Lag Bug

[teal dirge]

If I hold down a bunch of notes on my keyboard, it will start spamming them quickly. It could do up to 300 notes/sec. Could be abused as a lag machine or farming notes. I'm using a wooting if that matters.

To make sure I understand the bug report, so it's an exploit?

So is it an exploit in multiplayer where you can purposely lag other people?

So it's not relevant for single player (i.e. this won't happen unless someone is intentionally spamming like this)?

As for farming notes, it's partially why I didn't make leaderboards for notes yet because good anti-cheat is time-consuming to make due to macros etc.

i will have to eventually fix this then as multiplayer will eventually become more popular

i can show u

in game

It is an exploit

you can lag other ppl i think

i havent tested it on others

but u have to hold it down for 2 solid minutes

and it could just be my pc

I mean realistically if anyone's doing it, you can kick them out before

@prime sandal you need to get back to this, i got kicked twice today, because of QWERTY player.

Thanks, so it seems a fix would be:

1. set a max hold duration of 10s for multiplayer, it's unrelaistic for a note to be held longer than 10s anyway
2. Max notes per 10s limit - exact amount to be determined, any more notes would be auto-discarded by the receiver

I will do (1) and (2) later this month, do you think this will solve it? @gloomy wedge

[teal dirge]

should solve it, anything over 100 notes per second should be discarded

for multiplayer
