"had this issue gone unnoticed, it would have completely nullified all existing DMA detection and prevention tech currently on the market - including that of other gaming companies - due to the nature of this class of cheats running in a privileged area that anti-cheats typically do not run."
"The developer said it has "evolved" its machine-learning-based anti-cheat measures with the aim of helping the system become "smarter, faster, and fairer." "Our aimbot-detection models are trained to decide whether a player's targeting was performed by a human or an aimbot. In Black Ops 7, these updated models will discriminate between natural aim and cheating with even greater precision by taking what they have learned from real gameplay to catch more cheaters than before," the developer explained."
The latest edition of Valve's monthly Steam Hardware & Software Survey is out, showing a rise in Steam usage on Linux. Penguin likes to play! In isolation, the numbers aren't all that impressive. Linux usage is at 3.05 percent, up 0.37 percentage points from last month. However, it's a significant uptick compared to the October 2024 results, which showed Linux usage at exactly two percent, up a mere 0.13 percentage points. It's also up about 0.4 percentage points from the August survey numbers.
