scudrunner 0 Posted September 14, 2007 [i didn't see this specifically covered elsewhere and even if it is I feel it deserves to be brought to higher attention anyway...] I realize there have been posts about hacking and anti-cheat software and such, but I've never been worried about it until the last couple of weeks. It seems now that anytime a decent sized Berzerk comes up in the server list, after joining before long there is absolutely unmistakable hacking. Of course, for some time there has been the infamous satchel loaded M249, but not until recently for me has there been such strange phenomena as water tower spires reaching thousands of feet into the air, random squads of AI spawning (in a Berzerk), being suddenly endowed (myself and other innocents) with a Shilka cannon or FFAR launcher in my chest, or seeing others (or myself) exploding into the air only to land harmlessly on my feet. I have also witnessed having the entire map be rained with random GBU's. Needless to say, anytime a good game comes up with enough people to make it enjoyable (which is hard to find thanks to the over saturation of evolution), these same symptoms arrive soon after simply to disrupt and ruin the game for everyone. I find it hard to believe I havent seen any posts about this ( i did search and I'm sure as soon as I say this a mod will hand the link to me as well as my ass...). What is there that can be done? Does the ArmA cheat or whatever combat this? is it the particular servers for allowing certain options? Can this be stopped?? This is destroying the game, at least for me. It may just be the final frustration that ends my and I'm sure others' interest in a game with such great potential. P.S. It seems a friend has tracked down the newly distributed hack to some Swedish guy and his website. Though I'm sure he's no longer the only guy using it. --- Oh and mr swedish hacker guy... go to hell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Messiah 2 Posted September 14, 2007 search function on these forums is a tad tricky to use effectively, but you probably forgot to change the box to 'and older' which catches most people out and screws with the results. at any rate, having a peek in the multiplayer section of the forum, might have been a wise start given its a multiplayer problem... In there you'll find enough threads on the subject. Worry not, its not gone un-noticed by the rest of us, and hopefully not BIS. On their shiny new website, they say that they are/have addressing/addressed the problem in the next patch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
russin 0 Posted September 14, 2007 im hoping BIS read the BTS for removing Client side commands this will hamper the cheating ways.... Roughnecks are loging IP's on several servers now for a long time letting them in so we can IP ban the lot of them and in some cases adding a IP range ban if needed the cheaters are on borrowed time now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scudrunner 0 Posted September 14, 2007 @ Messiah Yeah I did look at the most prominent hacking posts but none I saw considered this new threat directly. As for the MP forum, yeah I suppose that'd make more sense, and I wouldn't object if this were moved to there- though it'd probably get more attention here as the MP forums may be a bit neglected...
