Geez, for a week that stated out really crappy, this is turning out
to<br>
just get better and better.<br><br>
Some seem to be in the know here. Is there anything out there<br>
that describes the way this works at a reasonable level?<br>
Because you know the cheat/Hack developers are going to<br>
go through this with a electron microscope. ;-)<br><br>
If it looks at Direct-X it still is quite complex given what
direct-X<br>
does, and the differences between say 9.0c but users that<br>
default to 7.X because their GPU's are not 9.0 compatible.<br>
(Ex. I have Geforce FX5950us. They run 7.X compatibility).<br><br>
So certain routines are not used in hardware, but can still<br>
be enabled in software. Seems to me, the method John mentions<br>
is simple in concept, but is likely complex. I don't know, I
am<br>
guessing. But sure wish there was some basic info.<br><br>
Then again, no one knew much about punkbuster until the<br>
cheat/hackers ripped it apart to develop cheats to get around it.<br>
Now how it works in general is pretty common knowledge.<br><br>
I am just happy as a pig in s***! (Uh that is slop!) ;-)<br><br>

<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite>I don't think the system Garetjax
is working on works that way. It blocks<br>
changes to the DirectX code, so that the cheats can't work. It does
not try<br>
to identify cheaters, as such. It just stops them. Since he
is a member of<br>
this group, he can probably explain it a bit better, unless he is under
and<br>
NDA. I do know that he was scheduled to deliver a working copy to
ATVI last<br>
Friday.<br><br>

Where is his site? How will they honor the bans? Will there be a site
<br>
compariable to
<a href="http://www.punksbusted.com/" eudora="autourl">www.punksbusted.com</a>?<br>
Example: If I get banned because of a program I had running in the <br>
background... how would I go about defending myself and getting the ban
<br>
removed?<br><br>
Anyone know?<br><br>
