Cheat Engine

[Mythran Lee]

Many 8 to 12 year olds are using the software to exploit muiltiplayer.and that just ruins the whole gameplay as a legit player.now almost every single game has at least 1000+ kids who just joins a game and uses cheat engine for his own "fun" and trashes other players cause he is bad at the game.Muiltiplayer is for players to compete against each others skill,not just run cheat engine and claims one is a pro....I really don't mind people cheating in a single player game cause i doesn't affects anyone.all i want to say is,DISABLE CHEAT ENGINE FOR MUILTIPLAYER CAUSE KIDS JUST USES IT FOR THEIR FUCKING LIKINGS...

Write this to the game developers.

If you're able to use cheat engine to simply create multiplayer cheats, it's definitly the game developers fault. They programmed the game with a very bad design. Also, if cheat engine wouldn't exist, they would simply pick another tool to achive their goals. That's it. Complain to the gamedevs to handle priority game parts server side and it will become very difficult for those "said kids".

If game developers didn't want people to use cheat engine, they'd add in a check for a program named "Cheat Engine" and then trash/destroy your system. I'm not going to rename cheat engine. (unless it's done as a joke because of people saying they don't want to use it because it has the word cheat in it. I'm thinking of Super Fun Game Modding Engine )

An recent 'innocent' example of this is as the user describes here: http://forum.cheatengine.org/viewtopic.php?t=578123
where it just activated the automated shutdown. (Tip: Find out what game it is and then advertise link shorteners to this website in the chat in that game or in their forum. People will get so pissed when they follow those links )

But I've seen some that will just force a hardware reboot making you lose your file cache and causing filesystem corruption, or purposefully delete files from your harddisk that may or may not have been used to cheat

Also, even if I could be bothered to keep a list of multiplayer games, or single player games with a multiplayer component, and add in advanced detection if it's done on the multiplayer or single player part of the game, it's open source.
That means that anyone who is capable of downloading freepascal and lazarus is capable of removing those checks

Right. The only true way to avoid cheaters in multiplayer games is to avoid multiplayer games. It's really easy, actually.
