Chapter 818 Anti-Cheating System

As the popularity of the game increases, the number of players using cheats in [Extreme Survival] has also increased a lot. Now, the game background receives more and more emails from players reporting cheats.

There are both true and false in this.

Some people are just bad at playing and when they are killed instantly by others, they say that others are using cheats.

Some are real plug-ins.

Therefore, it is a huge project to distinguish plug-ins now.

"We have zero tolerance for players who cheat. Once we find out, we will ban their accounts. But there are still so many people cheating."

Wei Yan heard Fang Chang's words and spoke in confusion.

"Although we have zero tolerance, there are policies from above and countermeasures from below."

"Cheaters have started to appear in the game now. Simply put, the boss spends money to hire cheaters to join his team and let the cheaters use abilities such as perspective, but he does not use them."

"In this case, it is very difficult to distinguish. No matter how you check, the boss is not cheating, and the person who is cheating does not care whether he will be banned or not."

"Some cheats are developed specifically for our [Extreme Survival], and they are very concealed when used. The people who use those cheats are also very strong, but they just use the cheats to assist them. It is very difficult to distinguish them."

"........"

Fang Chang talked helplessly about the current situation of cheating encountered in [Extreme Survival].

Since the beginning of the year, the chances of cheats appearing in [Extreme Survival] have gradually increased, which is a very dangerous signal.

If it cannot be stopped in time, the reputation of [Extreme Survival] will be severely damaged.

Is that so?

Wei Yan fell into deep thought after hearing this, and slowly raised his head after a while.

"I remember that the account of [Extreme Survival] is registered with a mobile phone number. One mobile phone number can register an account."

"Yes!"

Fang Chang nodded, this is the method of registering an account in most games currently.

"I think we can start with registering an account. Now those players don't worry about the reason for the account being blocked. It's nothing more than this account being blocked. So they can just change their mobile phone number."

"For those who cheat, the cost of having their account blocked is too low. It's nothing more than changing their phone number."

"If we want to reduce the chances of cheating, we need them to be more concerned about getting their accounts banned."

Wei Yan spoke slowly.

If you want those who cheat to have concerns, you need to let them know that if they are caught cheating, the punishment they will face is something they don’t want to face.

"Boss Wei, I know this, but how do we change it?"

Fang Chang gave a bitter smile.

He knows this truth, so he has always had a zero-tolerance attitude towards cheating.

But even so, there are still many people cheating.

"It's very simple to change. Since the cost of creating a new account is very low, we can increase the cost, or make it impossible for them to create many accounts."

"You need to register your real name to register an account. We can add a limit to the number of mobile phone number registrations. Each ID card can register a maximum of 2-3 accounts. If these 2-3 accounts are all banned, then even if you change multiple mobile phone numbers, as long as you bind this ID card, you will not be able to register a new account."

"After the first account of this person was blocked, the second account was also specially marked for special observation, and a game time limit was set."

"After the first account is blocked, the second account registered with the same identity will be limited to a certain amount of time per day. The shortest time can be one hour. If the account performs well and does not cheat or violate other rules, the time limit can be extended little by little, 2 hours, 3 hours... until it returns to normal."

Wei Yan said this and took a sip of the tea.

"This is just my personal opinion. As for whether it can be implemented or how to implement it, it is up to you to judge."

When Fang Chang and Zhao Bowen heard Wei Yan's story, they looked at each other with expressions of surprise.

"Boss Wei's suggestion is very good and can be implemented."

Fang Chang looked very happy.

"Yes, I suddenly thought of a good plan, which is to design a login platform, and then put all our Cangxue Games games on this login platform."

"Then players only need to register a real-name account on this platform, and then they can switch to any game on the platform at will through this platform, without having to log in again every time they log in to a game."

"This is very convenient, and if a player is detected cheating in any game, the account will be directly banned, and all games on the platform will not be playable."

"This can also increase the risk of being banned for cheating to a greater extent. After the account is banned, all other games associated with the account will also be banned. In this case, the cheater will need to consider more things."

Zhao Bowen said excitedly.

“This is a very good proposal. For ordinary players, this login platform will be much more convenient. It can also increase the punishment for those players who cheat.”

Fang Chang nodded in agreement.

"But now there is another kind of cheating mode, that is, the cheating mode. The account owner himself does not cheat, but finds a few teammates who cheat."

"This is more difficult to judge. It is impossible to ban everyone in a team just because someone is cheating. There are also many randomly matched passers-by who are assigned to the team with cheats."

"If this is the case, then we can only increase the cost of testing."

Wei Yan thought for a moment and spoke slowly.

"I can implement an inspection mode. When I detect that someone in the team is cheating, I can mark those who are not cheating and focus on observing them."

"If the opponent hasn't joined a team with cheats for a long time, then we can basically judge him as an ordinary player."

"If the frequency of the other party matching with a cheating team is very high, which is higher than the probability of encountering a cheating team in a normal random match, then it can basically be determined that they are the kind of situation you just described."

"Of course, in this case, we still need to carefully verify and record each of their games to avoid wrongful bans."

Fang Chang nodded after hearing Wei Yan's story.

Although this method has certain uncertainties in accuracy, it can at least screen out the existence of some trailers.

But there is also a situation where the person only looks for the trailer once and then never looks for it again.

In this case, there is no way to distinguish them using the method he just used.

However, this is just one time cheating and will not have much impact on the overall gaming environment.

So this is the most practical method at present.

Moreover, when a better anti-cheating system is introduced, the system will be able to more accurately detect the existence of plug-ins and solve the problem from the root.
