Warface Confirms the Reliability of StarForce’s MMOG for Protection Against Bots and Cheats

20.02.2015

Crytek Corp, the developer of the Warface multiplayer game, commended the hacker resistance of StarForce MMOG solution, which was introduced in 2012 to protect gameplay against cheating that can unfairly benefit a player. The solution, developed by StarForce, not only protects Warface from cheats and bots applications, but also allows to control local game servers.

Warface is an AAA-class online first-person shooter (MMOFPS). The total number of players is more than 30 million. It's the most popular game among the Russian-speaking audience. The publishers and localizers of the game are large companies like Mail.Ru Group (Russia), Tencent Holdings (China, Taiwan, and Saskatchewan), and Trion Worlds (North America, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand). “We began to use StarForce MMOG in beta. It allowed us to avoid many troubles associated with vulnerabilities in the game that could be exploited for fraud and violation of the game balance”, said Stanislav Spivakov, Technical Director at Crytek Kiev. “We have not detected any successful hacks of StarForce protection since the launch of Warface”.

StarForce MMOG was created as a multi-level, complex solution developed to protect MMO games against cheats and bots. It ensures that the gaming servers cannot be run on unauthorized platforms. It protects the game code against reverse engineering, cracking and modification and secures the traffic between a client and a server.
