#Game needs Ghost Mode

ive been recording my games lately in attempt to catch a bug, but have captured all the sussy things high level gem players get away with.

we need a Ghost Mode in the game that allows mods and devs to be in a game but not as a tank as a spectator, with zoom controls, and location identifiers of all players. so mods can follow up on reports of players not dying when they should. only way to rule out cheaters and teamers (caught in the act)

ex:

please explain how “ipn456” cheated death 2 times (the nuke when through them, and the flak hit them)

That’s lag

modern mulch
#

cant blame everything on lag

thick storm
#

But it is tho so…

modern mulch
#

tangible evidence

#

what is the ping and latency of that player during that match then?

thick storm
#

Players have no way to effect the game like that

#

They only send input

#

And it’d be your lag

modern mulch
#

my lag, i don’t have lag so that doesn’t make sense my connection is solid

thick storm
#

Solid connection still is a bit off

#

There’s an article that explains this one sec

modern mulch
#

my jitter is none
my latency is 10
my speed is 980MBps / 45 up

lowests downspeed is 450
highest 980

lowest up speed 25
highest 45

#

Anyway even if this is a horrible cheater somehow how could we distinguish this from lag

modern mulch
#

that was my point, not everything is lag bc they blend in perfectly

#

but the article is good

#

valid points

thick storm
#

My point is if a video like this was enough to ban someone a lot of normal people would be banned

#

Though I would like a ghost mode like this to catch teamers

modern mulch
#

in that light jist for the sake of it, the video wouldn’t be the only means for such a thing it would be a means to investigate, not ban

#

but that requires having tools and functionality

#

another game i play they can see a list of the ping/latency and network speed of players to determine possible lag was issue or something is off and need to investigate

#

still i agree its not an easy problem to get around

#

i have yet to see anyone consistently use that mechanic

modern mulch
#

no where did i ever say that. just no

#

🤦‍♂️

#

nothing is impossible

#

that means nothing

#

you now how many games are server side and have hacks

#

and there untracable

#

dont get me started onthat

meager forge
#

when you are spectating, to reduce client-side prediction artifacts, the tank is shown a fraction of a second behind

#

so when that nuke goes straight through them, the hitbox is actually a tank length or two ahead
