Latest News

The ongoing tug-of-war between CoD Black Ops 6 and hackers continues. The game team recently announced a major update to Ricochet anti-cheat system for Season 5 and beyond.

At the same time, the publisher also revealed that it has taken legal action against several cheaters. This isn’t just a warning; it’s a direct message to those who attempt to undermine the game’s fairness: Don’t even think about it!

What Security Features Are Included?

CoD Black Ops 6 Season 5 launched on August 7th. This update introduces two security features specifically for PC: TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot.

To briefly explain these two features, TPM 2.0 (Trusted Platform Module) is a hardware-level security feature, either integrated into CPU or installed on the motherboard. Its function is to check for tampering with the PC’s boot process.

Secure Boot, on the other hand, plays an equally crucial role. When a PC boots into Windows, it acts like a strict gatekeeper, allowing only trusted software to access the system.

We all know that cheat software often sneaks in during system startup, and Secure Boot significantly reduces the possibility of this happening.

The developers have high hopes for these two new features, believing they will further enhance Ricochet anti-cheat system, allowing players to more confidently achieve their goals in CoD Black Ops 6 Bot Lobbies, truly achieving the goal of allowing players to launch the game in a pure and secure environment free of cheat interference.

However, PC players without TPM 2.0 should be aware that when launching CoD Black Ops 6, they may receive an in-game notification stating that their system does not meet the new security requirements.

But there’s no need to panic. The publisher has been thoughtful and has made it clear that players won’t be required to enable these two features during Season 5.

This is just a temporary reprieve; with the release of CoD Black Ops 7 later this year, both TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot will become mandatory.

The publisher has also provided detailed instructions for PC players to help them prepare for a smooth experience in CoD Black Ops 6 and Season 5.

How Is Cheating Combated?

In addition to these new security measures, Ricochet anti-cheat team has also been working tirelessly to combat cheaters. Officials say they’ve identified 22 individuals who developed and sold cheat software, many of whom have already complied.

The publisher also warned, “Those who remain compliant or who resurface under new guise will face even harsher penalties.”

Cheating isn’t just the work of hackers; Bo6 is also targeting boosters and group accounts to maintain fairness in competitive ranked play. Ricochet now has specialized detection tools that can identify boosting and teaming, and the anti-cheat team has permanently banned a number of accounts that have recently been primarily engaged in boosting.

Officials have also reminded players to pay attention to account security, recommending that everyone keep their email addresses up to date and enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on official accounts, even hinting that 2FA may become mandatory for all users in the future.

Overall, the development team is comprehensively strengthening anti-cheat management in the Call of Duty series, focusing on technical upgrades, legal action, code of conduct, and account security. The goal is to create a fairer gaming environment for players. The ultimate effectiveness of these measures remains to be seen in their actual implementation.

Today I want to talk about the current state of New World: Aeternum Season 9. Lately, there’s been a lot of talk in the community about the game dying, and many players feel it’s beyond saving.

Why has it come to this? Is it the game’s fault? Or is it our own fault?

First, let me share my opinion. The game’s lack of content after completing the game is certainly to blame. The gameplay isn’t keeping up, which makes it really boring.

The Community Environment Is Terrible

But honestly, much of the current community resentment is actually caused by the players themselves. With the game at this point, the community problems may be even more serious.

If you don’t believe me, check out the in-game chat channels, whether it’s recruiting or just chatting in public, you’ll always see things that shouldn’t be in the game.

Sudden racist comments and inexplicable political arguments between strangers make one wonder whether everyone is here to play games or to debate.

In my opinion, New World Aeternum player community is slowly deteriorating. I might even say it’s one of the most destructive gaming communities I’ve ever seen.

Player Hostility Is Excessive

I genuinely enjoy this game and don’t think it’s inherently bad, but I can’t stand the players sabotaging each other.

Veteran players often criticize others’ builds as inferior, especially returning players and newcomers. They casually say, “This build is just average.” Remember, rare builds often require a sufficient supply of New World Aeternum coins, which is a complete mockery of other players.

In fact, we should all reflect on ourselves, myself included: Are we truly being friendly to all players?

Speaking of which, I even quit the game for a few months because I couldn’t stand this kind of atmosphere, and I’ve publicly criticized some players’ behavior.

Sometimes, a single harsh remark can completely dampen someone’s enthusiasm for playing. The power of words is so easily overlooked. I didn’t realize it until I slowly began to understand it.

So, this time, when I returned, I deliberately changed my approach: I focused on being a healer, healing anyone who needed it. I’m certainly not very good at DPS, and tanking isn’t my strong suit; healing is my comfort zone.

Even so, I still get criticized. I really want to tell those who find fault with my build: if you think there’s something wrong with my build, just tell me how to fix it, instead of mocking my build as crappy.

