I genuinely appreciate the anti-cheat system but PLEASE

I genuinely appreciate the anti-cheat system, it's a great addition to the client and much better than Steam's BO2 anti-cheat (if it even has one), but can you improve it so it doesn't ban anyone for using cheats while playing Solo or Custom matches? That would be a huge improvement and most players wouldn't be banned (I got banned for using cheats in Solo while making a video), also why extend the ban if someone uses a different account to play BO2? If you're worried about them cheating again isn't your anti-cheat going to keep banning them if they use cheats which will actually make them learn not to use cheats again?

HighResolution No. Disabling the anti-cheat during private matches or solo games adds weakness to the system. Also, if a player would join a server afterwards, they would be banned immediately. We have a solution for that, it's LAN mode. It's a toggle on the launcher. It completely disconnects your game from Plutonium. Use this next time. Do not assume the anti-cheat won't be running in private matches or solo games. The anti-cheat is always running and is always scanning for cheats.
-
The ban extends is in place as punishment for people trying to circumvent their ban. We're trying to do as much as we can to keep the game clean from cheaters. We have a 0 tolerance policy against cheating in any form. This is also why the second anti-cheat ban is permanent and will not be removed. More information can be found in our anti-cheat policy on our forum.

Because we literally say not to do that on the ban message. What kind of joke would it be if you just would have to switch accounts to cheat instantly again?

Thats one way of teaching them they can't cheat the system, if they think they are smarter than our anticheat they are being greeted by a nice surprise extension to their ban. As said before we warn them not to try anything at all and just sit it out. We are not worried a bit about the anticheat not keeping them out nor are we sorry for people that ignore our warnings and get banned.

RektInator I completely understand that now, I have already deleted the cheat software so I don't get banned again, I know this is off-topic/unrelated but can you give me a work-around solution to play BO2 with my friends while the ban ends (ex. a different client, another way, etc.)?
-
You can start the game in lan mode manually, you can use the search function on the forum to find out how.
-
HighResolution are you talking about actual cheats or mod menus? Why would you wanna use actual cheats to make videos?
You can load mod menus without using an injector (which will get you banned): https://forum.plutonium.pw/topic/6966/how-to-use-a-mod-menu-without-injecting-loading-gsc-scripts-client-sided -
Xerxes Is there an exact keyword/certain link for that guide/forum? Also can I use Hamachi to play with my friends in that way?
-
A good starting point would be this thread
-
Xerxes Do my friends need to do the same steps and add the -connect thing at the end and whatnot or can they join inside Plutonium's normal BO2 LAN Mode, also I added -dedicated in that and it didn't work, but removing it and making it only end with -lan runs BO2 normally
-
HighResolution HighResolution nvm i read the last part of the thread but still can my friends join using the normal client or do the .bat thing, and do they need to join using hamachi or
using my "ip:port" like normal custom matches -
Our official standpoint towards Hamachi is: Newer install that garbage and if you did re-install Windows.
-
Xerxes yeah i saw a lot of posts regarding that lol, what do i use then for my friends to join a LAN server?
-
Portforwarding + direct connect command.
Or rAdmin VPN. -
This post is deleted!
-
Xerxes I already port-forwarded, but I thought that was for custom matches in normal BO2? I thought this is the LAN mode in BO2, can I still make my friends connect using only the normal way? (Also how do I get 3 reputation I'm tired of waiting 10 minutes especially when I figure out something I asked)
-
port forward make sure windows firewall is also ported with a inbound connection of 4976 when in game go to find match custom games set it up then hit start game give your friends your public ip and make sure there also in lan mode and all they have to do is open console and type connect ip:4976 and they should be in your game its really that simple.
-
FragsAreUs oh wow that is simple, i still have one last question, by public ip what do you mean? like do i have to go to cmd and type "ipconfig" and copy the ipv4 adress and let my friends connect using "connect theipfromcmd:4976" or go to whatsmyip.com or other websites that give public ip adresses and use that?
-
the ip from your cmd window is your local ipv4 you need to use whatismyip.com or any other website that will give your public ipv4

FragsAreUs Alright, thanks a lot! Gonna try this tomorrow, any staff and admins can lock this thread now if you want.
