It's pretty hard to people to discuss this with you when you don't provide any useful information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tylanater Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 it's hard to say for a specific case. People check sneaky spots all the time. ESP hacks are also rampant in this game though because WC chooses to have light enforcement policies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tylanater Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 to counter ESP your best bet is to hide stuff somewhere that is not rendered in often, I'll not give away my own strategies but MOST ESPs don't work unless the dino/storage is rendered, however, some rare expensive ESP can see the whole map.

MagnumBonum Posted May 6, 2022 Author Share Posted May 6, 2022 It's Gen Two; basically everywhere with a tree is a hiding location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The simple answer of turning down "render distance" for stuff (like trees and leaves and etc.) on a client machine is the fist way to "cheat". After that is fiddling with .ini settings to remove a bunch of that same render stuff. None of which is really a cheat - because maybe your machine cannot deal with the complex rendering for a "full game" experience - so WC allows it to happen. And then one gets to real cheats ..... Very difficult (from a victims POV) to draw a distinction. My personal (like a year in the past) experience is there is no where to build an undetectable base. Overground the .ini "hack" will betray you, and underground (in a cave or whatever) is too well known. It is (was) possible to have a cache of stuff stowed well underwater that you can kick start from - but base or really significant kit - No!

MacoLa Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 By my opinion any type of altering game files is considered cheating, correct me if i am wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but wildcard allow it. INI editing is ridiculous, being able to completely remove leaves/bushes, make water completely clear, remove any torpidity/plant effects, make night/caves into daytime and all the other 'tweaks' is just terrible practice from a developer. Even gamma removes the needs for any lights or torches and makes the night no threat at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but not by WildCard's definition. You have to play the game you have, not he game you wish you had. Obviously you have every right to complain to WildCard for failing to punish cheating more effectively, or failing to build their game in a way the prevents cheating via the .ini file, but in the meanwhile the simple fact is that WC won't take enforcement actions agains .ini cheating. You have to decide whether that's important enough to you to leave the game or whether you're willing to play in spite of their decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyBear Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Well if they can see them w/ cheating, what about setting up 400 vaults so that way they can spend their time looking for the right ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yggdrassil Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 I was looking into this a little just to see what is out there (as a disclaimer, i browsed online only, i have not purchased or used any cheat) and some of the cheats are crazy, one in particular removed all textures so the world was wireframe with every enemy highlighted, nothing is hidden. The aimbots can be changed to hit certain body areas, there are speedhacks, all sorts of things. Honestly, to stop these on live servers would be a very big job and i don't think wildcard will be willing to spend the resources on it unfortunately especially whilst developing the next installment which im sure we will see in a few years.
