Chapter 456: A flood of plug-ins?

Views:

Chen Mo tapped on the table lightly.

"First, quickly screen through the in-game mechanism. Any accounts with abnormal headshot rate, shooting accuracy, and various data increases in the near future will be frozen first."

"There are various death replays in the game, as well as highlight highlights. The customer service personnel are given relevant permissions to manually review these reported accounts. Anyone who does not operate like a normal person will be frozen."

Su Jinyu nodded: "Okay, I'll make arrangements now."

Zheng Hongxi asked: "Is the freezing a permanent seal?"

Chen Mo shook his head: "No, it's temporarily frozen. As for whether to permanently seal it or not, it depends on the follow-up situation. Also, the registration function of "Overwatch" is temporarily closed, and no new accounts can be added for at least three days. "

Qian Kun hesitated and said, "This is not enough, store manager? Now our Thunder game pass is bound to the ID card."

Chen Mo's attitude is still firm: "Temporarily shut down. There are many online sellers of ID card information. If you want to buy, you can buy a lot of ID card information, which is not safe."

"Okay." Qian Kun nodded, "But the store manager, these are not long-term solutions. It feels like they are treating the symptoms rather than the root cause."

Chen Mo nodded: "Yes, I know. I have already asked the gaming committee, and they said they are investigating and will give an answer soon. During this period, use manual review to try to minimize the impact of this matter. Take control."

Soon, everyone went to work on their own.

Chen Mo was also very surprised by the outbreak of cheating.

Because fps games are also considered popular game types in the parallel world, "Wolf Soul" and "Fire Assault" have been in operation for several years, and they have never heard of such a large-scale cheating.

The parallel world is different from Chen Mo's previous life. Due to the more advanced technology and the official organization such as the Game Committee regulating the market order, cheating in previous fps games has basically been eliminated. Even if there are some players who use cheating, They were also quickly banned, without causing any major disturbances.

In the parallel world, although the fps game has been transferred from the pc platform to the vr platform, the principle of the game is still the same. When shooting, in order to ensure the game effect, some data must be stored and calculated on the client side, which gives some plug-ins Chances of tampering with data.

Therefore, whether it is in the previous life or in the parallel world, fps games are the hardest hit areas for cheating. Although the specific cheating methods and techniques are completely different, the principles are similar.

On the VR platform, there are two ways for players to cheat.

One is to crack the client data through a special program, that is, to read and tamper with the hidden content of the game through special means to achieve effects such as perspective and self-aiming. This is equivalent to a cheat from a previous life.

The second is through some auxiliary equipment. Because players in VR games control the field of view and shooting direction through ideas, some special auxiliary equipment can help players complete some special operations.

For example, a player has clumsy hands and slow reaction, and only has a 30% hit rate when shooting; after using auxiliary equipment, this auxiliary equipment can replace the player's original intention signal with a more correct intention signal, thus Let his reaction be faster and his hit rate higher.

This auxiliary device is somewhat similar to the mouse macro in the previous life. It will not tamper with the data of the game client, but will only modify the player's operation, so that he can perform some high-level operations more easily and without thinking, which is equivalent to forcibly improving the player's level. .

In the parallel world, plug-ins have been basically eliminated before, mainly because of technical reasons.

On the one hand, it is more difficult to crack the game. On the other hand, a relatively complete inspection mechanism has been established in the game. Once the client data is abnormal, an alarm will be automatically triggered. After verification, the account in question will be automatically frozen investigation.

All game companies have always cracked down on cheating. Under the buyout threshold of one or two thousand vr games, once the cheating is verified, it will be permanently banned. By the way, even the ID number of the account will be blacklisted by the upstream committee.

Of course, those who actually cheated did not use their own ID cards, but even so, the cost of cheating is relatively high.

Therefore, although the previous fps games also had cases of cheating, they were far from reaching the level of flooding.

However, after the outbreak of cheating this time, players were surprised to find that none of the previous mechanisms seemed to have any effect

The inspection mechanisms of the three games "Overwatch", "Wolf Soul" and "Fire Assault" have not detected abnormal client data. Find out if they are hooked up.

In other words, this is a brand new plug-in.

The gaming committee is also investigating this matter. After the technical staff's investigation results came out, the gaming committee notified Chen Mo immediately.

Obviously, this kind of plug-in technology temporarily surpasses that of the fantasy editor, and it does not modify the client data.

Chen Mo is very clear that the parallel world is still in the midst of a technological explosion. Various domestic and foreign technologies are rapidly iterating. Sometimes it feels that technological development has stagnated, but a new technology may suddenly emerge at any time.

Obviously, this plug-in is one of the derivatives of the new technology.

Technological progress has made the means of preventing cheating more sophisticated, but the method of making cheating will also become more sophisticated. After a certain technological innovation, this brand-new plug-in spread rapidly, and quickly spread from abroad to China.

According to the game committee's speculation, it should be a certain foreign technological breakthrough that was used by the developers of the plug-in, so they developed auxiliary equipment for fps games currently on the market.

This auxiliary device can modify the players' mind signals to a certain extent. Due to the high level of technology and no tampering with the client data, the in-game inspection mechanism did not trigger an alarm.

If you want to solve this kind of cheating once and for all, you have to wait for technicians to crack it and update the checking mechanism in the game.

As for when will the in-game inspection mechanism be updated? The Gaming Committee does not have a very accurate time. After all, this kind of cheat is brand new for technicians and needs time to study.

Before that, the only way to control the spread of these cheats is to rely on the game companies themselves.

Dynasty Huyu and Zen Huyu are also passing manual emergency checks, and all players who are suspected of cheating will be frozen.

When the system's inspection mechanism fails, if you want to tell whether a player has cheated or not, you can only use the stupid method of "manual review".

Of course, once verified, the ID numbers bound to these players' accounts will also be blacklisted, and the ID numbers will no longer be able to register for any fps games.

However, this does not play a big role, because more than 90% of the players who actually cheat do not use their own ID cards.

On the Internet, there are many gray channels and ways to buy ID card information. There are 1.3 billion people in China, and there are only tens of millions of players who play fps games. Buy various identity information and register multiple accounts.

Some people don't even know that their identity card information has been stolen.

Therefore, it is not feasible to use ID cards to convict at present, and the only way to increase the cost of some hackers is to block ID numbers.
