Why is DBD's anti cheating system so flawed?
I don't get it. How does their system allow someone's client to register using all the perks they want, even with modified stats, and not detect anything?
Or how hard is actually to make a system that can detect that a survivor is moving over their speed cap when there are no modifiers at play like a perk, health state loss, or killer power like clowns?
Or a system that can detect a ghost face flying around the map throwing huntress hatchets?

A anticheat system very much works on the basis of codes. It can be made to identify irregularities which respond to those cheats and stop them.
However, cheat creators will be constantly trying to update their coding and will develop new code which effectively will do the same type of action, but otherwise be completely unidentifiable to anticheat softwate. Once these cheats are discovered, the people who do the anticheat will update it and the process repeats in circles again.
Basically, anticheat is always playing catchup. The only time this may change is if AI is developed so that it constantly learns to identify new code and acts quicker. Until then, this will always be the way. That's why the number of cheats about comes in waves, then lulls. It's why somebody's antivirus has to be constantly updated. It's how it is currently.
