About Hacking In The Beta

[grateful_dead]

The guy who invented hacks and cheats, should be buried alive....

No, send him to the Ostfront.

Dude, I know you have good intentions but posting links to things like this only encourages certain people to visit and potentially invest in hacks that will spoil things for the rest of us.

Re-read the OP and edit your post!

I'm happy PB is on this. If it's updated every so often we will be just fine.

I remember the author of the framework in TO:AOT. Little geek from Belgium.

Untrue, I've seen PB fail consistently on at least half a dozen games, it seems to kick me for 'sync' problems more than it kicks botters.

PB used to kick me from Battlefield games seemingly at random. If this is the case with RO2, I will not be pleased.

VAC seemed to do a good job with RO/DH, so I am happy about that.

Do we have any cheat list yet?
You know, so we won't submit an already known cheat.
I've ran accross a player speedhacking a few minutes ago, and telling people to cancel their pre-orders for some reason.

We were in the same server. It made me ragequit and come here looking for blood lol

So what about the cheats that "fall through the cracks" so to speak. This is where two very powerful additional tools come into play:
PBBans and Server Admins!

PBBans - PBBans has a system which allows streaming of a master ban list. As cheats are caught through PunkBuster violations, screenshots or demos, they are added to the Master Ban Index (MBi). So admins catching someone cheating on their servers can submit screenshots or video to PBBans and get the cheater banned. In this way, even cheaters using cheats that "fall through the cracks" will find themselves banned.


An active dev team - another very important tool in combating cheats is an active dev team. Many recent games have come out and been overrun by cheats while the dev team did little or nothing. As we have done in the past, Tripwire will be leaning forward on this and extremely active in combating cheats. An example of this is some cheating that we started noticing yesterday which is known as "speed-hacking". Later today, just 24 hours later, we should be releasing an update that combats this type of hacking.

^^^ thats why im here
thanks tripwire !!!

also dont trust a server just cause it says PB make sure its streaming to PBbans ... thats the best
PB with pbbans is twice as effective .. the numbers dont lie
pb= 228,018
pb with PBBANS = 473,984

make sure you play on a server thats streaming
go here and hit "streaming list" in red for your game

note: streaming servers may not be up till final release

Will hackers caught by VAC lose access to their steam account? I think this is the best punishment, causing them to lose every steam game they have paid for. There is no excuse for hacking and if I was ruler of the Earth I'd have them beaten and executed as punishment, but sadly I am not ruler of the Earth.

I dont agree with banning their steam i agree with banning from the server and kicking them and all, but taking away all games is just not cool. i hate cheaters but alot of them use them to try it out, i believe this is a good thing to add pb and VAC but banning from thousands of pounds worth of games is very cruel.


THIS POST IS NOT AGREEING WITH HACKERS!

 

[Damo]

To be honest I think anybody caught cheating should be banned from playing that particular game online through steam for a set period of time - that's a good deterrent.

 

[HellBilly]

banning a cheats steam account is really pretty stupid
a real cheater only has one game per account

only play on PB servers that are streaming to PBbans

 

[vanelle]

Good news.
Indeed no steam ban though thats a bit too much.

Life time ban from the server sounds better.
Glad tripwire is always listening.
And about that cloth guy ( forgot his name ) truly a shame.

 

[rrp]

Do the crime, then do the time imo. Caught hacking should = full steam ban.
If you want to cheat, play offline

yehaw

How many real cheaters are out there compared to regular idiots who cheat because they suck at a game? Most people who cheat are regular Joe's who think they're damned good because they've managed to buy their way into a trainer.

There is next to no deterrent for hackers, and so they do it without any forethought.

If however you took the on-line capabilities of the game away for a month for breaking the rules, they'd stop pretty damn quickly.

Sure, it's harsh - the way a deterrent should be - but then I don't care about hackers' feelings in the slightest.

 

[Hillstorm]

Agree with Damo.

Multiplayer games depend on players trusting the integrity of the server/experience. One cheater could drive 10, 20 or more people to stop playing a game. Maybe they think someone is cheater but are not sure, maybe they think they just aren't very good - maybe they think the hosts or game developers don't care - for whatever reason, they may just move on.

Better to deal harshly with a cheater than lose multiple legit players. Maybe there can be different levels of punishment for first offense, second offense, etc.. But honestly, if they are caught a second time, I think that says a lot.

Just had a guy on the server we were playing on, it was a Finish server, player named [TW]Ramm-Jaeger (no way was it the real ramm), was definitely wall hacking and using an aim bot of sort, hip firing his machine gun from the other side of the map and killing people easily.
