Warzone Devs Challenge Cheaters; End of Multi-accounting?
The creators of CoD: Warzone announce a ruthless fight against cheaters with a new anti-cheat. Within one day over 100 thousand accounts were banned and it seems that cheaters will not be able to create new ones so easily.
- Developers of CoD: Warzone announced on Twitter a ruthless fight against cheaters with a new anti-cheat;
- Everything seems to indicate that the new security feature bans all accounts on a cheater's computer and even changing the ID won't be able to fool it;
- The last wave of bans shot down over 100k accounts in one day.
We are witnessing another episode in the battle between the developers of CoD: Warzone and the cheaters plaguing the servers of Activision's game. Recently we reported on the introduction of an update to existing security, which was not limited to banning a single account, and all accounts associated with a particular cheater. This solution seemed to work, but only until the moment when somebody found a solution - then everything returned to the "norm". But perhaps not for long.
It seems that the developers will bring out the heavy guns in the form of a new system, of which they boasted on Twitter, while threatening both cheaters and rogue software developers. Perhaps now something will actually change, especially since more than 100,000 accounts were banned in a single day, and the developer's attack also affected "source" vendors.
We now know with almost 100% certainty that Raven Software will use a "hardware ban" which will prevent cheaters from creating more accounts from the same computer. As we mentioned earlier, such a protection was circumvented by changing the device's ID.
Apparently, this gap has been patched by Activision, which can be seen in the video of tiktoker rushman360. Influencer recorded short video of matches Warzone during which he was cheating. Two days ago he announced that all his accounts had been banned, but after changing his computer ID he was able to continue playing without any problems. Now, as tiktoker shows, even a name chang is not able to fool the anti-cheat.
"Soon there will be no cheaters in this game at all. Congratulations to Activision," said rushman360 with appreciation.
Of course, you can not base everything on the words of a single influencer, but his videos, along with the confidence beaming from the tweet of Warzone devs may indicate that the scales of victory in this fight are slowly tipping towards the side of honest players. Unless it turns out that the cheaters are again a few steps ahead.
