WallHack - i am not so sure how they doing that, i am not programmer or hacker, but i can guess its modification of game textures data.
Resolving this problem - resident program in RAM for watch over entire client datafrom any changing,
But cheaters can dont change game data on HDD, they can change it in RAM. Many ways.
But in most games this kind of anti-cheats - does not work well. Because its still possible to hack this resident programm or something in same way.
Cheaters on PC have full control over operation system where game client is running, full control over RAM and HDD. Its almost impossible to do real fine working anticheat system. Its need a lot endless efforts entire anti-cheat team - because cheaters will on one step forward from them. I doubt CCP have so much free people.
So you can resolve macroses problem, but other problems is impossible to resolve.
If game will classic client-server architecture - there will a lot of lags for people who had larger distance to this server.
If devs will use way like Dice in battlefield - where part of server functions delegated to client - its resolved most of lags, but cheaters will become real nasty, because there will have more thing to do and control. |

As example, in bf3 on PC a lot of cheaters, most of them are kids and use cheap cheats, its easy to detect, and their cheating is obvious for every one. People reported about them, and they got banned.
But bf3 have special anti-cheat system, entire team of programmers support it, and make new cheat detectable for this system. Same situation as with viruses and antvirus programs on PC.
But, even with that anti-cheat program - even stupid kid can use cheats, but not so long as they want.
But there exist other kind of cheaters, they paid enough money for personal cheat-programs. This kind of cheat programs is undetectable for years sometimes. And people who use this cheats is much more smarter than dumb kids cheaters.
They just set up their cheat-programs fine, and its impossible to recognize them. They seems like other top players. And their cheat is undetectable for auto-anti-cheat system. So even report about them wont help to ban them, because devs have no way to check this players.
I know guy who spent years to make his server defended from cheaters, even devs used his experience to improve their anti-cheat modules.
He even bought private cheats for testing how it work. And all his defence was useless against it. So he just kicked guys with good skill to make balance at least for average players like him.
In total he left PC as platform, because understood - his efforts is total useless on PC. So i met him on ps3, and he told me this story from his own experience. |

Unlike other games, where the loss of the game character does not mean anything, in this game, it is fatal.
In case with undetectable (by devs) cheats, and size of CCP team who work on shooter's part - here a big chance for years of succesfully cheating.
It not EVE, it is shooter. And free2play.
what will you do, when against your district will come band of aim bot users?
There will be only new characters with default gear, but you will do nothig against them, coz aim bot will kill you at sight.
Ok, they will get ban, probably, but you will lost much time, even if CCP will return this district to you.
And i think here is many ways, when new characters can made problems, because they are invincible because use cheats.
Even one character with aimbot can break corp battle. CCP will spent all the time to resolve all this problems by their hands, because auto anti-cheats system wont work effectively enough. |
