Speed hack detected, you are session banned

[Dslyecxi]

Short and sweet - if you're experiencing packetloss, you will be notified of "Speed hack detected" in the event that your position updates by more than anticipated (due to said packetloss). After a few seconds of this you'll trigger the new anti-speedhack code.

At the time this happened to me (very first game after the patch just now), I was experiencing around 20-30% packetloss for a period of a few minutes (wonderful ISP, but that's another story). This was enough to gain a session ban due to said speedhack detection.

I've been session banned because of speed hack. The problem is I did NOT(and never will) use any kind of hack or cheating.

I was in the E objective on the map Barracks, moved to the first floor and then instantly found myself on the ground floor, could not move, I got a message, that I'm using speed hack, then I got banned from the server...

Weird...

Yes, someone also wrote that in a other threat.
Wtf is going on there?

I got kicked by punkbuster because of "no packet flow"...?!

[Kodokai]

Punkbuster has always been problematic

[Britney Federline]

It used to happen for a while in the RO mod as well, but that got fixed. Maybe there's some basic Unreal networking code that's not playing nicely?

@Yellonet: That happens sometimes on games with PB. Sometimes without a reason
Just connect again.

Are there any more knew on this Speed Hack False positives?
I'm definitely not getting this issue very often anymore, but I did have a bunch when I joined a server with a bit of lag.

I'm just curious, because it finally hit again today.. thankfully without any session ban, but I was wondering if the Devs atleast have it on their long list of things to do. I don't want it to become a problem again.

This began to happen to me just last night and I don't hack or cheat, never have and have no interest to ever start.... there's simply no fun to it.

It only happened to me on one server and that specific server only had one player on it, which was probably the host of the server..... it is an issue, as I suspect the only reason why he was the only one on there was because the server was kicking everybody else off for the same reason it kicked me off, which was this packet loss thing.

Another glitch that happened to me yesterday a couple of times, which could be related, was sometimes I'd spawn and start to run halfway across the map, then the next thing I know, I'm right back in spawn again with all my running energy wasted from the time I was just running..... then I'd run off again to get back to the front with most of my energy wasted, and then I'd be plopped back into spawn again.... it drove me friggin nuts.

The update with the speed hack detection was just released a couple of hours ago. If this was happening to you last night it was something else.

Indeed.... it was only one server last night and I think they just threw on PB on their server themselves as when I was bounced back to the browser, a Punk Buster notification came up on my screen about packet loss.... I don't know too much about how it all works, but that server was the only issue & I never ran the PB until this new patch.....

Speaking of the patch... after just coming back home and updating ROB, besides the browser showing empty servers, which can be worked around of course..... I'm now getting this speed hack detected thing on every server I join.

My ping is usually between 30-90, usually in the 30-40 range, yet I'm still getting speed hack detected, my gameplay is choppy as hell, I'm thrown all over the place and can't do squat...... and I have no interest in staying on a server long enough to get kicked or banned because of it.

And it only really started after this patch.

..... me no like... Bad medicine.

Added:

Well there we go.... I just got session banned..... sorry, but I'm not playing the beta again until this is fixed. I'm not trying to be a jerk, but having the game throw me around to the point I'm running into walls, getting speed hack detection warnings and then getting kicked/session banned makes it pointless to even try to play.

Everything seemed perfectly fine for me in the last patch, minus a few odd MG backwards animations..... and even in the original release, besides the laggy browser thing, I had zero issues, now my game is crippled.

If it helps, here's my specs again:

Intel Core i5-2300 CPU @ 2.80GHz (QuadCore)
8GB of RAM
Windows 7 64-Bit Operating System
Nvidia GeForce 210 - 4GB of RAM

I'm going back to Ostfront for the time being.....
