Spartan AntiCheat & AntiExploit v4.0.8.8

News:

• The Cloud features have shown to be useful for everyone and in many ways. This update allows me to set configuration changes via the Cloud for customers individually, which will help save time for everyone, but also make the customer experience even better than it already is.
• The Cloud Developer Report feature used to offer a command without arguments. This version of the command was removed due to it being inefficient and confusing. This update introduces this version of command back, which should be used by new customers, and will automatically find problematic checks and report them.

News:

• Spartan users can access the Manage Checks inventory menu and receive recommendations by the Configuration Recommendations feature. With this update, this feature will also do an analysis for problematic detections and let you know if you need to modify something to improve stability. In addition, the False Positive Detection feature will dynamically support problematic detections.
• In the past a cache implementation was attempted in the Spartan Location object but it did not work as expected. This update introduces a cache with a better design that will decrease the time a location takes to be retrieved by huge percentages.

News:

• This update corrects false positives caused by the checks listed on the update’s title.

Corrected a Math utilities overflow console error and a Combat Processing handler null-pointer console error.