I can still heal my teammates with my build, I’ve fought dozens of Gorgon raids, and farmed a fair bit in M3 expeditions. Doesn’t that make me a competent healer?

Some people always think that only the best healers, DPS players, or tanks are good at teaming up, but there aren’t that many top players in the game. We’re all just ordinary people, and playing together is what makes the game fun.

New World Aeternum Season 9 was supposed to be an inclusive game, one where everyone needs to be included. However, the current community atmosphere has completely eroded this sense of collaboration, becoming a burden that holds players back.

Anyone who has played other games knows that few communities are as charged with hostility as this one. I understand players inevitably have negative emotions, but aren’t games meant to be relaxing?

Instead of spending time mocking others’ equipment and playstyles, why not spend a few minutes teaching new players how to build gear? Instead of kicking teammates out of a dungeon over a disagreement, why not patiently guide them through the mechanics? Even if they’re struggling right now, who hasn’t been a beginner once?

Veteran players mentoring new players, and returning players helping newbies, that’s how a game can survive. Only in this way can New World Aeternum slowly improve, rather than spiraling downward amidst mutual recriminations.

So finally, I want to say that I hope every player who reads this article can be more patient with the people around them, whether they are newbies who have just entered the game or returning players who have not been back for a long time. Let us work together to make Aeternum continent lively for a little longer, okay?

So, what new content will the upcoming Ghosts of K’aresh bring to WoW The War Within?

In the game, players will explore the illusory world of K’aresh. Dark forces threaten to bring Dimensius back into the world, and players will need to form an alliance with other players to stop Dimensius and his followers.

The tasks that need to be completed or the rewards that may be obtained for different Renown Ranks are as follows:

There, players can even see the ghosts of friends exploring or those who have died.

Players will also face off against Nexus Princess Ky’veza.

New System

Players must keep Ve’nari eco-domes full of healthy creatures. To do this, players can bring back creatures they encountered during their explorations and help them grow, thereby bringing K’aresh back to life.

That’s all for this article. Are you ready for the arrival of Ghosts of K’aresh?

Dune: Awakening has only been released for a few months, but it’s already established itself as a representative of the action-survival MMO genre and has a solid reputation. It demonstrates strong momentum.

However, the game has recently been struggling with declining ratings. Even after the developers addressed the controversial chopper-heavy endgame, the decline hasn’t been stopped.

The root cause is a bug that has deeply frustrated players. The developers have previously released multiple patches to address these issues and prevent hackers from attacking.

However, the game’s vandalism has been a persistent problem. For example, some players have used ornithopter blades to vandalize other players’ bases, while others have deliberately pushed other players’ vehicles, putting them in danger of being torn apart by worms.

Of course, there are also cases where these malicious players are the same group. However, it’s undeniable that these actions have caused inconvenience for other players, especially those who prefer PvE gameplay.

With some issues already troubling players unresolved, the game has recently received some more negative news.

The game officially announced that it will temporarily disable Family Sharing on Steam.

What Does Family Sharing Look Like?

Family Sharing combines all existing family-centric features, allowing up to six members to play together. It allows players to control the types of games each family member plays and the amount of time they play.

Family Sharing also allows players to access games owned by other family members. Family members can play games with each other.

How Can Players Exploit Family Sharing To Cheat In Dune?

Playing The Same Game With Multiple Accounts

This allows players to create multiple Steam accounts and exploit Family Sharing to play Dune: Awakening on different accounts without having to pay multiple times.

This setup allows players to manipulate rankings by using alternate accounts, such as winning or losing games on different accounts to increase their ranking or progress.

Artificial Level Boosting

Some players use this feature to allow high- and low-skilled players to collaborate in the game, allowing experts to lead beginners in matches and artificially boost their levels or achievements.

Banning Poses No Threat To Cheaters

If a player’s primary account is banned for cheating or other reasons, they can use Family Sharing to access the game from another account. This makes the cost of cheating very low, which, to some extent, encourages cheating.

How Do Game Developers Respond?

Game developers have decided to temporarily disable this feature because they have discovered that some players are frequently abusing it, compromising the fairness of the game.

The game developers have sincerely apologized to players who have used this feature legitimately and have pledged to actively improve it and aim to re-enable it within the year.

For players who have been confirmed to have cheated using Family Sharing, game officials will take direct action, banning their accounts and remove those Dune: Awakening Solaris they obtained through cheats.

As the game developers worked diligently to eliminate cheating and improve the gaming environment, the game’s ratings began to recover.

In short, Family Sharing has both advantages and disadvantages. To maintain a fair and stable gaming environment, the game developers were forced to disable it. Players who legitimately used the feature suffered undeserved consequences. We hope the game developers can address the issue of cheating exploited by this feature as soon as possible and enable it as soon as possible.
