So according to amazon nvidia profiler is not cheating. Since its not external program they can detect. Issue is all top musket players are using this. It does not benefit any other weapon type since no other weapon can sit outside the range all enemies and no other weapon has hitscan system.
So muskets are allowed to see more and shot thorough object that for normal player do looks like cover: trees, rocks and so on.
This Software isnt easy bannable as its used for multiple reasons, only one beeing “cheating”.
As it directly modifies your driver libaries, you could even uninstall it with the modifications still be active.
Identifying those modded libs is neither easy as you’d have to grant EAC/New World literally GODMODE over your system, beeing something Nobody in their right mind would want, nor somewhat feaseable as such simple things like a driver update would also modify/alter those libs too.
The thing of hitting through cover has been considered a bug AGS is working on, as render distance shouldnt show that kind of behavior on a server-sided game.
Making the musket projectile having traveltime, other than fixing the render distance cover Bug, would be the one thing AGS realistically could do to circumvent the abuse of this kind of behavior.
Other than that, AGS could also suspend people for exploiting/cheating IF they can be provided with proof of violation. But this would only be possible if those who do this get caught on video from their perspective.
Everything else would boil down to hearsay/asumption and therefore wouldnt/shouldnt taken into account.
And higher fps is really important for musket. If a dodge gives immunity frame for 20 frames and I have 100 fps instead of 45. I notice the difference and seem to land more shots
Yea but you see more than any other player in game. So there is no good reason to do that. Plus you can set profiler anyway you want so it would benefit your fps but not give adventage over other players in game. But based on how ofted muskets do hit me when im behind rock or other cover im 100% sure this players are using it not to increase fps but to get adventage overt all other players.
So we can call it what it is: cheating.
If not, then we can allow aimbots to since they are: player’s personal assistant software.
I think it is cheating, but there is no way to be detectable/fixed. So the most obvious way to handle that would be to allow everyone to have access to it, even if you are amd
You can know the adavantage that it gets when the game bugs itselfs and removes the textures when flicking.
In Wars per example, sometimes I don’t know where the enemies were, then suddenly the game bugs and removes the textures for a couple seconds. Voala, now I know where they are coming
If that profiler makes my game look like crap, why bother using it? However, for those using it is cheating because if your range is able to hit and pass through objects, what’s the damn point in hiding
I don’t do wars so I cannot speak to increased vision in this mode. I do a lot of OPR though and I suggest you try it. Go play musket until you can get a 30 kill match. Then swap to the “runescape graphics” as I like to call them. There. Is. No. Advantage. I mean other than increased fps due to computer love.
AGS please optimize your game fix the 100% cpu usage that many of us see. As soon as I load new world my computer turns on every single fan.
For a long while I checked temps regularly to make sure it was not melting things
I want to go back to the regular graphics. But this way is obviously less stress on my computer and a big FPS advantage when using the hitscan musket.
If anything it removes skill particles and makes it harder to see ice shower and gravity well (grav well is seriously almost invisible). Flamethrower is invisible. herbs are hard to see. you cant even see any sort of wireweave silk or hemp. they are just invisble. If there is any advantage I’m not noticing it.
Please don’t classify this as cheating @Luxendra it makes the game run so much smoother for so many people.
The intent is to get an unintended advantage, so absolutely it should be considered cheating.
If they somehow handle it but people who have to adjust their graphics down to make the game playable are affected for PvP, then too bad. Blame the cheaters.
Having to catch cheaters and exploiters invariably hurts legitimate players.
Best solution – just delete PvP. It causes too many problems.
