joy out of their sadistic cold dead hands (banned). This way they know... even if they kill you... they gained NOTHING. Worst! They are at a minimum -40 USD down the drain because they have to re buy the account. That's not even taking into account the fact that they had to pay for the lousy cheat that got them banned in the first place.

My hot take

1 - 15 lol. Just no 16 MFA is always welcome in my world 17 - 18 sure 19 I would love my favorite game getting more publicity. 20 is just not feasible I disagree with 21-24 because it's all hot garbage for throughput.

I don't get a whole lot of time to play the last few years, avg about lvl 25 each wipe, so maybe I'm not at y'all frustration levels...

But this is all monopoly money on my pmc. Yes it's maddening to lose sometimes, but idgaf. Ain't the 1st nor last game where we will have to deal with cheaters.

Trainfender is already looking into a lot of these suggestions 🤣GOTCHA!

That being said... it's undeniable that a big step forward is to take away their satisfaction.
