If gameguard isn't stopping bots

[Malix]

then why do we have it?

[Xyda]

To give us all new problems like Error 4049, 4045 etc. that we didn't have before so we can't play the game.

 

Duuuuuuh.

Gameguard is notoriously easy to bypass, but it's a struggle for developers to handle the security issues regardless. Even if you make your game perfectly unhackable -- a wholly infeasible task, mind you -- bots will still exist by simulating input. Having some defense is usually viewed as better than nothing.

 

Alas, this error soup is delicious and quite unlimited. I think I may go have more of it.
