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.

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 :noidea
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.
