I checkout SC once or twice per year because I think it has huge potential but it is not yet in a state where I can enjoy playing it for more than a couple of hours. There are still bugs, fps and stability issues. Development seems to have gone a little faster in the last year though and I really hope there will be a beta release somewhere this year.
In the meantime there are plenty of other games to enjoy.
I know you are joking but I’ve been running Wayland (Hyprland) on an Nvidia card for about a year now with in the beginning very few and currently zero issues. Even stuff like screensharing works.
“Downfall, a fan expansion for the popular Slay the Spire indie strategy game, was breached on Christmas Day to push Epsilon information stealer malware using the Steam update system.”
I remember downloading Doom (the shareware edition) from a BBS, launching it and being absolutely mind blown. The graphics and 3d engine were something else entirely. Good times.
Server determines hit received. Client only sends shot fired and direction and such. Server could also calculate if shot and direction make sense based on location, last shot fired, etc.
I’m a dev but not a game dev so I have no idea if this is doable or too much for the server to handle.
There probably is a reason anti cheat on the client is still needed. On the other hand, isn’t this mostly to prevent wallhacking and such? That’s probably the hardest cheat to detect server side if it’s even possible at all.
Not in the language I want. Besides they hop from series to series. Can’t keep up with that lol.
