This is so funny because rust has one of the worst cheating situations and majority of their players are windows users, and theres lots of games that have anticheat that allows linux and have notably less significant cheating problems like marvel rivals. in reality rust doesn't take cheating very seriously because if they did they would have more server side software that detects illegitimate behaviour like tons of other games do successfully...... even most popular Minecraft servers have better functioning anti cheat that is completely server side than rust has while getting kernel access to your pc. its pathetic and lazy development tbh and this entire post from them reads like such extreme cope....
They're totally different scenarios. How is the server supposed to know if a player has (e.g.) walls disabled and knows where the enemies are?
Because the client has to know where the enemies are while still hiding it from the player.
People who have no idea how things work and go off on quotes they see online is why these discussions are useless.
That's the neat part: you don't. If their idea of anti cheat means taking over my machine to scan everything that runs on it, it's a lost battle. Either find a way to do it server side based on behavioral heuristics, or don't bother.
