Server authoritative multiplayer system (server only takes player inputs and spits out results, making editing data impossible), with a lag prediction system clientside, works wonders. Aimbotting will always exist, but detection should be server side.

1: VR motion sickness is an issue some people get, unfortunately. It happens if you have a mind that refuses to acknowledge and accept conflicting information from your inner ears and your eyes… which people with motion sickness often have. When you try to “push” yourself to accept VR movement when you are already feeling sick from it, it gets worse. You’re supposed to only do a few minutes of movement in VR at a time, and stop when you start feeling sick. Getting over this is referred to as “getting your VR legs”. Once you do, you will be able to do hours without it showing up, and motion sickness irl might get less problematic.
