Hello players. Among the functions of illegal software that undermine a fair gaming environment, there are functions that also induce visual discomfort.
In today's Dev Letter, we intend to discuss the countermeasures we have taken and our future plans regarding the illegal software function known as the "terrain passing function, " which allows characters or vehicles to pass through physical boundaries and objects.
Illegal Software - Terrain Passing FunctionThe terrain passing function of illegal software grants cheaters an unfair advantage in the game by enabling them to pass through physical boundaries like doors, walls, and rocks that are impassable under normal circumstances.
This function significantly disrupts gameplay and also leads to visual discomfort.
When cheaters exploit this function to infiltrate objects and attack unsuspecting players outside, the targeted players feel helpless and vulnerable, akin to being attacked by an invisible man.
Witnessing cheaters effortlessly pass through objects understandably evokes strong displeasure among other players.
Due to its conspicuous nature, the terrain passing function has been reported by numerous players.
Recognizing its detrimental impact on game fairness, the PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS Team has undertaken various endeavors to combat it.
To be precise, two distinct measures were implemented from a game design perspective.
Firstly, defensive measures were put in place to rectify instances where characters or vehicles were positioned abnormally, returning them to normal positions.
Secondly, verification logic was incorporated to address cases of players shooting from inside the terrain towards targets outside.
In addition to this, we would like to share the latest improvements we have made concerning the implementation of the terrain passing function, as well as our accomplishments and future plans.
The implementation of the terrain passing function can be primarily categorized into two methods: code tampering and data tampering.
Code tampering method refers to modifying the game's code so that one can pass through terrain that is typically impassable.
Although PUBG's own anti-cheat solution, Zakynthos, already includes a feature that detects whether the code has been tampered with, there were limitations imposed on this feature to ensure optimal gameplay performance for players.
Data tampering method involves manipulating the game's data related to collision to allow players to pass through normally impassable terrain.
While there is a data verification logic for vehicles and characters, not every instance of tampering could be verified, as this data can be altered even under normal circumstances.
Nonetheless, despite the realistic restrictions and limitations, our dedication to combating illegal software remains unwavering.
We promptly initiated a search for solutions and opportunities for improvement.
Past Achievements and Future PlansTo begin with, we addressed the code tampering method by enhancing Zakynthos' code modulation detection feature.
