Oh, I don't know if this is thread deserves the usual "Who cares, you're not the first or last to moan about this" award that everyone seems to queue up these days to give.

This is a genuine worry... A cheat detecting program that detects cheats that don't actually exist is laughable.

Now, the picture posted isn't amazingly clear (You'd have done better to have taken a screenshot of that chat and get a clearer shot of fog - I can see there's fog on your screen but it's not really clear) but it does seem that the picture shows fog all the same.

I only just came back to playing MoH recently and noticed this "cheat detector" and really wondered about its accuracy. I presume it checks each user's dumpuser result and has a list of well-known pk3 files that contain skins and other mods?

That can't be 100% accurate, as most of us know.

I suppose it gets rid of the odd skin junky who doesn't even realise they're using skins that would be considered to be cheating, or that they have a file named nofog.pk3 (or similar), but other than that it seems to be fairly dodge (English slang for unreliable).

Well worth highlighting, in my opinion.

Where do you stand if you can't trust the anti-cheat programs?
