Which anti-cheat is up to date ?
Posted: Sat Feb 14, 2015 9:02 am
First to say that I have very limited number of servers when can play UT99. Mostly German ones, or in near. I'm not in Germany, but ISP is Deutsche Telekom - what could be topic for another thread .. Something is wrong with ping value detected and shown - lag on many servers is much bigger. Actually, what you see after first listing of favorite servers is closest to real lag. Pressing F5 multiple times will result in showing much smaller pings. I don't know why it is - maybe because Telekom multiplexes users/lines with low frequency ?
So, situation is that cheaters practically overtook some servers. There is no admin on Mukum DM/fun server, anti-cheat is outdated. Italian kiddie (he claims that has 16 years) cheats heavily - and that's not only my opinion. Actually, he was banned from some servers after being detected with latest ACE.
But he is just one of many cheaters. Typical situation is: you connect to some server, where 1-2 players are listed - then it may happen that it is fake info, and will see just bot(s) . You play little, then some real player jumps in. And starts to demolish you. What ? Yes, cheater waited behind corner for victim !
You go other server - same shit ! You go populated server - cheaters inevitable. They took over Planet ! Game Over !
Someone will say that I'm stupid noob. I'm everything else. Actually, I'm good experienced player - from very first days of UT. There are some other things I don't like in today UT99 online, but let stay topic.
So, anyone can tell us what anti-cheat is up to date, and can detect new cheats ? Here I mean in first place detection of X_Inst*Hook - which claims that passes ACE, Pure, etc , and is sold on time base - licence for given duration. This is what I saw on site selling it. Don't know about other new cheats, but there are some, for sure.
There is number of players capable to move much faster than normal. They dodge faster, farther. When you say it, they reply: "learn dodge" Yes, thank you very much ! Some even made little demonstration to me how to dodge properly. But what they did simply worked not for me. And that's very annoying. I really don't know is it because my crap connection, or they make fool of me, or server gives advantage to some players ??????
Note: here I don't talk about double jump, what may be combined with dodge. Some can do very long side dodge without jumping - they stay low during whole thing. Sad thing is that even some admins cheated that way: now down RocketArena server had admin who blatantly cheated - he moved 2x faster than normal, could dodge in Stalwart XL middle room between 2 platforms. Note that in that server was no double jump or some other movement mod.
All this make me sad and mad.
Can we do anything to make things better, or I should forget online playing, and go on some LAN party ?
