The diva and I cross each other

After dealing with the semiconductor investment, Luo Ming and Rong Mu took advantage of the fact that Zhao Ningyuan was still at the company headquarters and called him over to hold a high-level meeting.

With the completion of the internal testing of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds and Peace Elite, Zhanguang Games has focused on the online launch of these two games.

Other departments of Zhuoguang Technology are also preparing for the launch of the game in advance.

Zhao Ningyuan is the person in charge of Zhuoguang Games, so it is necessary to communicate with him.

It is worth mentioning that the version license for this version of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds was approved without much effort.

You have to know that in the past life, Penguin tried every possible way to get the version number of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. I don't know how many people they asked but failed to get it. In the end, they had no choice but to give up the PC game and switch to two battle royale mobile games.

In fact, there are two reasons why Penguin failed to obtain the publishing license. The first is that the confrontation in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is too intense and there are too many bloody and violent elements.

The second reason is that this game was produced in South Korea.

The first of these two reasons can be negotiated. If it really doesn't work, just change the blood to black, and then make the background story more grand like Peace Elite.

The latter one is not negotiable. When PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds was popular, due to some unspeakable reasons, the relationship between the two sides was very tense, and it was impossible to obtain the publishing license at that time.

When Zhuoguang Games was making PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, Luo Ming told Zhao Ningyuan what to pay attention to. From the very beginning, Zhao Ningyuan set the background story of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds as a humanitarian rescue operation.

By deeply processing the game background, the violent core of some games was concealed. In addition, Zhuoguang Technology has always had a very good corporate image, so the higher-ups did not make things difficult for Zhuoguang Technology and issued version numbers for both PC and mobile games.

The biggest problem has been solved and the internal test has passed. Naturally, Zhao Ningyuan will arrange for the game to go online.

Luo Ming asked Zhao Ningyuan to come to this meeting just to discuss the details of this matter.

After all the company's senior executives arrived, Luo Ming asked directly, "Mr. Zhao, have you communicated with Penguin about the issue of PUBG cheats?"

Although Penguin has various shortcomings, it is definitely at the world's top level in terms of anti-cheating. Unless the cheats are sold internally, almost no cheats can escape Penguin's detection.

Penguin's way of dealing with 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 terminal games, which is that the CPU power consumption is relatively high.

Among them, dnf is the most prominent. No matter how high the configuration of your computer is, as long as you turn on dnf, the CPU usage rate will immediately soar to about 70%, and many computers are even above 80%. This phenomenon was slightly better before Luo Ming crossed over, but not much better.

This kind of sweeping by Penguin can indeed greatly limit, or even completely eradicate the impact of plug-ins, but the experience it brings to users is very, very bad, and many people hate TP.

However, Penguin's way of detecting plug-ins has given inspiration to many game manufacturers. If you want to eliminate plug-ins, the best way is to increase the detection methods and intensity.

Zhao Ningyuan also thought so. After communicating with Penguin, he felt that the only appropriate method was to build in cheat detection in the game PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.

"Boss, here is my plan to deal with cheating."

Zhao Ningyuan told his plan to a group of senior executives of the company. According to Zhao Ningyuan's description, the detection mechanism he added to PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds also has a disk scanning function, but it is not a comprehensive disk scan like Penguin. It only scans game-related folders, which can effectively reduce the CPU usage.

At the same time, Zhuoguang can also use cloud computing technology to record the game after it has been opened for a period of time. The video will then be uploaded to Zhuoguang's cloud service center, and the video will be screened through AI and big data to identify any traces of plug-in use.

If so, severe measures will be taken to directly block the game account related to the ID card, and permanently restrict access to all games of Zhuoguang.

With micro-scanning + cloud computing detection + such severe penalties, it should be possible to basically put an end to players cheating.

As for the situation where players use plug-ins after their accounts are 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, the Burning Light Club will give the player a chance to appeal, but this appeal opportunity is only once a year.

After listening to Zhao Ningyuan's proposal, those senior executives of Zhuoguang who did not understand technical development remained silent.

Tong Mingwei, who is familiar with technology, was the first to raise doubts: "Mr. Zhao, I think the punishment is too severe. Restricting access to all games under Zhuoguang is also a loss for Zhuoguang Games."

Luo Ming felt that this punishment was just right. If it was too light, the players would not learn their lesson.

Although Rongmu doesn't know much about technology, he understands the game. Rongmu thinks that the punishment is indeed too severe and will lead to the loss of players.

So after some discussion, everyone modified the punishment rules together.

If cheating is detected once, the account will be banned for seven days. If it is detected a second time, the account will be banned for one month and the user will be restricted from logging into all of Zhuoguang’s games for one month. If cheating is detected a third time, the account will be banned permanently and the user will be permanently restricted from logging into Zhuoguang’s games.

