    Preventing Hacking & Botting in Evo Gold?

    Just curious if any/much thought has been put into preventing people hacking or Botting in Evo Gold? Xbox is somewhat protected natively, but the PC world is much much different...

    I'm sure it won't take long for people to create bots that can platinum every track... Or perform memory editing to increase bike speeds etc...

    This is something that puts me off getting this version...

    Cheers

    You raise an interesting point.

    Still, it's gonna take a hell of a lot more than that to dissuade my interest.

    ...though...

    A bot in multiplayer would suck.

    In the past Redlynx has always been very quick about removing bots and hackers from other games. So they have my full trust that they will also take care of our PC version

    Yeah, merciless banning worked pretty well in the past.

    Nobody really cheated on T2SE anyway, except with the flip tracks, and those who did got a swift, merciless banhammer to the gob which worked rather well.

    Nothing to worry about at all. Until AkaM starts tinkering with things...

    Gold will have many more people, so I expect to see ... many more cheated records and probably with more sophisticated ways (as opposed to cheating flip tracks).
    However the t2se way of banning people worked fine. Just this time, there'll be more work to do.

    Plus we'll discover all the possible ways to cheat first! Then we'll know what to expect. Only this time, I'm not revealing anything to Kim.

    Making a bot would take a lot of time and a lot of knowledge for the purposes of what route is faster, sounds like to much time just to have it patched eventually and is more like a cheaters fantasy than anything

    Not really when they can 'learn' the routes & inputs needed by watching replays, heck, self learning from 'capturing' replays could probably be programmed into the bot too.
