Suggestion: Add warning about possible anti-cheat issues in the coming soon MP anti-cheat update #4

Closed WinkelCode closed 5 years ago

My suggested text:

Warning: This modification may be detected as a cheating tool and/or considered an "unfair advantage" (due to the increased field of view) by the new Ace Combat 7 anti-cheating measure going live at the end of August.

The developers have stated that anti-cheat measures won't affect single player mods so we highly recommend not playing online with it installed until we have more information.

You can find more details at: https://service-en.bandainamcoent.eu/app/detail/a_id/4820/m/ACE%20COMBAT%207:%20SKIES%20UNKNOWN/t/Anti-Cheat%20FAQ/p/7312

I've opened a ticket with Namco to see if they know whether or not the anticheat system will flag this mod.

In the meantime, I will add this warning to the script and have the user indicate their acceptance before continuing. I may also write a "disable" script to remove the mod so that people can still play online with relative ease.

When the anticheat launches, if Namco hasn't responded, then I'll try to play online myself with the mod in place and see what happens. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. :)

Warning added. Leaving this issue open so I can investigate the anticheat when it goes live.

Anti cheat is fully enabled and first ban wave rolled out https://steamcommunity.com/app/502500/discussions/0/1635291505016487344/

Edit: Script and shaderfixes seem to work fine on the new version

I've entered a couple of MP lobbies with no issue yet... I'll have to continue testing tomorrow.

WinkelCode commented 5 years ago

Were you already playing online before the ban rollout?

massimilianodelliubaldini commented 5 years ago

Nah, after. We may have to wait and see if I show up in a later one.

WinkelCode commented 5 years ago

I got a reply from Bandai Namco support:

Seems like it's ok to use!

massimilianodelliubaldini commented 5 years ago

Sweet! Thank you!
