My theory on why the servers are so bad right now, and also a question...

October 3, 2020

Looking back at the whole radar fiasco, and now with blatant loot teleporting cheaters who are selling 30+ intels with a non EOD sub level 20 accounts, it has become clear to me that BSG is trying to do something against them and is why we are experiencing horrible server issues.

It would make sense to get all this server wonkiness out of the way before 12.8, but I have to ask this question...

What is it about EFT that makes all these crazy ass cheats available/work? I've never heard of loot teleport in any other games that are of this scale... ESP/Radar/Aimbot - sure CS paved the way for all that, but wtf is it with EFT and these weird cheats?

From throwing nades through walls, stretching gun barrels so they can shoot through walls that can't be shot through... like what is it? Can someone that knows what they are talking about make some sense for me? Is it because of UNITY or something else? I played CS original from beta 6.0 to CS:GO to PUBG to This game ... I have seen more innovative cheats for this game than any other games I've seen/played thus far.

They don't sign their executables. Atleast that's what I heard.

Unity is good for single player games but for online... Well, you see it....

Would you say that's fatal for the future of the game? Like are newer versions of Unity going to help with that?

I have no idea about that stuff tbh.

My excuses. What does "sign" mean?

Signed executable are executable that have been digitaly signed with a certificate.

Only BSG have the private key required to sign the exe, its a way of ensuring that an EXE has come from where it says its come from. Think of it a little like SSL for exe's, it helps you trust the authenticity of the exe.

No one else should be able to sign the EXE and pretend to be BSG

And to correct an incorrect assumption BSG do sign there EXE's

A signed EXE only means it has come from where is says its come from. To prevent some hacks they also use check summing and validation, as well as battleye. The checksum stuff can be gotten around fairly easily, the battleye stuff is where the anticheat really works.
