Hey all
I am wondering how is the is anti-cheat for the PR servers. Seeing as it is based on BF2, I am assuming it has PunkBuster. Are the PR servers able to be protected by ACi (anticheatinc.net) or PBBans (pbbans.com).
I am a server admin at both ACi and PBBans and I can message some of the highers up about supporting PR and protecting the PR servers.

PBBans used to work when the servers went through the EA masterserver, I dont remember if they support PRs own though. Anticheat in BF2(even with 3rd party orograms) is shit though, theres virtually no pre-emptive measures.

Re: Project Reality AntiCheat
There's only file verification preventing you from adding basic stuff to your profile files (idk why that ever even worked, so dumb), apart from that... there's nothing since 1.0. PB has been useless anyway, admins and BR are your best bet. Takes way too much effort to get somebody banned.

Re: Project Reality AntiCheat
I know that file verification prevents texture modification which could be used for texture based wall hacks and single colored textures. I'm sure there were more creative uses for cheating by editing files.inb4banned wrote:There's only file verification preventing you from adding basic stuff to your profile files (idk why that ever even worked, so dumb), apart from that... there's nothing since 1.0.
That said, I don't believe punkbuster works client side anymore since you can deny to update punkbuster at install, remove punkbuster files from Project Reality folder, and file verification does not check those files. << Correct if wrong.

Correct, PB hasn't been with PR since 1.0. It's not much of a loss since it didn't really do much anyway. Except for that time it banned people for upgrading Nvidia drivers...
