Recently, the security team of Tencent's shooting game "Delta Operation" issued a special announcement, declaring a comprehensive crackdown on cheating software known as "AI visual adhesion" that has been spreading recently. This type of cheat uses AI visual recognition technology to assist in aiming, and has severely affected the high-level competitive balance within the game.

Technical principles show that this type of cheat usually avoids traditional cheating methods such as reading game memory or modifying files. Instead, it uses live streaming software like OBS to capture real-time video, identifies target positions through pre-trained AI models, and converts the results into physical mouse movement commands to achieve high-precision automatic aiming and adhesion. In response to this cheating method, the official of "Delta Operation" emphasized that any behavior using AI models for competitive assistance is defined as a serious violation, and the detection scope is not limited to memory modification.

Currently, the security team has completed the feature extraction of the core plugins of this type of cheat through reverse engineering and has officially deployed targeted detection solutions. The official stated that accounts confirmed to use this type of AI visual cheat will be banned for ten years and permanently added to a blacklist. At the same time as the technical countermeasures, Tencent has collaborated with law enforcement agencies to initiate criminal prosecution procedures against the production, dissemination, and sales chain of this cheat, and relevant persons will face criminal prosecution.

With the popularity of computer vision technology, the game black industry is showing a trend of being more covert and AI-driven. This strong countermeasure by Tencent not only demonstrates the latest breakthroughs in the "AI vs AI" technology field in the gaming industry, but also sends a clear signal to the industry that it is firmly opposing the abuse of technology and maintaining digital copyright and fair competition environments through legal means.
