Photon Bolt: is it a viable solution for a game with a high cheating potential?
Hey, guys!
I'm working on a mobile game in which multiple players cooperate to beat levels. It's a PVE game, but players have ways to "help" other players die and drop valuable items, so the game has a cheating potential.
After some research, I found Photon Bolt which looks like the right solution because it's scalable and easy to use with Unity.
But if I got correctly from Bolt Tutorial its architecture lacks an authoritative server and all world computations (such as enemy AI) happen on the so-called master client.
Bolt promo materials claim it is capable of handling multiplayer for a game like PUBG or Fortnite - both are highly competitive games with obviously high cheating potential. Are those claims about Bolt Pro only?
Please enlighten me, bros & sis.

I think you would be better off using an anti-cheat, but that would certainly be better than a program with no cheat protection advertised. (from a noob to a mid-level dev.) :) Best of luck,
