[EN] 🚚 Horizon Dispatch · Patch 0.7.3

Everything that changed since 0.7.1: new Horizon Shield anti-cheat, v0.7.3 software, website, VTC dashboard, bot and performance.

🛡️ Horizon Shield: the new anti-cheat

The old anti-cheat is replaced by Horizon Shield, a complete server-side verified protection.

🔍 Checks

• abnormal speed, teleportations (outside ferry and train), declared distance compared to driven distance;
• accelerated playtime, frozen or inconsistent telemetry, duplicates, modified deliveries, multiple or replayed sessions.

✅ Verified deliveries

• Each delivery is verified, normal, flagged, quarantined or blocked.
• "Verified delivery" label on the delivery, trips and profile, with verified km.
• A quarantined delivery is automatically re-checked.
• Above 145 km/h: quarantine and warning, in VTC as well as in solo.
• Blocked deliveries count nowhere (profiles, achievements, challenges, seasons, rankings, objectives, API).

🔐 In the software

• secure session and signed telemetry, impossible to replay;
• works offline: telemetry is sent when the connection returns;
• software and update integrity verified, new Horizon Shield map.

⚖️ Transparency and appeals

• Driver Horizon Shield page: status and reasons for each delivery, trust score, sanctions.
• "Appeal" button on each blocked or quarantined delivery: in the software (message, notification, Deliveries screen), on the dashboard and in VTC deliveries.
• Security Panel for VTC managers: held deliveries, alerts, review requests.
• Discord report with the route map and Appeal button; no more role ping.
• Public /shield page.
