Cheat Engine Users

[vhortex]

This game does not have any form of protection versus cheat engine users. Just today there are 2 players with C.AM.P. floating in the sky. A wanted person on Permanent Invisible status. Will the developer address this problem?

Even if it is exactly as you say, it is HIGHLY unlikely the small group of people maintaining this game will patch anything in the game to try and fix any of these problems.

The best case scenario we get is this:

You record in-game video of the players and their offenses, you report the players with the in-game report system. If Bethesda asks for your in-game video, give it to them.

And that in the best case scenario they ban those accounts in 6-12 months when they get around to actually reviewing it all.

And you will never know what happens from your report either way.

This is the way.

Soooo... Camps in the sky is a thing that was possible long ago and some people still have their camps from back then. It's legitimate. As far as the wanted person on "Permanent Invisible Status".. How do you know he's wanted if he's permanently invisible? Also, crouching hides your icon on the map. So, these "issues" are actually legitimate.

I am sure CAMPS in the sky like a few miles up above westek is not normal

As long as they can't loot you from across the map, it's in a pretty good state! Not like back then...

Camps in the Sky... just don't go to camps with scrap and it's ok.
not that big deal.
they are invisble cause they have stealth boys. i got 1000 self made/farmed.
most of this players are gone.
just put them on ignore and you will see them less often.

you can adress it cause he is flagged as wanted on the map and he got a red marker over his head. even when they are crouching. but you need to reach a certain distance to see this red marker in pvp.

i enjoy the camps in the sky, some are really neat, i have a pic of one i went up to that looked like a star fighter very well done, like was said go check them out just dont carry any scrap or wear p.a. so if they close the camp it wont hurt you, i like jumping off of them.

Sky bases are built with a minor exploit, often from abusing pay to win fo1st features

They can be reported, but I'm unsure if bugfesta does anything

Same with undermap bases, but those are built with minor exploits anyone can do


Permanent invisible can be achieved in a few ways

1 - chinese stealth suit -- they'd be dead instantly if that was the case
2 - 5 minutes per stealthboy, I've got a neigh unlimited supply of the little things
3 - chameleons armour - they'd be dead instantly if that was the case
4 - well not invisible they can box themselves inside of a no access building and just troll people coming to get them and thus not really appear to be there


I'll add - should be noted

Cheaters do exist, generally they use fast movement, aimbot, godmode, no clip, and pacifist slaughterer cheats

If you need cheats to be successful in this game you really are skilless.

[Wack-A-Mole MLRS]

Yep, really bad when you have to cheat in a SIMS game. But I Love the floating camps because I could not even build one 10 feet off the ground myself...

[Mooman]

So about floating camps. This season has the venetian blinds as a reward (it has a different name).

I haven't done this, but supposedly it can allow you to build unsupported walls...

Sky camps are easier than ever now... physics be dammed!

Unsupported walls have been a thing with multiple methods for years now. Even unsupported doors anywhere is still a thing. Floating camps IS NOT a cheat but only a trick/exploit in the base build system itself.

neither of these are actually cheats, they're exploiting mechanics, or grandfathered in from when the building rules were different.

Actual hackers? not so much. I think the reason is that this is Bethesda's community. I mean, you never know who you're going to piss off and with their connection with modders, I think some of the more hostile hackers risk pissing of someone that knows what they're doing better than they do. I mean, you try to hack someone who plays a Bethesda game, you risk pissing off someone who knows how to get into your computer and delete your life lol.

No need to get defensive, he didn't say it was.

LOL defensive? How so? I was only stating that this is not a new or the need for the blinds to do so.
