No protection via STEAM ???

Apparently the guy is able to connect multiplayer and do his mess without problem

It's possible in single player,you'll get an instant account ban if you try that online Luthier said, but if that isn't true then the devs better get a hold of it.

I guess the ban of which Luthier was referring to will only be applicaple when the second patch is official.

I wonder however if there is a version check when joining MP. If not I don't see how they will ban ppl when they continue playing unpatched.

If that is applicable to full switch servers as well, that sucks.

I believe Luthier said they would gather data and do wide spread ban after a bit of time.

So I would think right now tons of people think they are getting away with it and the devs are gathering tons of info to ban them. This info would then most likely be used as a guide on how to catch future cheaters I would think... Kind of like teaching a system how to detect cheaters then have a set of eyeballs to really verify uncertain things.

Lets hope you are right about this. We will know more after the official patch is released.

I'll be laughing my head off if that happens, all the cheaters happily cheating and all the sudden, WHAM, end of story.

S!

Cheaters will cheat no matter what. The most clever cheater is not the one seen in that video but a player that adds a few % here and there for example. It is hard then to tell if it is due ping or other things. Some use 3rd party programs outside the game to achieve desired results, like the "see it all" cheat in IL-2 where you could see where other players were etc.

Banning cheaters is a good measure, how to implement it is another issue.

The use the same way as MS uses to ban hacked xboxes. They gather data ,flag the users and then ban them in waves. And Steams policy is the same. You will never get the account re-opened no matter how high you cry or whatever threats you can come up with. Not as long as you did cheat or use any mods in multi-player!
Better think twice before doing any of these things unless you don't care.
