okay, so my game will be semi single-player. it is basically a single-player game but online, like clash of clans for example. will filteringenabled make a difference?

well, yes, but it's a single-player game. oh and there are still exploiters it's just that the stuff they do doesn't replicate to the server.

Doesn't really matter if you have 1, 2, or 92 players, There is a server and there is/are client(s), FE should be used if you want for the most part exploit proof games.

look, filteringenabled doesn't stop exploiters. it stops what they do replicating to the server, but they can still see it, just not anyone else. if it's singleplayer, it's the exploiter's decision.

You should still use FilteringEnabled to stop them from replicating their changes to whatever authorative thing you have on the server.
