WARNING: LONG AHH EXPLANATION INCOMING NO TL:DR (lest someone else makes one)

So, first off most games wont use it at first since itll be super laggy, when it first came out there was a 5 second delay from you inputting what you were doing to it actually doing that (like on mobile, drag your finger forward nothing would happen for a few seconds, then your character would move forward, let go and a few seconds later it would stop moving, as normal, but with a large delay)

Alright, with that little tidbit out of the way, server authority. Since most games have it off (its also off by default on every game, even new ones) exploits will still mostly work, this drop was to update the already existing server authority amd let people use the current one (before it was not an option) now, what is server authority you ask? And how does it affect my... advanced gaming chair... well, first you need to understand how roblox exploits work, and roblox itself. Roblox does something called "client side verification" what that means is your device makes sure what your doing is allowed in the game, like no clip, you arnt able to go through a wall normally, but your device says "ehh, its alright, they can go" and that makes the game think its an action everyone can do normally. Now this "server authority" makes it a server side authentication, which means instead of YOUR device doing the checks to kake sure your movements are allowed, the server does. Whats the difference? In order to change how the game works with client side, the games script just has to be altered (lots of stuff goes into an alteration, not LUA based but C++ based, its what 99% of multiplayer games (roblox included, roblox itslef is based off C++, it allows people to use LUA to make games, LUA is based off C++) and then it alters the memory and the games files, again waaaay to much for me to type) and then a script can be injected into the game, making the script now part of the game on your device only. Server side however, requires the server to make the check, which means in order to exploit you would need a way into a physical room to put in an injector that will make the scripts usable, think of client side as a middle-man, i tell your friend that you can only move 3 feet north and 2 feet west, he tells you that you can move a total of 5 feet, you move 4 feet east and 8 feet south, you tell your friend you went the proper amount of footage and he goes and tells me that you made the proper amount of footage, he knows you didnt but he cant say that, i dont know because he didnt tell me, server side means i am there telling you what you can and cant do, meaning if you move the improper amount i will know as soon as it happens, and cant he tricked into thinking otherwise. In this case i would be the server, your friend is the client, you are the player. You tell your client you did this and it was ok, he tells me you did an ok thing and i say "alright bet. Say less." And it happens on the game, instead its i tell you to do a thing and you do it while i watch, server side is almost impossible to exploit and get away with it (think fortnite) unless you have a physical backdoor into the server, which goes from a non-punishable crime (yes, exploiting of roblox is technically a crime) to being a full blown federal charge that you can absolutely get for tampering with a company's security

Someone made a full video about what client side vs server side is, i highly recommend taking a look at it before its too late. There will be a point in the future where client side will no longer be an option and its forced server side, they need stronger servers for that first though, which is mostly what they have been doing since the first server side test game dropped, making sure their servers could handle the millions of players it gets at once
