ASUS Driver Retraction

Jason "DarkReaper" Rodzik who helped organize the No Cheating Drivers Petition forwards an email that was issued by ASUS regarding the future of the cheating drivers, along with information for server operators on how to combat them:

Dear sir,

Thanks for your kindly reminding! To respect the preferences of the majority of our customers and users around the world, ASUS will disable “see-through” capability in all future graphics drivers. Although ASUS did not officially release the “see-through” feature in the current 11.01, 12.00 and 12.10 drivers, this feature-enhancing codes were enabled by non-ASUS programmers and posted on various unauthorized websites.

ASUS recognizes that these features may offer unfair competitive advantages for some users and will take actions to curtail the use of these drivers. All codes related to these features will be removed in all future versions (Version 12.40 and up) to prevent any further tampering that may enable “see-through”. ASUS will also provide a way for web hosts to detect and disable “see-through” functionality.

How to Detect and Disable “See-through” Mode
This method of detection is intended for web hosts of online games.
Web hosts should enumerate all keys (0000, 0001, etc.) under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemCurrentControlSetServicesClassDisplay" and do the following patches.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemCurrentControlSetServicesClassDisplayXXXXUI]
"DisableD3dWireframe"=dword:00000001
"DisableOglWireframe"=dword:00000001
"DisableOglTransparent"=dword:00000001
We respect the opinions of all our customers and thank you for bringing this issue to our attention.

Best Regards,
