The whole point is that nothing is unbypassable. If you make it difficult enough, a lot of people will not bother trying.

Don't forget many of these cheaters play on their daddy's computer and can't afford to do a lot of the stuff that would be needed to bypass these measures.

If you were to go back and read the early TT threads, you'd know that they plan to seek EA's approval to push the patch. Of course, they won't do this until they're absolutely sure it's rock solid.

It was said before that tests would be done through "events". Hopefully these tests will be sufficient.

Well, we are of course not testing while we program, and we also do not have internal alpha tests, and we certainly will not have beta tests....

Ofcourse we're testing it.....

Well, guess what, we're testing on both windows XP as vista, so unless you screwed over your windows install, it'll probably run on it....

The reason hitman keeps asking is that if the patch doesn't come out relatively soon the clanwars.cc renegade league is gonna hit the fan.
I know alot of the renegade public isn't too fond of the ppl in the league, but it can be renegade at its finest when retards aren't around :/

I've heard from *very* reliable sources that the person doing shaders.dll work runs Windows Vista Ultimate x64 with UAC enabled on his system and is also working on getting as many kinks out of Renegade for players running Vista or any other Windows OS without having full administrative privileges. Get this, Renegade with a limited user on XP has the same problems as Vista "has".

Yeah, MS finally implemented user privilege levels and loads of softeare broke... suprise! At least they added the "run as administrator" option.

I imagine the patch will get done pretty soon - some sort of test by march 09. I hope.



Renguard is a wonderful initiative

They've always had them implemented under NT, but everybody (consumer-wise, not businesses) was always running as Administrator because they didn't want to log out and back into an admin account to make administrative changes.

Don't forget that the default user when created is created as administrator. Or at least, that was the case on windows XP. And well, most PC users don't even know what administrator means, let alone change it for some user account...

I'm certain that with Win XP SP2 install disk the default user that you create is Administrator, At least that happens for the dutch version....

The first users (aka the ones you create via Setup) are Administrators, however the Users control panel item gives you the choice between Administrator and Limited User.

I suspect that about 70 to 80% (at least) of the users don't know the control panel "users" so... By default everyone is an admin.

Well if they don't know about creating new accounts "in" windows then I don't see how they could even get through a windows install Razz

forcing a hardware change can never be done anyway, one can always change the detection code to make it detect whatever hardware they want.

I also assume you could just run it all inside of a virtual machine, therefore emulating whatever hardware you wanted...

However true that may be... I dont really think playing Ren via VMware or any other emulating program is gonna be easy. I would suspect that it would lag real bad and make it really unplayable for the user.
