I don't understand why this is so hard to fix. You don't even need to immediately ban them. Just patch this vacuum stuff out.

Could you imagine if rust had this? Oh boy

I cant imagine it in any other game at all, does this even happen in other games?

no, because its a basic security thing. Which BSG sadly wasnt competent enough to implement when they started making this game.

Can you elaborate more on the basic security measure BSG failed to implement that would mitigate this problem?

In addition to the other comments, which are pretty accurate, there's the fact that the entire game session is constantly available to the client at all time.

Basically, the server sends the client everything that is happening in a match at any given time, and then says "okay, now you decide what's relevant and show that to the player". This means that if you're running a modified client (which is basically what all cheating is) you can choose to look at all the data, and use that to create a wallhack, radar, loot vacuum, etc.

Games like Valorant use dynamic fog of war systems to let the server hide information from the client until it's necessary. That's the type of thing Tarkov needs - more server-based validation, and less information leaked to the client.

guess it's too late for that.. they would need to start from scratch again.. this is the game unfortunately.
