I do love how nearly every AAA multiplayer game has a deeply rooted in your system anticheat, yet fails to do some basic server 'input sanitization'. Like this man has been spinning at a gagillion RPM, moving faster than than character speed limit and is going through coordinates that are clearly walls, "seems good to me, everything is working as intended" says the server
Getting people permanently banned isn't exactly funny. What would be funny is if COD ended up with no players because their anti-cheat is so stupid that it banned them all.
It's dick behaviour but it also never should've been possible. The financial liability for this imho is Activision's fault, because this isn't a 'could happen to anyone' issue. It is the product of negligence AND an insufficient appeal system with human overview. Companies are not entitled to fully automated product aftercare. These bans should have been minor temporary inconveniences at most.
A server-side anticheat incurs unwanted costs to the game publisher. Hence: horrible local spyware-enabled anticheats.
Banning without appeal should be punishable...
If it wasn't for this person making a stink about this issue, it could've gone months without being addressed, leading to many people being permanently banned unjustly for longer periods of time.
About the chatter that mentioned DMAs, they are the reason why some devices don't work with Valorant running. If a device's type can't be identified by Vanguard, it just cuts it off, disabling any connectivity and drivers. And for device types it identifies, it regularly scans its behavior for signs of misbehavior. So if a device doesn't fit an approved shape (as in presents itself as an input device, a drive, a network card, a sound card, or anything identifiable) it's not able to run, and if anything doesn't behave like its category suggests, it's detected and you're part of the next ban wave. Basically 1984 in the computer.
This is one major reason why I prefer to play single-player games
Trolls WILL weaponize all the lazy anticheat patterns.
Some classic “works on my machine so ship it 🚢“
