Xu Zhi took the paper and looked at it. The contents on the paper were very simple. It was a triangular line, and there was a sentence at the top of each line.
1. Establish a technical threshold to improve the security of the game itself, and compress the technical space of the plug-ins.
2. Establish an operating system to guide the players. You can start from many aspects in the forum.
3. Set up a reward mechanism to allow players to participate in anti-cheating and give players rewards for playing the game.
After reading it, Xu Zhi nodded. “What you wrote is very good.”
“It’s more than that!”
Wang Xiangliang was standing in Xu Zhi’s office and looking out the window. The sun was setting outside the window, and a large patch of clouds was dyed golden yellow.
“This process will be very long, especially the last two. For example, I might be able to create a monitoring software in a week that can defend against 98% of the cheats. However, the last two, if done, will be very complicated. It will also consume a lot of time, manpower, and even money. In the end, it will only be able to defend against 1% of the players. These are all things that you need to consider, President Xu.”
“Wang Xiangliang, I will spare no effort in dealing with anti-cheat.”
Xu Zhi knew very well the damage that cheats could do to the game. As long as he could do it, he would definitely do it.
“I understand.” Wang Xiangliang nodded at this time.
“Where do you want to work from now on?” Xu Zhi changed the topic and asked.
“I’ll look at President Xu’s arrangements. I can work anywhere.”
Wang Xiangliang turned his head and took a look. He had just come up from the first floor. He was quite satisfied with the environment of the entire Dream Game Company.
“That’s good. Let’s call it a day. We’ll officially start tomorrow. I’ll arrange for you to work on the third floor. It’s spacious. If you have any problems, just look for me.”
“Okay, I understand. I’ll be leaving first.”
After saying that, Wang Xiangliang packed his backpack and prepared to leave.
“Oh right, come earlier tomorrow. I’ll introduce you to your colleagues,” Xu Zhi reminded him again.
“No problem.”
Wang Xiangliang went downstairs. Xu Zhi watched Wang Xiangliang’s back through the glass as he disappeared through the company door. He sat back down.
In fact, he had wanted to treat Wang Xiangliang to a meal, but he did not say it out loud.
For a person like Wang Xiangliang, Xu Zhi felt that perhaps it was best to maintain a subtle distance between them.
…
The next day, Wang Xiangliang arrived at the company at eight o’clock in the morning.
Xu Zhi first arranged an office for him. Then, he introduced Wang Xiangliang to a few directors in the meeting room. The other ministers welcomed Wang Xiangliang, the new anti-cheat director.
Nowadays, cheats on Jumping the Line of Fire were becoming more and more rampant. Wang Xiangliang came at the right time.
Although they did not know who Wang Xiangliang was, he was invited personally by Xu Zhi. This person must be good.
Wang Xiangliang’s first job today was to add the patches from yesterday into Jumping the Line of Fire.
With the cooperation of the R&D department, everything was quickly settled.
Jumping the Line of Fire had undergone a non-stop update, and the patches had been successfully added to the game.
Once these patches were added, the effect on a part of the players who were cheating could be seen immediately.
In the internet cafe.
“Boss, why can’t I play games on your computer?”
“Mine can’t play games too? The computer next to me is fine.”
“I’m still downloading, why did it disappear? My teammates are still waiting for me. Boss, is there something wrong with your computer?”
The owner of the Internet cafe heard the noise coming from the internet cafe and walked over from the bar counter.
The knowledgeable owner of the internet cafe pressed a few buttons on the keyboard of a computer owner and immediately saw the problem with the computers of these players.
“My computers are fine, they are new computers. There is no problem at all! You motherf*cker, you were kicked out for using cheats. What are you arguing about? Do you want to play or not?”
“I didn’t use cheats,” a player at the side argued.
“You didn’t use it?” The owner of the internet cafe walked over and pressed on the computer again. “If you didn’t use plug-ins, how come there is a cheat software here when I press F10? You’re not being honest.”
After scolding the player, the owner of the Internet cafe dragged his feet and walked back.
The players behind him touched their heads and whispered, “X-ray vision doesn’t count as a cheat.”
The patch that was added quickly had an effect. At this moment, the official forum was in an uproar.
“What’s going on? We were having a good time, and then we forced our way out. If we force our way in, we get kicked out again, is this game over?”
“F*ck, we were having a good time, but we were kicked out. Why can’t we log in again?”
“I just spent 999 on the AK Kirin. Is this how you treat paying customers?”
“Dream Game Company, come out and say something.”
“That’s right. I’m an old player who played since the first day. Why was I kicked? It even said that I can’t enter for an hour.”
“It’s a trash game. If you want to force someone to leave, just say it.”
“…”
Although there were many clamoring voices, there were also normal voices.
“By the way, did you guys cheat? My game is normal.”
“Indeed, I’m also normal. I wasn’t kicked out. Did you guys cheat?”
“I’m playing well. There’s no problem at all.”
“Usually, everyone pretends to be an expert, but now everything is exposed.”
These normal comments seemed to have touched the sore spot of these players. Some people began to counterattack crazily.
“I’m telling you, don’t spout nonsense. This is the game’s problem. I don’t care about cheating.”
“If I cheat, I’ll have a bad life. This is clearly the game’s problem. Don’t spout nonsense.”
“Why doesn’t the company release an official statement? There’s a problem with your game.”
While the forum was in a heated argument, a game announcement that was written by Xu Zhi suddenly appeared on the game login page.
At this moment, it was discovered by the forum players.
“F*ck, look, the official announcement has been made.”
[Game announcement:]
[Dear players, since the launch of Jumping the Line of Fire, we have gained a lot of players’ love and support. We are very happy about this.]
[However, recently, we have discovered that many players use plug-ins in the game, and this is not only unfair to others, but it will also greatly affect the game experience.]
[After our technical department’s investigation, some players who use plug-ins have been lightly punished.]
[At this stage, they are only kicked out of the game and banned from logging in for an hour.]
[We hope that these players can return to the normal gaming environment and do not maliciously use cheats. At the same time, from today onwards, we will increase the intensity of our attacks on cheats and at the same time, increase the severity of our punishments.]
[In the near future, we will be launching a variety of anti-cheats activities. Please look forward to it!]
When they saw this news, the forum became lively again.
“You still say you didn’t cheat? Can you still say you didn’t cheat? There’s an official announcement. This time, we will let you off easy. Next time, we will probably ban you forever.”
“Awesome, awesome. This time, even the orphans have appeared.”
“Don’t delete the posts, don’t delete the posts. I took a screenshot.”
“Why aren’t you saying anything now? weren’t you shouting happily just now? Why are you all being mute?”