In Rong Mu's words, "If you don't repent after two chances, you won't be polite for the third time."

"Mr. Zhao, Mr. Tong, please cooperate with each other on this micro-scanning and cloud computing detection and try your best to get it done, is that ok?" Luo Ming asked.

"Okay, but boss, the technical issues are easy to solve. But should we tell users about the micro-scanning feature? After all, this may involve user privacy." Tong Mingwei asked.

"Of course we have to tell you. Just write the micro-scanning disk detection plug-in into the user agreement." Rong Mu said.

"Write it directly into the agreement? Is that okay? Won't it make users feel that their privacy is violated?" Zhao Ningyuan said with a frown.

"Mr. Zhao, users don't care about this kind of thing. They value the quality of the game more than these things. As long as the game quality is good enough, users will choose to play it even if they have to buy all the games." Rong Mu said with a smile. "Mr. Rong is right. Our focus should still be on the quality of the game." Luo Ming followed up.

Since both bosses said so, naturally no one else would have any objections, and the matter was settled.

Just like that, another month has passed, and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds started its final, non-delete internal beta test for all netizens.

At the same time, Zhuoguang Games cooperates with all the chain Internet cafes across the country to distribute internal testing qualifications on a large scale in Internet cafes.

It is worth mentioning that this life of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds adopted a buyout system at the beginning, just like the previous life, and the unified price on Steam is US$19.9.

If you buy it on wegame and play the domestic server, you can enjoy a 6% discount. You can get a coupon when you buy it during the non-deleted internal test, which is equivalent to half the price of the foreign server.

This was specially arranged by Luo Ming, who wanted domestic players to enjoy as many benefits as possible.

At noon that day, after lunch, Rong Mu came to Luo Ming's office: "Er Ming, are you interested in going to the Internet cafe to play?"

"Go to an Internet cafe?"

"Yes! Let's take a look at the beta data of Absolute Survival and experience the game at the same time."

"That's fine. I don't have anything to do this afternoon." Luo Ming thought about it and agreed.

"Okay, I'll go get someone."

"Call someone? Who should I call?" Luo Ming asked after a moment of surprise.

"PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is a game for four people to play in a team! I'll go get Tong Mingwei and Su Qing."

"Su Qing? Does she also play this game?" Luo Ming asked with some surprise.

"Hehe! Erming, to be honest with you, we have already started playing PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds a long time ago and often play together." Rong Mu said with a smile.

"That's great. Take me to experience our company's first PC game."

Ten minutes later, Luo Ming, Rong Mu, Tong Mingwei, and Su Qing, four senior executives, slacked off together and left early.

Rong Mu drove the four people to a chain Internet cafe 2.6 kilometers away from the company headquarters.

As soon as he entered the Internet cafe, Luo Ming saw the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" playing on the big screen in front of the bar.

At this time, there were many people standing around the big screen. Some were customers who came to surf the Internet, some had logged off but had not left, and some were here to play with friends who had not logged on. From time to time, there would be a burst of low whispers.

A third-person shooting game is playing on the big screen.

The PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds in this life, judging from the graphics and art style, is actually quite different from the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds in the previous life.

Compared to the previous version of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, this version of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds looks more realistic and the character lines are more rigid.

This art style will make the game more immersive, but the corresponding cost will also be better.

"Fuck, this guy has killed more than 20 people, right? How did he do it?"

"The gap between people is too big. I don't think I can kill 20 people even if I cheat!"

"This guy is completely different from the one who just won the game. The one just now was just a coward, but this guy is just a pervert! The ultimate pervert!"

"There are 4 people left, 3 left! Fuck, one person destroyed the team, that's amazing!"

"It seems that only a pervert can win in this game!"

"Ding Dong~ Congratulations to player yyds for winning the game with 22 kills. He is currently ranked first in the leaderboard."

"Boss, this is an activity we have launched together with these Internet cafe chains. As long as you win the game, you will get rewards. If you can stay at the top of the kill list, you can also receive 500 cash or 1000 internet fees." Tong Mingwei explained.

Luo Ming nodded and looked into the Internet cafe.

In fact, Zhuoguang has been promoting PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds since the first test ended, and Luo Ming himself has seen it on Toutiao and Neihan Duanzi.

However, online publicity is just publicity after all, and no one knows what the real effect is.

Nowadays, more than half of the people in Internet cafes are playing PUBG, and some are standing in front of the big screen watching the fun, which shows that this game is still quite attractive.

This is one of the reasons why Luo Ming came to the Internet cafe in person. He wanted to see for himself how the players accepted this game. (End of this chapter)
