As I said before, I still think that Crytek never worked on anti-cheat prior to this game's release. I think they've planned on creating the anti-cheat system after it's release due to time restraints for a while now. So, this means they're developing it as we speak, and hoping they have something that is effective as soon as possible. I don't know anything about anti-cheat programming, but it seems that it may take a while before they figure out how to get it to work properly. Chalk it up as if you purchased a single player game, and perhaps sometime this summer a patch will be released that allows you to play it online!

To be fair, with the piss poor job they did stopping cheating in the first place and over all multiplayer experience for PC I wouldn't put it past them to ban people that don't deserve it. Sure actual hackers will claim injustice but I wouldn't be surprised if there was actual injustice.

Exactly what I was thinking, and for the same reason. Call me a pessimist, but considering all the problems that C2 has, I'm starting to wonder if Crytek has the time and resources needed to make the game what it should have been upon release. This is a fiasco.

A pessimist is what an optimist calls a realist.

That's probably exactly what they've done. Sadly, though, that's the thinking of a company that is only out to get money. The fact that the hacking has been so bad has probably made many people quit and many more (myself included) seriously consider stopping. As far as EA/Crytek is concerned though though don't give a ****, they already got my money so they can take as long as they want because me leaving doesn't cost them anything.

By the time they DO figure their **** out and finally get some working anti-cheat system in place a new FPS will be out for other people to play. Crytek and EA seem to be trying to convince us that PC gaming is dying by doing as little work as possible hoping we'll eventually just stop asking them for PC versions.

True, but just imagine the scenario if Crytek released Crysis 2 and it was the monster everyone was expecting. If the multiplayer was secure, and the bugs ironed out properly via beta. If it was directx 11 from the start and virtually melted powerful gaming machines. All the buzz and Crytek would have totally BANKED off of it. Instead of doing alright, they had the potential of doing amazing.

Played a few games and the gameplay seemed a bit more "light" in terms of cheaters per square meter.

Yes. It seems like they're are fewer had but they're still there. Maybe the patch will address the local file "tweak" people are doing in notepad.
I wouldn't be surprised if this is the only thing they've fixed so far. I imagine having it not load external files would be significantly easier than stopping some of the injection hacks that are around.

And with their track record so far my guess is they're going the easiest way possible.

Yeah but looking at their older posts and everything else that's not how they'll spin this.

They'll spin it as "We made this game, we tried really hard guys, but the game got leaked early because of pirates and that let them hack the game. We're sorry hackers ruined it for everyone. Bye guys see you on consoles"

Crysis 2 did just fine. You're delusional http://www.destructoid.com/crysis-2-huge-success-xbox-360-dominates-sales-197396.phtml

Apparently the figures they are referring to in that article don't include Digital Download sales making them effectively useless for gauging PC sales.

Ugh I want to punch that guy in face...

Plus, most people bought this game under the pretense that it was going to be some kinda strain on their rigs like the first 2 installments, and that it was actually going to continue on the story of Crysis and Warhead in a, making sense sorta way, only to be thoroughly let down.

Which means it sold even better than the article implies. Thanks for proving my point... Crysis 2 sold a ton of copies.

I bought it under the pretense that there would be anti-cheat measures in place so I could play multiplayer and actually enjoy it.

Looks like they missed the mark on all counts.

Anti-cheat doesn't work.

Seriously, they need to resolve the problem, There's almost a cheater on every time.......

Why, because they haven't caught you?

A quote from a hacking forum about the new update:

It feels like they are trying to fix it but failed.

I do not see a difference, as they were cheaters are so precisely was their third on the server
Bravo Crytek: <

They're in the process of updating so maybe bear with it and let it roll? All that ranting is not gonna solve your problem. There will be more updates. I wouldn't worry. There were at least 2 cheaters in one server i played but after a friend of mine whose a IGN writer saying he would contact crytek about this and get their accounts blacklisted too, they left in a heartbeat and yes he does write for IGN.

Crytek's servers need time to finish the security thing. I bet they still fixing it. So far i got to play a server for 2 hours with no cheater at least.

Only caught one joined and he had only stealth unlimited and cloak and nanovision. No aimbot though. Still lame but at least i kick his butt.

The main thing here... is how long it's taking them to do "one" simple thing I know god forbid it's taking a few days but seriously not having an anti cheat built in the first place is just.. i don't even know how i can express how **** "STUPID" that is.


The game is literally unplayable for me right now, Every single server that i join there is "atleast" 1 hacker

I thought ... well since i have all the guns i'll just play custom now.... so i join a custom server with no exp.... guess what? More hackers

Grrrrr, this update did not work for shiit. Please keep up with the anticheat hax protectoin and RELEASE A ADMIN TOOL!!!

It is unbelievable annoying to have a hacker on ones server and with no admintools or administrative options, seeing how people get annoyed and then leaving the server.

PLEASE GIVE US SOME ADMIN TOOLS,
properly administrated servers > crytek's anticheat

The problem is, though, that the longer it takes the more people get discourage and stop playing which means finding a working server that isn't full or empty will be that much harder.

The issue is this stuff should have existed when the game came out, but didn't. There are a number of anti-cheat systems out already that they could have latched on to, but they didn't.

There's still the non-hacking cheaters who just modify their XML. I punched a speeding one in the face and shot him other numerous times. Felt good man.

I'm lvl 24 now and so far I have noticed only one cheater, who was doin a spawninstantkillcheat whatsoever..

am I blind or where the hell are those cheaters??

Well, I played 3 rounds in a row and nobody with cloaking and nanovision enabled at once strafed me at superspeed and meleed me to death, so I'm saying "so far so good"
