Exploit Prevention Update

Because the ‘anti-tamper’ was designed around a detection-first idea that completely failed now that they’re not even allowed to ban people anymore. The mindset seemed to be “well if we can’t prevent them, at least detect them!” and it totally fell flat thanks to Roblox now having a “no bans for exploiters” policy. I wish I was making this up but I’m not. It’s only going to get worse.

@Bitdancer You guys got a database with logs of user that exploited, can’t you just ban all of them, or is it already that big that it would impact roblox in a bad way ?

At this point, it is clear that one ban policy for all is not an ideal solution. We are working on a more nuanced approach.

@Bitdancer Yeah, one ban policy isn’t an ideal solution, but it is still a solution. Byfron failed again, and exploiters use now use spoofers and other tools to bypass detection and bans. From what I’ve heard, you guys got a database of users that exploited. There needs to be something done against it; when joining any game, you will see people that exploit. I reported exploiters who even use the Roblox chat for exploits, and they never got banned or warned. This is a problem; I don’t see any reason why Roblox doesn’t take these domains and servers down by the legal way. There are Discord servers with over 100k members for Roblox exploits; sending non-legal / legal [subpoena] emails to Discord / ICANN or domain registrars should often solve this, but they’re still up. There needs to be something done.

Wait are you serious? There is a “don’t ban exploiters” policy?? Then what was the entire point of having the Synapse X developers work with Roblox? Couldn’t they just bypass the garbage anti-cheat and continue earning money? Lol

Roblox detects them, if someone reports them they will be banned else it will happen in a ban wave. As bitdancer said above :

About the Bitdancer Part (Creator of Synapse X), as you see he is here. I don’t know if Roblox Paid them, sued them or other but it doesn’t matter. It is not allowed to exploit, anything can be bypassed but also detected. There will be always exploits and they will be always detected.

@Bitdancer Any updated ?

none of these exploits are close to bypassing hyperion

You can’t know that, they can’t bypass detection but the anti cheat itself they can.

Roblox doesn’t have an anti-cheat

Oh gosh, Roblox uses Hyperion (Byfron) as an anti cheat.

Hyperion is an anti-tamper. Anticheat stops cheats like speed and flight

They are aware and these things are already detected, they will be banned eventually.

How are you gonna call me stupid when even the developer of hyperion says it’s not an anti-cheat

I know these methods are detected. But Hyperion’s job is to stop cheaters—not just banning them so they could immediately create another account and continue cheating.

At this point we should considering a temporary hardware ban for players who get banned multiple times for cheating. This would stop them from rejoining the game for a while giving them a chance to change. Allowing game developers to issue these temporary bans could also help. Cheating is a serious issue and many players including myself have quit games because of it. Measures like this could make the game more fair and improve the experience for everyone in my opinion.
