Cash out no alert steal, cheat?

[markanmies]

This isn't particularly something new, but hasn't happened in a loooong time for me. So someone just now stole our cash out, but there was absolutely 0 alert or blinking and the cash out was suddenly stolen to enemy color. I wonder if this is an old bug still in the code or if it is an actual cheat.

Has this happened to you?

that could not be a cheat. a server bug is possible though

I've seen crazier things happen in video games, most definitely could be a cheat, but I'm not saying it is with a certainty. It might as well be a bug.

Probably they disabled the antitheft alarm.

Its one of the sound issues of the game with fully stealth Lights

Yeah I've come across these invisible steals too. You are probably right.

It's happened to me a few times and I really doubt it's a cheat. Just a bug with the game. I've also had instances where the UI elements were showing the incorrect team controlling the cashout as well as having the score counter in the upper right showing teams with $10k already when it's literally the first box of the game.

Just a server issue. As I've had times where I don't hear it and my buddy does and vise versa where I'm asking him why he's not stopping the steal and he doesn't hear it.

Usually the cash out blinks at least if there is no sound, this has to be a rare case

It was still blinking in our case just that he was not visually checking on it. As I started keeping eyes on it after having it make a sound at the last .25 mark of a steal and losing it to an enemy while I'm sleeping in the corner.

I don't know about the flickering/blinking of the indicator when the cache is stolen (more precisely, I somehow have nothing to say, except that I have seen similar moments), but about the sounds... IMHO — I have a theory that when there are quite a lot of sounds in the game at one point in time, then some sounds simply do not play, and this is not uncommon in this game, alas.
Often there are no sounds of enemy footsteps, the sound of an explosion, the sound of spawn, etc., it can take a very long time to list.
Or... maybe it has something to do with the processor load at a particular moment in time. For example, if you've ever played games using the "Serious engine", they've had a setting for quite some time that allows you to adjust the maximum number of sounds played at the same time. Which leads to some thoughts.
