which ones pls?

Should all be on redirect.

Look into your server loggs ... the player PeterPawner was cheating.
I spectated him for a whole match. When PP used hitscan weapons the view locked on instantly on the closest player through walls.

Man, WHY do they do that.
It is not even fun to do.

Do you know what......I absolutely suspected he was cheating.

The problem I have is that when I enable ACE, many players cant join the server including ones I know.
UT crashes or hangs

So last night I disabled ACE so that we could have some games.
I'm so grateful to @anth as he spent a lot of time helping me. He found I had a corrupted textures file on my pc which fixed my issue with ACE on the server.

But now I really don't know what to do with regards to having anti cheat working
If I enable it many cant get on, disable it and players like peterpawner come.

It's exactly the reason why i stepped over to local hosting some years ago.
This way you have more freedom, you can reach the firewall, and you can add IP addresses as a block entry.
9 out of 10 cheaters won't return after this is my experience, unless they spoof addresses through VPN or other tunneling software.
Not sure if the /kickban thing does IP, or some other ID.

If you can't run a server from home, a solution would be that you rent a complete Windows or Linux server, where you can reach the FireWall etc. (example; https://www.time4vps.com)
You need atleast a full WIndows/Linux environment where you have more freedom of doing these things.

With Gameservers/nfo you only rent a UT99 session/instance, and you can only start or stop this session.
Furthermore you can't manage a thing from these consoles
I think you can submit tickets with banrequests and such.. but yeah.. time..

About ACE, just gotta wait until 469 and next build, things probably get more stable by then i assume.

Sorry i could only join for a half a game or so
I had some unexpected visits at my house.
