Petition to Bohemia Interactive to start using a real anticheat

[rinsa]

Hai~

As everyone might have heard, there have been massive bans today with BattlEye, the anticheat BIStudio uses for their servers. Oh yeah, no more hackers and cheaters !

Almost all of those bans that happened today never cheated, hacked or used any scripts on the game. Don't believe me ? Some people have been unbanned, I've been unbanned yeah, but got unbanned a few hours after this.

This is serious business, so, people from Bohemia Studio Interactive, may you stop using BattlEye anticheat and start using a better anticheat ? (I'm sure there are tons of good ones .. oh .. every anticheats are better than this BattlEye thing)
Thanks

Petition link removed because it calls the Developers n00bs and some other childish crap I won't even mention here.

Well I would trust the dev's on deciding what's the best anti-cheat software for their engine. Furthermore you completely fail to state why are other anti=cheat's better than said battleye.

This thread will fail pretty quick, without ANY evidence whatsoever why would be, for example, punkbaster any better

There's your problem.

There's a bunch of half-working programs, and then there's always-on DRM.

Your petition is as pointless as this thread is.

What is a real anticheat? And why is it better than BattlEye? What you're doing is starting a petition without showing any alternatives.

No matter what anticheat solution you take, there always will be problems. The perfect anticheat engine doesn't exist, else you would have named it. And obviously a lot of the people banned recently were actually banned for hacking and cheating, many of them even admitted it. So the "unreal" cheat engine obviously does what it should.

Besides that, I have removed the link to your petition which inlcudes a picture in which you call the Developers n00bs and childish crap I won't even mention here.
All of above shows that you can't be taken seriously at all. Maybe get some facts for your next petition so you don't appear like a 14y/o raging kid.

I personally never had any problems with Battleye, while the same cannot be said for other Anti-cheat programs such as Punkbuster, which kicked me from BF3 for having an opened ArmA2 Launcher.

Agreed. I've been kicked by PB before for having the Steam overlay enabled on a game I bought through Steam. BE has never kicked me for any bogus reason like that.

There is no anti-cheat that will detect every single hack. When you look at the overall picture, BE is doing a fairly reasonable job - most public hacks are detected pretty quickly. There are some changes BIS (not BE) could make, such as having an option to disable setVehicleInit (it was disabled in one of the betas), and to either disable the packet encoding OR have some kind of packet logging on the server. (Actually, a -pcap option that would save a pcap with decoded network traffic would be nice!)

I prefer Battleye over the other anti cheats. VAC is probably my second though I have heard there's no such appeals for VAC bans (which I thought was dumb when some dudes got banned for modding their Dead Island games) but that haven't happened to me. Punkbuster was horrible to me, I remember playing America's Army 2 and I would get PB kick out just because my game was alt tab for a bit and I came back in.

Hackers have the capability to retrieve other players GUID's and use them instead of their own, therefore allowing them to cheat without getting punished personally.
(OTHER PLAYERS GETS PUNISHED INSTEAD)

They are also able to DOWNLOAD server files such as the SERVER.CFG containing the RCON. (Yes, the server was messed up, people were super admins and other BattlEye stuff).
We changed ALL passwords, only to notice that the server owner were globally banned after connecting to his own server.

Coincidence? I think not.
I'll keep on playing as usual, but if I recieve a global ban, I am FORCED to use 3rd party programs to play the game I purchased.

Link removed, we do not allow linking to cheating websites!

I recommend you stop spreading these links and tools right now, else you end up being banned here as well!

And 2 of the 4 links you posted are related to DayZ. Interesting isn't it? How many "normal" ArmA2 players are hit by this.

No, before you come up with any false assumptions, I'm not ranting against DayZ but obviously there the most hackers and cheaters are gathering these days because they suck and the game is too hard for them. From all the cheaters I run into the past weeks and months, all were cheating at DayZ.

Yes, the server was messed up, people were super admins and other BattlEye stuff

That's surely not a problem of BattlEye but the failure of the server admin. If I have no knowledge how to run and administrate a server I better leave that to someone with the knowledge.

Because BE fails to stop most determined hackers. Open source=script hacks etcs....
