It's good to understand the problem, but I don't see anyone wanting to find workarounds. Is that normal?

So, if someone solves the cheating problem, they're a genius. We need a genius.
Guys, if there's a genius reading this, please respond.

So, are you on the side of the Jedi or the Sith, warrior? Or are you for the yin yang and the harmony of good and evil?

We're on the same side as for the rails. But cheaters are rushing to our side. Although you are older and more experienced, I see hopelessness in your mood. It's kind of like realism, but something new is born along with mistakes. And the saddest thing is that I don't see people charged with ideas, ready to declare their ideas.
In science, candidates for doctors become people who know everything perfectly within science.
A doctoral degree is defended when something new is brought to science.
I see that no one wants to bring anything new. Everything is based on old recipes.
Personally, it does not seem to me that with so many modern opportunities, we cannot go beyond the limits of the known.
The question here is more about the desire. And most importantly, there is nothing more than desire.

A little about lost motivation:

we tried all workarounds...

When the elephant was young, they tied him to a solid wooden post.
He pulled with all his strength, day after day, but the post never moved.
Eventually he stopped trying.

Years later, the elephant, grown strong enough to break trees,
no longer needed the post — just a small stake in the ground held the elephant.
And still the elephant didn’t test it.

that doesn't help if the cheat isnt even running on the same pc anymore. furthermore you are no authority to enforce 3rd party software to play on your servers, the solution for most simple players is to just not use your servers if a 3rd party software is required.you need to go to IDsoftware/Bethesda/Microsoft and buy the q3 IP rights, then release a point release 1.33 to enforce anything. until then everyone cooks their own soup.
also you can't just decide this or that is cheat. let me give you an example of mouseclicks. imagine a mouseclick is between 1 and 1000 millisecond, which values would you determine as cheating and which you determine as absolutely clear.
if you want the simple answer, xp_anticheatlevel 3 protects against over 50% of autoshoots and aimbots with an automated kick, you only need to automate scanning your server log. you are welcome.

What I'm trying to say is that you've tried this for a long time. Today, there are many more possibilities.
This doesn't mean that fundamental prohibitions are now resolved, but perhaps there are other workarounds and possible scenarios.

About my motivation:

Personally, I'm still interested in competing today.
But I don't see a good platform for it. A server could be created. But what's the point if most of the old, good players just want to play, not rack their brains trying to find cheaters?
There are still guys who want to compete. Every old player who played with me wanted to compete. But no one feels that connection anymore. There's nothing that unites people in the desire to compete.
Why is there no desire to compete?
I personally believe that the problem is not the lack of people's desire to compete, but the lack of desire for someone to take responsibility for creating a safe platform for competition.

What are your expectations for technical implementation in an ideal scenario, given the current reality?
