ESL release new anti-cheat client

11-10-2010 19:11

After nine months of work, the much-anticipated ESL Wire Anti-Cheat program has now been released.

HLTV.org had last month reported that the Electronic Sports League were in the process of unveiling a new anti-cheat tool meant to replace the current Aequitas tool.

The closed and open betas have come to an end, and the ESL has now released the official candidate. The Aequitas client has been laid dead, while the use of ESL Wire Anti-Cheat will from now on be compulsory for games such as Counter-Strike 1.6 and Source.

Those who do not employ the new anti-cheat tool for matches will be rewarded with penalty points, while those found guilty in cheating will receive a two-year ban as usual.

You are able to download the new anti-cheat client over at ESL's official website, as well as read additional information about its release. Do so by clicking here.

Stay tuned to HLTV.org throughout the evening as we have conducted an in-dept interview with the Vice President of Gaming Communities.

nice

Cheaters are always few steps in front of anti-cheats. Same like in virus/anti-virus. People who are helping develop those are usually the ones who know what holes it has, so that's why cheaters (viruses) show up so fast. Someone ears money because of it, and will always be that way.

Not if they do this: youtube.com/watch?v=gZmuUGY-sZ0

2010-10-11 19:16

It will destroy you PC if you're cheating :P

2010-10-12 02:48

is it like EAC where the game server must have it "installed", or like Custodia where the server doesnt matter?

Each player has to run it on their PC, the server configurations its the default for clan wars.

2010-10-11 19:25

okay ty :)

2010-10-12 22:51

its worse than EAC3 and better than custodia i tested it a few times: 1. there isnt any plugin for the server just for the client/user 2. a lot of ppl complain about laggs 3. the screenshot system linsemann is not working well the admins said this prog will detect organner ring0 and ring3 hacks :-) sounds good but i also hope they detect these random public hacks wich everyones knows :D

2010-10-11 19:43

well I think it's a lot of time for nothing more than an anti-cheat for a 10 years old video game. avoid doing that please, it makes me clic on the little red box at the top of the page just to read "ok"...

well then don't fill us with crap (sorry) but i do think that alot of people on Hltv.org are care

2010-10-11 19:57

damn, I don't get people like you, so aggressive with other people they don't even know and that didn't attack them in any way. I'm sorry you are so pissed off.

2010-10-11 20:12

you cheat. your attitude is talking..

2010-10-11 20:02

yeah, your nickname is talking too :P (I don't even have a wallhack program on my computer)

2010-10-11 20:15

liar!

2010-10-12 08:57

It's not only for counter-strike, this anti-cheat is like a driver you install to your computer and according to esl this anti-cheat is for pretty much all competitive games.

yeah I get it, but it's still huge... I mean, wow, 9 months, for some video games companies it's pretty much what it takes to create an entire game. I'm not criticizing their work in any way, I'm just quite surprised by how long it took.

2010-10-11 20:14

keeping in mind how many were in the making of the anti-cheat that's an achievement.

2010-10-11 20:44

haha lmao :D

2010-10-11 20:09

they take 9 months to develop a new anti-cheat and in those 9 months cheaters already created like 100 new cheats xD

I have a familiar,who states that probably can hack the new AC.He is a well known program developer in our national CS community,he already made some very useful CS modifications.He is quite sure about his right but he wants to be absolutely sure that the "hack" won't get in wrong hands and as a result, he can help to get AC safer.

2010-10-11 21:15

How does an anti-cheat cost 500000 euros?

2010-10-11 21:50

So basicaly the "new anti-cheat tool" is aequitas integrated in Wire. Where have I seen this... oh wait.

i played 5 matches today, not a single aeq data was created :D seems like many had this problem. and fps drops still... but i already heard about a lot of buusts! so keep it up and bring some silent updates plx ;)

2010-10-11 23:39

yey finnaly!

2010-10-12 00:50

Should ban who made first "cheat" program.

2010-10-12 03:12

I really dislike this anti cheat. Got sooo many problesm with it, one of the main is that it does not launch CS from your shortcut which means the Mouse Acceleration is back! Hooray? Not. </3 ESL WIRED ANTICHEAT

2010-10-12 04:06

You can directly add the command line parameters in the ESL Wire games.
