EPTjust wondering when the head in the sand approach will end?
I guess when someone gets caught? Why wait until then to come up with a solution?
Will the community ever deal with maphacking?

AS people don't think it's going on at all. | ||

We are not the people in charge. The only thing the community can do is being indignant at maphacking. Which we are. It's up to the tournament organizers or Blizzard to remedy the problem. | ||

The only way to realistically solve this is to have the entire game stored server-side, and literally have only what you can see be sent to your client by the server. While we may be approaching computing that is fast enough to do this in a seamless way, the vast majority of residential connections are no where close to being able to handle something like that, as it stands now. Really the only way to PROACTIVELY stop maphacking is to wait for residential bandwidth to increase. I'd be surprise if this occurred a lot in online tournaments of any level worth talking about, but I'm sure it has happened. Blizzard (and any tournament organizers) can only reactively ban people. | ||

Two monitors would be an easy workaround. Edit: Streaming only one of them of course. | ||

If the public want a stream too, theirs should be on a couple minute delay, if that's possible. It has already been said, but you could just stream a monitor w/o maphack and use one that does have it. | ||

So make them open graphics options live on stream with no interruptions? also invasive measures have been used in the past. A passive attitude is silly. | ||

I would just load my module into a valid process and send the relevant data to another PC, so even if I would stream a monitor setup that shows only 1 monitor is connected you wouldn't be able to tell. | ||

There will always be maphackers and the community isn't exactly in control of a whole lot... | ||

I don't like it but I don't exactly have the coding knowledge to fill the holes... isn't that what people at blizzard are paid for? | ||
