Chapter 328 Eradicating Cheating Techniques, Shocking the World!
Amidst much anticipation, the S3 preview livestream made its second appearance.
Everyone was eager to see what kind of results the Delta Force team, having exhausted all its resources, would deliver.
It could even be said that the future of Delta, to some extent, depends on the content of this live stream.
Despite the initial controversy, the second live stream's popularity not only didn't wane but far surpassed its predecessor.
The live chat exploded with comments.
It's finally here!!
[S3! My S3! I've waited so long!]
Where's Jiang Feng? I want to see Jiang Feng's live stream!
Are there any new maps?
Yi Feng sat in front of the camera, looking tired, with dark circles and bags under his eyes, but his eyes burned with an irrepressible confidence.
Eyes that shine, heart that burns!
Seeing the soaring popularity, Yi Feng took a deep breath.
"Welcome to the Delta Force Season 3 preview special. I know you've all been waiting a long time..."
"I won't let everyone down this time."
Yi Feng leaned forward slightly, placed his hands on the table with his hands crossed, and the smile on his lips slowly faded, replaced by a solemn, almost ritualistic seriousness.
He didn't look at the teleprompter; his gaze remained steadily fixed on the camera, as if he were looking directly at everyone watching the live stream, before he began to speak.
"I said before, give me some time, and I will give you an explanation. I'm standing here today to fulfill that promise."
The large screen behind me suddenly lit up, and the first headline read: "[Combating Cheating: Eradicating Cheating Starts Today!]".
His tone was incredibly arrogant, yet not a single person sent a sarcastic comment. Everyone held their breath, waiting for him to continue.
"The first issue, and the one everyone is most concerned about, is cheating."
"We have made a lot of efforts on the software side—reconstructing the anti-cheating system, AI detection, abnormal behavior modeling, and manual review of reports."
Yi Feng's voice deepened:
"In the past few days, our ACE software anti-cheat system has banned 827 million accounts, and the detection rate of DMA cheats has increased from 30% to 87%. You should be able to feel that there are far fewer cheats in the game now."
The screen behind him switched between charts and data as he spoke, each page marked with densely packed update logs.
The comments section was immediately filled with "Indeed".
Seriously! Now, you'll encounter a cheater at most once in ten games.
It's much better than before; at least we can play normally now.
However, some still slip through the net! Those high-end DMAs simply can't be detected.
"I know that software-based anti-cheating measures are always a case of 'it's never too late'," Yi Feng smiled and readily admitted.
"But these measures can only suppress DMA cheats; they can't completely eliminate them. I know what you're thinking—Yifeng, are you going to make empty promises again? Are you going to say you're 'truly committed' again?"
The chat was silent for a moment. He waited a few seconds, then a smile suddenly appeared on his lips, and his voice rose a few decibels.
"but!"
"We've made an even bigger breakthrough—in terms of hardware!"
The large screen behind me suddenly switched, and ASUS's ROG Glogo and Delta's logo lit up side by side, shining brightly.
"Starting today, Delta ACE Anti-Cheat Labs has officially entered into a strategic partnership with ASUS."
The screen switched to the connection window, and a face that all hardware enthusiasts would recognize appeared on the screen—Asus Tony!
This is our first guest today.
This was completely unexpected by all the players.
Uncle Tony waved at the camera, his smile bright and firm:
"Hello, Delta Force players around the world, everyone."
"This collaboration..."
"After discussions, we found that we shared the same initial intentions, our love for games, and our pursuit of fair competition, and we hit it off immediately."
"On February 15th, ASUS will launch a Delta-exclusive motherboard."
His tone became incredibly serious, "This isn't just a superficial collaboration involving printing a logo. We've written the ACE hardware-level anti-cheating module into the BIOS, establishing the world's first PCIe device whitelist..."
"Everything is for the sake of combating cheating!"
"Fairness, fairness, fucking fairness!"
Uncle Tony also showed his temper, speaking each word with conviction:
"As long as you use our motherboard, there's no possibility of DMA or external memory connections!"
"Our top-tier security team at ASUS tried to breach the system internally for seven days and seven nights, but failed."
"I can confidently say that this motherboard is 100% effective against external hacks."
"Eradicate Delta Force cheats, starting today!"
Upon hearing this, Delta Force players worldwide gasped in shock.
Global temperatures are falling.
A chill ran down the spines of all the players—not from fear, but from an intense, overwhelming excitement.
Today, someone told them: cheating software can really be eradicated.
The barrage of comments exploded like a volcanic eruption, scrolling so fast that it formed a white torrent.
【? ? ? ? Did I hear that right? ? ? 】
[100% Anti-Cheat? Is this really true?]
Holy crap! ASUS is getting in on the action! This is a game-changer!
[DMA manufacturers go bankrupt overnight! Many internet cafe operators lose their jobs!]
Jiangfeng is awesome! Yifeng is awesome! ASUS is awesome!
Weibo, Bilibili, NGA, Tieba... all gaming-related platforms were flooded with this message at the same time.
#ASUS teams up with Delta to eradicate cheating software#
#The era of hardware-level anti-cheating has arrived#
Countless players spread the news, and their social media feeds were filled with screenshots of the live stream, accompanied by just three words: "It's dawn."
Jiang Feng was also stunned, his fingertips tightening slightly.
He understood the significance of this collaboration better than anyone else.
It's worth noting that in the past, when ACE used violent data sweeping as an anti-cheating measure, ASUS was the first manufacturer to publicly criticize it!
In this iteration, ASUS not only did not object, but also took matters into its own hands, writing anti-cheating measures into the BIOS's underlying layer.
A complete upheaval!
During the live stream, Yifeng gave Tony time to introduce the motherboard's specifications and performance.
"Many people might ask, will this interconnecting motherboard be very expensive?" Uncle Tony seemed to read everyone's mind, and waved his hand with a smile, "I'm telling you clearly here: no."
"We are launching three models in total: the entry-level B760M Delta Edition, priced at 699 yuan; the mid-range Z790-P Delta Edition, priced at 1299 yuan; and the flagship ROG STRIX Z790 Delta Edition, priced at 2999 yuan."
"The configuration and performance of all models are exactly the same as our regular motherboards in the same price range. The anti-cheat module is a free addition; we didn't charge an extra penny. We did this to provide all players with a fair gaming environment."
Once those words were spoken, even the last remaining voice of doubt disappeared.
Uncle Tony waved to the camera: "Alright, you can check the ASUS website for details about the motherboard. Now, let's leave the rest to Yifeng; he has even more important news to announce."
The live feed ended, and the camera switched back to Yifeng. He had a relieved smile on his face, and the weariness in his eyes had faded somewhat.
"All players using Delta co-branded motherboards will be placed in a separate 'clean matchmaking pool' for both casual and ranked games. In this pool, there will be no DMA or memory cheating, only the purest fair competition."
"Players who do not use hardware anti-cheat will remain in the regular matchmaking pool and continue to be protected by software anti-cheat. We will not force anyone to change their hardware, but we will provide a clean gaming environment for players who are willing to pay for fairness."
"After the live stream ends, we will forcibly unbind the real-name authentication of all accounts. Starting from Season 3, Delta Force requires real-name authentication to enter the game."
"And—" He paused, his eyes becoming incredibly sharp.
"If an account linked to an ID card is found to be cheating, we will permanently ban that account and block all access to Delta Force for 10 years."
"Within 10 years, this ID card will no longer be valid for Delta Force."
All players of Delta Force suddenly felt a sense of happiness.
There's hope for the future...
