I would agree here. I'm not saying there weren't any, but I never ever suspected that anyone was even remotely using a hack or cheat. In other words, it was so rare that I would even consider it non-existent and definitely not a problem.

If you find one that actually works you can come again and report it to one of the moderators. (I would like a notice too though :/ )

To my knowledge all publically available hacks are not functional anymore. I fixed several once with the AntiBS mutator, which only some days later got fixed by TWI in a patch, and later on some with the Exterminator mutator.

There are cheats, but tbh. most who complain about cheating in RO wouldnt even know where to look for signs of cheats.

The anti-cheat system used in Ost worked fine in the 3 years I played it, i've never seen/heard of anyone who hacked and got away with it, there was even a guy on ROL who changed his settings so he could see through some obstacles, but even he got caught

Yes, there were exploits in the game like being able to instantly bolt your rifle with a sprint trick and the dolphin dive, but those were corrected with updates

Then there were some things that seemed like cheats but were really just bugs in the game, like being able to see thru smoke if you looked through glass, and having no recoil for the ppsh if your fps was below 15 (approx), but again, these were faults in the game itself and these sorts of things are going to appear in games once in a while

As much as the whole thread sounds like a troll, I personally haven't seen anyone cheating with 3rd party hacks or cheats in proper sense of the word and there has been only one (1) case I've had some suspicion over one guy in a public game in the past four (4) years, but even then I came to the conclusion he just probably had been playing the mod and the retail (overall) alot longer to hipshoot people at quite interesting ranges.

Protip: don't play Ostfront when you're high.

Hacked copy needs hacks.

Maybe you could be more specific, but do not post here!
ieSpell is a luverly little tool, btw.

Saying there are no hacks goes a bit overboard, its just that the regular ones you google do not really work.

I know of some people that blatantly used a wall hack, yet to this day remain unbanned by vac. So there are definitely working hacks out there. Its just that you won't find them that easily by simply googling for them.

Vac is sufficient for public play and keeps most issues out of bay, however for competitive play some more extensive anti cheat would be desired. Like for instance X-ray anti cheat (http://www.xraygaming.com/) or DMW (http://www.dmwworld.com), where human admins can actually go and investigate into a player, after he's been accused for cheating or whatever. Especially certain configuration file settings can be annoying.

I doubt anyone would deny that but rather point out that generally speaking when it comes to average public server and average player the odds to see a cheater are nonexistant compared to some other game E.G.

Competitive gaming is bit diffrent story, as I've also heard some cases where people have been using stuff like that.

Hacks Im not so sure about but there are plenty of exploits. Now I think that these may be called cheating if used but Hacks not so sure.

I never had the feeling someone had a wallhack/aimbot running in RO. Even thought there may be some hacks out there, RO:Ost simply is a game where conventional cheating doesn't give you a big advantage and is, in most cases, not even noticeable.

This can't be said about config "tweaking" (cheating) to see through smoke or other glitching.
And yes I'm looking at last one clan here. Additional FOV zoom when in Iron sights anyone? (this was in 2007, thought, the mentality stays the same)

 

[Apos]

RO:O is full of glitchers and config abusers (UE games problem). VAC can do nothing to it. VAC protects games from common known cheats like aimbots, wallhack only but not always.

Im hoping for support of extarnal anti-cheats like X-Ray, mentioned in suggestion thread

There's no universal experience in gaming with cheaters online, but they do obviously exist.

I can't understand the allure to cheat, as then one's gaming experience just becomes a parody of itself. Maybe there's less cheating in historically derived games like RO, because those that are drawn to them are wanting to experience that "suspension of disbelief". In this regards, I've personally never been drawn to fantasy/futuristc/sci-fi games for the very reason that I find it difficult to suspend my disbelief over something I already know is fantasy based. Not to highjack this thread, but I'm sure everyone is aware that the great trend in FPS games these days is to portray covert, or special force operations, either contemporary or "future" iterations. As I see it, the reason this has become so appealing to game developers, is that there's little need to substantiate the gameplay experienced in them against any fact-based measurables such as weapon performance, theaters of operations, politics, or the plauasability of their basic plot lines when they're about "covert", "classified", "special ops", or "futuristic" *combat*.......by design these games are beyond comparison (literally).

Again, perhaps this might be why there's less drive to cheat/hack historically-based games (as compared to the fantasy/futuristic/sci-fi genres), because in doing so the player's basis for any suspension of disbelief is jeopardized, which is something that other games have already dispensed with by the core basics of their designs.

(or maybe cheaters/hackers arejust attracted to the most popular genres......which for me is ok too)

I never noticed any in RO. I think the gamemode does discourage the use of hacks. As there aint Free for all or Team Deathmatch and other possibilities like to show your utter skills as player.

In my experience most players played to win as a team. I did not noticed
any weird hacks or suspicious moves.

 

[Capt.Cool]

cant remember any haxs in ROO.

 

[Apos]

cheats/haxs are hard to notice @ FFA, but some clans used many things... AFAIR few clans have been banned for using them (cheats) on Roladder.net but... what's the problem to get new RO and play again...

Well to play again after being banned is quite a bit harder than just getting a new version of the game, and making a new account.

 

[<animal>INSTINCT]

The ultimate anti-cheating system:
Step 1)Have a program that finds people using hax/cheats/etc, the program then dispenses all the personal info of the cheater to the rest of the people playing the same game as them

Step 2) Use info mentioned in step 1 to kill said haxor in real life

If you didn't want to kill them, you could have it so when a game finds that they are hacking, their wall hack turns on them and high lights them to all other players through the walls.
