Chapter 274 Game version number and plug-ins
The focus of the game department is on "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" and "Peace Elite".
Other parts of Xingyuan are also preparing in advance for the launch of the game.
Among them, Jia Ting from the Legal Department is responsible for communicating with the superiors to determine the version numbers of these two games.
In the previous life, Penguin spent a lot of effort on the version number of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds". I don't know how many people found it but couldn't get it.
In the end, I had no choice but to give up the PC game and make two battle royale mobile games.
There are two reasons why Penguin failed to win the version number. The first is because the confrontation of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" is too strong and there are too many bloody and violent elements.
The second reason is because this game is produced by Bangzi Country.
The first of these two reasons is negotiable. If you really can't change the blood to black, just set the background story to be more advanced.
The latter one is non-negotiable. When "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" became popular, due to some unspeakable reasons, the relationship between China and Bangzi Kingdom dropped to a freezing point.
At that time, the superiors banned all aspects of Bangzi Country’s game culture industry from entering China.
As long as it's a game from Bangzi Country, it's impossible to get a version number.
If "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" was developed by Penguin itself, the superiors wouldn't be so stuck on them, and the version number would be released no matter what.
This is indeed the case. Two months later, after Xingyuan repeatedly changed the background story of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" and some internal details, the superiors issued version numbers to the two games.
The biggest problem is solved, and the next thing to deal with is the plug-in problem.
Penguin’s solution to plug-ins is to install a system called TP in the player’s computer. This system will scan the computer when the game is started. This leads to a characteristic of Penguin’s client games, which is that it affects the CPU.
The power consumption is relatively high.
Among them, dnf is the most prominent. No matter how high-configuration your computer is, as long as dnf is turned on, the CPU usage will immediately soar to about 70%, and even more than 80% on many computers.
Penguin's scanning can indeed greatly limit or even completely eliminate the influence of cheating.
But the experience it brings to users is very, very poor, and many people hate TP deeply.
Luo Fan would not do this kind of thing of self-destructing the Great Wall, but Penguin's behavior gave Luo Fan a wake-up call.
The best way to eliminate cheats is to increase detection methods and intensity.
At present, it seems that the only suitable method is to build in cheat detection in the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds".
This detection mechanism also has a disk scanning function, but it does not scan the disk comprehensively like Penguin. It only scans game-related folders.
This way the CPU usage won't be too high.
At the same time, Xingyuan can also use cloud computing technology to record the game after it has been launched for a period of time. The recording will then be uploaded to Xingyuan's cloud service center, and big data will be used to screen the recordings to find out whether there are any traces of the use of plug-ins.
If there is, severe measures will be taken to directly block the game account related to the ID card, and permanently restrict login to all Xingyuan games.
With micro-scanning and cloud computing detection, such severe punishment should be able to basically eliminate players from cheating.
As for the situation where a player uses a plug-in after his account is stolen, as long as it is confirmed that the IP address is different from the commonly used IP, or the player can provide corresponding evidence, Xingyuan Club will give the player an opportunity to appeal, but this appeal opportunity is only once a year.
Luo Fan told Xingyuan's senior management of his plan, but those who didn't understand technology development didn't say anything. Xu Jiale thought for a moment and felt that the punishment was too harsh. Restricting access to all games under Xingyuan would also be a loss to Xingyuan.
Wang Jing thinks that this kind of punishment is just right. If it is too light, the players will not remember it long. If it is too heavy, it is not appropriate, but forever is indeed a bit harsh.
After some discussion, Luo Fan modified the punishment rules.
If cheating is detected once, the account will be banned for seven days. If cheating is detected for the second time, the account will be banned for one month and the login to all Xingyuan games will be restricted for one month. The third cheating will be permanent and the login to Xingyuan's games will be permanently restricted.
.
Again and again, not again, not three!
This time, everyone agreed with Luo Fan's plan.
"Mr. Wang, can you handle the communication between the micro-scanner and cloud computing?" Luo Fan asked.
"Yes, but it's easy for the boss to talk about the technical issues. Should we tell the users about the micro-scan disk? After all, this may involve the user's privacy."
"Of course I have to say it, just write the micro-scan disk detection plug-in into the user agreement." Luo Fan said.
"Is this okay?"
"Mr. Wang, users don't care about this kind of thing. They value the quality of the game more than these things. As long as the quality of the game is good enough, users will choose to continue playing even if they are fully scanned." Xu Jiale said.
"Mr. Xu is right, our focus should still be on the quality of the game." Luo Fan continued.
After discussing the issue of game plug-ins, Luo Fan turned to Gao Meng and asked: "Mr. Gao, how is the situation at Kuwo Music?"
"Everything goes well. Mr. Zhang has completely taken over Kuwo Music, and all the music copyrights of Kuwo Music have been cleared."
“What about the upgrade and reform of Kuwo Music?”
"It has already started. Last week, Kuwo Music and Xiaopo Station and Neihan Duanzi completed data synchronization. Some of Xiaopo Station's original and cover songs can be retrieved on Kuwo Music.
And all the music copyrights of Kuwo Music are also open to Xiaopozhan and Neihan Duanzi."
"Well, how much copyright does Kuwo Music have?"
"Not too much, only accounting for about 10% of the popular music on the market, but..."
"But what?" Luo Fan asked.
“The day before yesterday, Mr. Zhang told me that Kugou Music and several other music companies came to Kuwo Music to discuss cooperation matters.
They want to join forces with Kuwo Music to create a copyright company covering Asian popular music, and then everyone will share the benefits brought by music copyright."
"This should be a good thing for us, right? Being able to share so much music copyright, isn't it pie in the sky?" Xu Jiale asked.
"It's not that simple. If we want to join this group, everything we own must be divided into this company."
"What about other companies' music copyrights?" Luo Fan asked.
"Similarly, the music copyrights of all companies must be placed in this company and then shared by everyone."
"Is it possible for us to control this company?" Luo Fan continued to ask.
