FairFight

1 review

It might be hard to believe, but 12 percent of online multiplayer gamers use cheats regularly. This ultimately leads to a vast majority of players less likely to play the game and nearly half of the players buying less in-game content because of cheaters in the game. Cheating does not only impact the gaming community, but also the game developers, their reputation and revenue streams. Resolving this issue requires a comprehensive solution. Client-side anti-cheats are generally seen as the go-to option to defend against cheaters. But despite their extensive use, these solutions are not foolproof. Cheat developers can find ways to bypass client-side anti-cheats, and unless the anti-cheat developer regularly updates its detection methods, cheaters may persist in playing without being detected. This is where i3D.net comes in with FairFight, the ultimate server-side statistics-based engine to battle cheating in real-time. FairFight offers: Server-side anti-cheat - FairFight is non-invasive and resides on a dedicated server, collecting, processing and communicating gameplay events with your game server via API. It does this in real-time and therefore catches cheating as it occurs with 99.96% accuracy. Game integrity system - FairFight is a rule-based engine with automated action sets when cheating is detected. At its core, it is a player behavior detection platform with fully customizable responses to unwanted behavior, allowing you to battle cheating in creative ways, not only through outright banning. Statistical analysis - FairFight utilizes data collected from all gameplay events, analyzes it and compares it against averages derived from all of the gamers playing your game, flagging any anomalies in the gameplay. This methodology leaves almost no space for false-positives. Platform agnostic - FairFight can protect any game genre built on any game engine. It can also protect any integrated API, whether it's PC, console or mobile. With Unity and Unreal Engine plugins, you can start protecting your gaming community with FairFight immediately, starting today! And much more!

i3D Content Delivery Network

0 reviews

A CDN reduces the download times for your content, by distributing it across multiple geographic locations. While your main site or game is still hosted by your own (origin) server, copies of your content such as images, file downloads, and patches can be stored (cached) closer to the user. This content can be cached in advance at the extreme entry points of a network (edge servers). Thereby, download times are reduced by bringing the content as close to the user as possible. i3D.net's CDN offers: Global Presence - With server spread over 60+ points of presence on 6 continents, we can provide you with a unique 27+ Tbps network, focused on low latency. Edge cache-warming - Minimize the disruption of DLC or post-installation downloads for your players. Upload them in advance to our edge servers through cache warming.   Dynamic Image resizing - While publishing image dimensions in a URL path, Dynamic Image resizing allows you to extract image dimensions and resize images to whatever form, shape or whatever aspect ratio you prefer.
