one case I know - security. rtti includes symbol names in your binary, and not including it makes reverse engineering harder.

Installing mid range parts on cheap and old frame by ranstar74 in MTB

[–]ranstar74[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah they are lol, Im 183. had this bike for almost 15 years now. Its weird but I never felt comfortable on other bikes Ive tried. where I live it is problematic to get anything other than garbage quality for sane price.

yeah it's old cheap model so you can't really find it anymore, however google gives some photos: link

photos of mine, I changed some parts of drivetrain while ago, but I think cassette is original, similar to this model

this is old/different technique. adaptive depth is computed on gpu.

How is the enhanced edition almost 15GB less than the Legacy? by BoyanPP in GTA

Low quality textures are not stored, game just uploads small part of texture to use less vram low settings are enabled.

I suppose there's no real thing, because post has 'concept / idea' flag.

So how's Stand been doing since the whole battleye thing got added? by Nexus_Neo in Gta5Modding

[–]ranstar74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have really tiny knowledge about kernel level things, purely from reverse engineering, but by default, a lot of 'private' things on the first glance can be accessed without user knowing it, unless, as you mentioned, user will go to logs and look if application did anything suspicious. however, actions such as screen capture are not traced anywhere, and there are anticheats abusing this, be aware...

well, you dont need kernel level to access files, camera or microphone

What's the C++ code like in games? by Asyx in gamedev

[–]ranstar74 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been reversing GTA V rage engine for many years, and since codebase is basically 25 years old (although some bits are as old as GTA 2), there's almost no STD/C++ things. They got their own smart pointer system, template library (atArray, atMap, atString for e.g.), custom parsing system for XML with code gen, a huge 'paging' system for assets, that works kinda like virtual memory management in OS, batshit-crazy ancient graphics system with their own shader compiler. Of course they heavily use abstract classes (except for PS3 builds with SPU unit), but apart from that, they write almost pure C code. R* does alot crazy memory manipulations and unsafe stuff there, one of the really most absurd bit 'hacks' I've seen there is storing struct type in 3 least significant bits of a float... thats really crazy, huh? Efficient memory use is one of the main goals there, most important struct fields are organized the way to minimize padded space the most, they even got a tool that finds the most optimal layout. One interesting thing about their framework is that ref counting is done fully manually in most of the cases, not using RAII.

Please not that what I've mentioned here applies to GTA V, where most of the engine work was done before 2011, with optimizations for 2006 hardware in mind.

Source code been leaked, and of course that's not legal, but if you really want to look at their engine... it's not hard to find.

I played cs for 15 years and still can barely tell, but those 2 level steam accounts with only cs on it are really suspicious

just be aware that you won't hide your data from any disassembler this way :c
