Idea - Open Source Anti Cheat

[amitnos123]

I’d like to get your opinion on creating an anti-cheat system, or at least a shared base library for anti-cheat functionality.

This question comes up because many modern games rely on some form of anti-cheat, and it might be useful to explore whether a common foundation makes sense.

I’d also be happy to help with this effort, although I don’t have prior experience developing anti-cheat systems or doing low-level OS-related coding.

I think the biggest problem, beyond just the normal issues that any client-side anti cheat has, would be getting game developers to actually use this. Especially when BattlEye, VAC, and EAC all support Linux in one way or another.

A more impactful thing for the OGC to do might be to try and steer developers toward server side anti-cheat and server-authoritative netcode which would not require any anti-cheat on the client.

Thank you for the response.

I do agree on steering developers toward server side anti cheat.
Example of a way to bypass client side anti cheat, is capturing the video from main PC and running an AI program or a like on another computer. Can be auto aim, highlight or a like.
The idea came from MSI new monitor with AI.
