btw the joke is that Wine literally stands for “Wine Is Not an Emulator”

Are you telling me wine is not emulation?

Homework kid confirmed.

I feel like that last paragraph has been written about every generation in human history.

“used AI to detect a bug that they were using to crack consoles, and reported it to Sony for a bounty.” Wow, what a fucking loser. This was probably the kid who reminded the teacher that they forgot to assign homework.

It’s about time, but 4K @ 60 FPS USB Video Capture still hasn’t apologized for their problematic statements.

How does this compare to Helmarr?

I don’t know why “banned” was your first conclusion, though you didn’t mention what image you uploaded and I’m afraid to ask.

“But Minecraft already works on Wayl… oh…”

I think you’re overthinking it. You don’t need to render every skin. You just need a box that’s the maximum bounds for that player model. Again, we’re talking really low poly wireframes.

These bounds are standardized across every client, so the server already knows this information.

Games already do this with hurt boxes.

But the server is the authority on player location. It can tell if a player is visible to another because it knows their locations (as well as any obfuscations) at any given instant. It doesn’t need to know what they’re going to do next until it gets that next input from the client.

Obviously calculating this requires more work on the server’s part, but in smaller competitive matches this is totally doable. We’re talking basic wireframe vectors.

EDIT: Yall are really starting to convince me to make a proof of concept for this, because I’m convinced it can be done.

You don’t even need Lutris if you have Steam. You can install it directly through Steam by adding the Blizzard Launcher as a non-Steam game.

It helps that StarCraft, while somewhat relying on speed, is much more about strategy, meta knowledge, and real-time adaptation when your plan isn’t working.

That’s not something you can easily script, even with LLMs. That’s why the bot players have to use cheats at higher difficulties, because decent players outsmart them pretty quickly.

You can absolutely configure Linux to spoof the hardware it reports to a program.

Cheaters will do anything but actually get good at the game.

Wall hacks, yes. See my other comment:

This is definitely solvable, though. The server can only send the client location updates of players they should be able to see.

If someone tried to wall hack, they’d only see the last known location before line of sight was broken.

Giving the client that data at all is like playing Battleship side-by-side and telling the player not to look at the other board.

Aimbots are much more complicated, because the client is the authority on player inputs. Even things like latency and mouse movement can be subtly randomized by cheats to appear less robotic.

Now modern servers could dedicate each player their own CPU thread (except for maybe big battle royale servers).

Really? Tell me why.

I thought n’tsync was delayed because when I asked about the release, the devs said it’s gonna be May.
