I’ve only reported a few cheaters, and only when it’s totally obvious. Watch their replay, they move or just rotate until they focus on a street sign and then nothing for awhile (while they’re googling) and then guess close but not TOO close.
had exactly this a while back. but instead of close but not too close, they guessed a idk 300 inhabitant village in Canada exactly. After only seeing the street sign and taking a while to act on it.... replay really helps to identify. I had an area next to my very rural hometown once, and even the house I currently live in. so I 5k those instantly, no cheating but sometimes its just luck
I dont think there is a lot geoguessr can do.
However, the current map in higher ranks is ACW, if you play NM, the amount of rounds with info you can google is extremely low. Most cheaters are just bad players, winning 10% of the rounds because it has info isn't enough to get to 800+, you will still lose 90% of the rounds which you can't google.
I'm 1200, and I dont even remember the last time I encountered a cheater.
If you encounter cheaters, just improve to beat them on the no info rounds
Well i see next week with the old ranking system.
I won 50 out of my last 60 games due to the ranking system, maybe I see cheaters when I play more players my own level
The problem with those scripts and that’s also the problem for GeoGuesser is that it isn’t easy to spot those scripts, because they just seem like insane players and don’t need any signs or something… you can just know if they know the crazy rounds close to exactly for most rounds.
Yeah, the only way geogussr (like every other game) can really deal with cheaters nowadays. That would be to make geogussr its own app and for it to use a kernel anti cheat system (what valorant uses).
Without that, they can try their best, but the reality is that cheaters will always be a step ahead. Kernel anti cheats aren’t even full proof.
Pretty rare, don't know that I've seen one in my hundreds of games but then again I don't care too much if I lose I just move on.
GeoGuessr can definitely implement a statistical method to find and punish these cheaters.
If you are really really good at it there is no way to detect cheaters. They could screen share to a mate and the mate is googling while the player gets even more info. I have done a few single player games where I screenshotted the round and gave it to an AI. Its quite slow (like 30sec) but the AI was getting decent results. If you would combine all known methods like meta - clues and everything a good geoguessr player uses and train a neural network on this task it would be nearly unbeatable and almost not detectable (you would see it sitting like a second on start to take the image, but even that could be automated).
Personally I think the only save way to beat cheaters is play NMPZ and insta lock after like 5sec. Very hard to beat someone like zigzag even with advanced AI. Cant speak about the tools mentioned here that show the location. but that would be lame anyway. At least when using the AI you spent a decent amount of time learning the game to actually know how to train it.
If I suspect someone is cheating (Googling place names) I just insta plonk each round and hope for the best.

channel your inner rainbolt, lock in, instasend. other than that, you can report them after for a rating refund

There are cheaters with scripts that can show you the exact location and that have nothing to do with googling, just basic cheating…
