What other way were they supposed to do it? I agree that this is definitely not the ideal circumstance to make it, but probably the only way without source code, so either we wait another year or two for SkyBox to make an overlay, or we will have to do it ourselves. As long as the creators are careful with who they share the overlay, I think this is good. If indeed it is easily done, then who says people haven't done this before? At least now we know there is a problem that needs to be fixed, that's the first step to actually fixing it.So I've posted the same comment on reddit too....but how the hell is creating a way to cheat helpful? This is not a good creation if it can be so easily done. You must have spectator overlay madness to think this is a good thing. It's completely done the wrong way.
I think it's a big problem, HD currently has literally no anti-cheat systems and when there are cheaters and they are reported, they won't get banned.So I've posted the same comment on reddit too....but how the hell is creating a way to cheat helpful?

i wanna point out that at least the system im using is also working on voobly and almost impossible to prevent without completely changing the game. it has nothing to do with it being HD or voobly, its an inherent problem with all multiplayergames that work via shared simulation. all kinds of additional anti-cheat systems i currently know of would make this harder, but by no means impossible if u know what ure doing.
i do think its better to make something like it for streamers. it at least shows issues in the games data security and provides it to streamers. cheaters would do there own version anyways.

well if there isn't any for cheaters yet, soon there will be as they have idea about it+ you said it isn't even that hard to make
I guess it can be possible to create a program that locks down any files that are needed for this. So that the general public cant abuse.
even if other people allready managed to do stuff like overlays etc, i highly doubt that its a lot or that it has massive impact. luckyly for us as a community, even if u have all the overlayinfo its still a hard game to play.
im pretty sure openage wouldnt solve this too. as far as i know they use a shared simulation model too.
