Much of this preloading takes place before the game starts in all modern FPS (your 'loading screen'), so it's not an issue. The solution is to preload it so that the computer has it ready to draw. When a model 'pops' into a 3D scene, it can bring a little lag. The server HAS to tell the client when they can hear someone walking, and roughly where they are, and a lot of good players relying on the sound being accurate (do you play with the volume up so you can hear tiny footsteps among a firefight? I know I do).ģ) Just about to appear. Apart from that, there's nothing you can do. you can play with the sound position a little to obscure where it's coming from and still sound the same to a player, so it messes with a wallhack but not with a good player). Still, you can already hear them (or could, if you had 3D sound turned on anyway), and there are measures to defeat simple wallhacks (i.e. A wallhack can often sneakily use this information to DRAW THEM on the screen where the sound is, through the wall. With 3D positional audio, you can hear them and tell where they are. Therefore, a wallhack is pointless and does nothing.Ģ) Hearing them. You can see them, on your screen, from your current viewpoint. footsteps) or when they are JUST ABOUT to appear around a corner.ġ) Seeing them. Most FPS games send data on a player to you only when you can see them, when you can hear them (i.e. There's certainly no 'magic button' that will turn a wallhacking player into an invincible monster (other hacks, maybe, but not wallhacks). Now, there's a couple of tricks but you'll see that actually a wallhack isn't that useful compared to just being good at the game.

And most game engines will NOT transmit any data about enemies precisely to stop such wallhacking. You can't 'see through walls' and spot someone who the server doesn't tell you where they are.

I know that I often can tell where the enemy is coming from just by silence on the maps and things like that.Īnd the primary defence against a wallhack is to NOT provide to the client any information about players they cannot see.

What you think is a wallhack is probably just a good player predicting (or even lucking out) your moves. Most wallhacks don't actually give you that much.
