Anti-cheat system
Anxy
I think vrchat needs an anti-cheat something like Steam’s vac or battle eye or another type of system. I’ve noticed more and more users are using modified clients to crash other users. This started whenthe last update let users block shaders and animations. If one of these anti-cheat systems are implemented it could possibly get rid of some of these toxic users and might lead even more players to feel safer in public worlds.

VRChat introduced Easy Anti-Cheat in update 2022.2.2 (The VRChat Security Update).

Just to add to this using an anti-cheat could also prevent avatar theft by detecting programs like ninja ripper....

why would you need an anticheat? vrchat is not a game that can be won

Kitty Kat: its not for "winning" there are actually alot of people who use modified clients that can do some dumb stuff for instance such as logging everyone in the room out..... kinda gets annoying.

I do public worlds extensively and I never meet any crashers anymore. I also never, ever join The Pug, VRC home, or Avatar Testing. I get that there are people out there doing this stuff, but it seems like you only run into them if you're going to the most public and popular places. People hyper-exaggerate how bad it is. It shouldn't happen at all for sure, but if you're getting crashed often I suggest visiting other popular worlds or joining instances a few down the list instead of going for the most populated ones.
tl;dr If you want to get the public experience join instances and worlds that aren't prime crasher bait. We don't need invasive anti-cheat that slows/spies your pc while playing an intensive VR game that sucks up CPU like no other.

Kush Meyer: vr social game "dont go to popular public places" isnt really a good answer now is it.......?

It is absolutely terrifying to be in public worlds, I feel that at any given moment someone could walk up to you and steal your avatar and crash you with little to no reprocussions for them. Even if there is an anticheat, since the game is free they could just create a new steam account and re install the game and continue doing this. Not only do we NEED and anti cheat but that anti cheat also needs to ban HARDWARE ID’S eliminating the possibility of a player using a VPN to evade IP bans and just creating new accounts to evade bans as well.
