Confirmed Hacking!

[vagrant yarrow]

Sadly I couldn't get any footage of it, if anyone has any please share.
At around 1905 (BST) on the SoFurry PVE server, aircraft started spawning immediately in front of player aircraft resulting in an instant death. I stopped playing 5min later, hacker defiantly still active.

I very much doubt this was a bug.

[hushed forge]

yeah happened on that server yesterday aswell,that was around 22:00 UTC

[vagrant yarrow]

That sucks, I like that server as its not Escalation 24/7. I'm glad I'm not the only one to experience this though... not that it makes it any better.

[devout sundial]

It's up to the server owners themselves instead of the game

Because this game, for some reason, has no way of combatting cheaters itself

[vagrant yarrow]

Fair enough. Maybe this will help develop a way of combating cheaters in the future?
At the very least I hope that by posting this publicly we can create a community that actively works to dissuade cheating/hacking and call it out when it happens.

[flint vigil]

Happened in Talon One server as well. Somebody with no visible username was spawning compasses into his teammates, causing instant destruction upon spawn for everybody on BDF.
Perhaps PALA did mine the moon for portal fluid..

#screenshots-and-videos message

video of it

[chilly brook]

and hes been at it since at least 9/10

[willow pollen]

At the end you can see him do it to me

[vagrant yarrow]

It was a good game till they started their shenanigans

[keen swift]

It does and we do, but don't expect e-sports level of cheat prevention. This is just another exploit that needs to be fixed.

[devout sundial]

First time I've heard of Nuclear Option having some form of Anti Cheat. What does it combat?

[keen swift]

clients attempting to do things they shouldnt be able to. Teleporting wasn't amongst that yet though

[rapid sky]

I've also heard reports of cheater's tarantula 76mm firing at machinegun rates

I don't have any footage/tacview of it though

[keen swift]

that is an example of something that should be impossible unless the host has modded the game, so I will need footage of it

[rapid sky]

if I can get any I will forward to you first thing

[devout sundial]

I have a fun clip of a guy with some form of invincibility teleporting himself into players and behind them

[keen swift]

I would also need confirmation that the game is not just modified so you can do that. It'd need to be a case of a modded client joining an unmodded host and still being able to machine gun the 76mm

[rapid sky]

@uncut mural if you have any hacker footage can u post here pls

[rapid sky]

yeah that could have been a server using nikko's mod or smth like that

[halcyon mirage]

from the descriptions it sounded like #### shenanigans

just a hypothesis tho

[halcyon mirage]

i dont have any mods that would behave like that 😭

[rapid sky]

I thought u had one that lets spawning units as the host I might have hallucinated

apologies

or was that an old one that no longer works

[halcyon mirage]

i "had", but that didnt allow for super tarantulas. broken since 0.31

[rapid sky]

understood

I will omegalul if the terleporting is also just abusing the timescale to fly to target in a blink

[rapid sky]

can u send me that tacview file ?

[halcyon mirage]

ill send the file i got in a min, havent trimmed it so its 200mb lol

[rapid sky]

thanks a lot

I'm curious about something

[halcyon mirage]

[rapid sky]

what's the hackers callsign

in that one

[halcyon mirage]

completely blank

[halcyon mirage]

at 31:25, near north boscali, pala cricket

[rapid sky]

yeah he IS teleporting

TAS is 0

while the object is moving

at multiple instances

[rapid sky]

looks like fiddling with timeScale can have some weird effects on the game even in a MP match but that's probably NOT what is used for teleporting

[uncut mural]

We banned this user

[rapid sky]

@keen swift I just submitted a ticket with evidence on both the teleporting and the "machine gun 76mm"

aaa's pov

[devout sundial]

MNOCS got messed up by a cheater.

Fun stuff, you guys.

[willow pollen]

Yeah

[willow pollen]

name is truefalse

[chilly brook]

aw

you should get the latest NOBlackBox version, this one does not log steam id's

BC3,T=-0.3081172|-0.1126208|22.01|-0.02|-0.32|186.68|-34299.45|-12536.89|186.68,TAS=0,Mach=0,AOA=0,AGL=0,LandingGear=1,Name=T/A-30 Compass,Coalition=Boscali,Color=Blue,Type=Air+FixedWing,Pilot=truefalse,CallSign=truefalse

[rapid sky]

might have been recorded before I had the new version out

[smoky sparrow]

im pretty sure that same person every time and many ppl already have his ID

[chilly brook]

yes, why i suggested getting the new version

[willow pollen]

This was a couple of days ago

[chilly brook]

oh i didnt see

[chilly brook]

ah ok just making sure

[smoky sparrow]

i actually posted it already, but AAA said that it can provoke witchhunting

[rapid sky]

ya truefalse's steam ID is on a fair few ban lists now probably

[willow pollen]

I mean the game is niche and small enough where there likely isnt a lot of actual skilled coders that want to exploit.

[willow pollen]

Too bad you can use family share on the game

[smoky sparrow]

my guy is "pve warrior" but he changed his nickname since than like 5 times already

[smoky sparrow]

welp that account actually did specificly created for NO cheating since it created 18 september and only bought 1 game

[willow pollen]

Probably didnt even buy it

Def family sharing

[smoky sparrow]

he have badge for 1 game bought

[willow pollen]

You can try it out yourself on Steam. Ik devs can toggle it on and off.

[willow pollen]

Oh so he's a dumbass lol

You dont even need to buy it lol

[smoky sparrow]

he just wanna support games that he exploitng

[willow pollen]

Buy it a second time i mean

I have it bought but my brother plays it sometimes as well cause I family share

asmoday when i catch you....

[bold cobalt]

He just buy accounts for like 5 to 10 bucks that have nuclear option or whatever

[subtle lava]

Yep, he copied my username and caused a lot of chaos

I blocked him and now i can easily see when he is in my lobby

[willow pollen]

That or GOG or whatever that alt website is that ppl do shady stuff to get it so cheap

[bold cobalt]

I do it too for other games there's an entire website for it

[uncut mural]

Hey Bono please message me your steamid

I remember this and want to make sure you didnt get caught in the crossfire

[subtle lava]

Just did

[devout sundial]

True false has done this repeatedly. What server was this in?

[willow pollen]

SoFurry or whatever it is. They usually run the same scenario and I like that one they run.

Think its an EU server or something cause my ping for it is usually in the high 90-100s

[sullen sandal]

I also had a guy teleporting around in an escalation game I hosted.

[bold cobalt]

It's a cheating software you can get for five bucks

[halcyon mirage]

source?

[devout sundial]

Is this a locally authentic source?

[halcyon mirage]

i fought so hard not to say that

[devout sundial]

It has become an inside joke and I will work hard to keep it going

[sullen sandal]

On some level I can see the appeal of hacking a game. But buying a cheat software is so cringe

[willow pollen]

That was my original thinking as well. But if it is just a cheating software that would be hilariously pitiful. Ts is easier than playing AC7 MP

[frank crane]

Buying a cheat software is so desperate. There's like a 90% chance that its a virus.

[willow pollen]

I mean I get it for games with ranking systems (still scummy) but, besides the dedicated ones, this game doesn't track overall stats.
