No Linux version of Lonely Mountains: Downhill yet due to IL2CPP in Unity
17 Oct 2019 at 5:23 am UTC
Which... on one hand isn't totally wrong, as games using "just" c# are super simple to modify, given how easily C# can be reverse engineered, modified and put back in (that's how many mods are made).
On the other hand, the same can be done with C++, it's just harder as it doesn't keep the code structure as intact when built as C# does.
I get that somewhat for games that are primarily multiplayer, but for single player games I really don't.
But in the end, only a server-client model, in which the server does all the decision-making and the game client is merely there for the simulation and input, can make sure there are less hacks.

Quoting: GuestI wonder why they think they need il2cpp. Thousands of games have been made with Unity3D without il2cpp.I think some brought up security issues as an argument.

I find this weird, to be honest.
Doesn't IL2CPP merely convert C# scripts to C++?
C# is quite fast to begin with. You really have to make things very convoluted and messy to get bad performance with Mono/C# that you'd then need to convert to C++ for a very noticeable boost.
Of course, it might be that Unity adds some problems of its own here.

Dota 2 matchmaking may be less terrible now for solo players and more difficult for toxic people

Aha. So it's getting satisfaction not from your skill, but from being able to ruin other people's experience with little effort.
I guess that does make some kind of sense if you are a pathetic person.

I just don't understand it.
Why play competitive games with cheats? If you win, you know you only won because of cheats. It's hollow.
And you don't even gain any money from it - I do understand grinding bot accounts for MMOs, someone's gotta farm that gold to sell online.
But maybe I'm just too much Klingon and Ferengi to get the point.

Quoting: Liam DaweDoes anyone have an explanation for this?Quoting: Geppeto35Do you know games like CS:GO danger zone without this mass of cheaters?All massively popular games have a lot of cheaters in them, sadly. They constantly ban accounts but more keep coming.

How is this behaviour score calculated?
I can only imagine it being based on other players' ratings.

How about every single game that can (normally) only be played together via local shared-/splitscreen?
