Sorry to say. There are cheat solutions that can ingest video and emulate keyboard/mouse over usb to pretend to be the user. The kernel driver cheat detection might be able to detect this by only supporting keyboard or mouse device IDs on a whitelist? The cheaters could pretend to be one of those too.

We can barely make cars drive themselves with pure vision. I don't think one of these bots is going to make it out of silver league in competitive overwatch. Maybe for a game like counterstrike where it's 100% hitscan you have a stronger argument for machine vision pulling the trigger on an AWP placed on a corner.

Complexity and pacing of gameplay is going to eventually have to be one hedge against AI. It's effectively a continuous captcha.

I have no idea how well these things work right now, but they likely will get better over time.

Terrible bots can still spoil fun, for some of these people that is the only goal.

Such cheat is more of an aim assist, never intended be a full bot. And it would surely give you an advantage in overwatch, which i believe have snipers/hitscan weapons in it.

Are these widespread? Easily available? Because yhats the difference. For any major gane you can google and enter your cregit card details and have a kernel level cheat installed in less than 10 minutes.

There are cheat systems that run on a *different computer*. It is not a battle that can be won.
