They’ll just change the impact of the quality of the cheat. Maybe they decided that cheating is cheating, and not worth doing because you can’t fix the problem. What I’m suggesting is mitigation to make cheating less impactful. Yes, that would take forever and is near impossible. And I’m not saying that it will fix the cheaters. But when your leaderboards on multiple platforms are all infested by cheaters, yes, I’d say that’s worth putting in a fix. And I agree that in the software industry, a week of effort is an infinity in terms of cost, and only worth doing under the most dire of circumstances. Solutions can be easy, but they still end up taking time. But it’s not worth fixing because why would anyone ever attempt to do that, if the first time it tells you that you cannot do that. If you try opening up a Greater Rift in a game below 70 multiple times, the game will crash. It’s the same thing with why Echoing Nightmares are Greater Rifts can’t be loaded in a <70 game. You can either do stuff right, and take a week to get it working, or take 1 hour to put in a quick hack to prevent item trading and save importing. At the time the game came out, encryption keys weren’t broken.Īnd when it came to the PS4 & Xbox One, when non season was already compromised, it’s a simple question of what’s the easiest fix. I’m most likely guessing when the game got ported over, code was just copied over. There’s an infinite amount of things that are impossible to occur. Because yes, if you were testing for things that couldn’t happen, you could easily impact performance. There’s no reason to put in sanity checks for something that could never happen. You put in code in terms of what you feel is necessary. The game was initially designed for the PC, where you didn’t have access to saves. This is programming 101 stuff.Īs far as why there aren’t sanity checks already? That’s easy. I 100% guarantee you there are already validation checks in the code to prevent other things such as crashing on Blizzard’s end. And even in the slight chance you were talking remote loading on the PC, where calculations are done on their end, it would barely impact anything on that side too. It’s 100% Blizzard’s responsibility on this end. Different games have different save layouts.

The actual data in the save does not belong to Sony.
