So ummm, Hacks and Cheats are Common in Rocket League?

[Genghis Khan]

I saw someone who drove around carrying the ball on top of his car for a good 2 minutes despite people crashing into him the ball always stayed on top of his car, and then later he kept destroying other cars, he destroyed something like 20 cars in 3 minutes.

[lollars]

at the very beginning rocketleague had a hack where you could see where the ball would land but that was useless

[DudePong]

There are hacks in rocket league, it's just that they're not very good.

[saph (controller lag)]

I have 3k hours and I can safely say there are no hacks in RL, even mods like bakkesmod (which allow cosmetic change) don't let you do that in a online game

[Shiro♌]

Without a video proof... You're lost, and no actions can be taken.

Next time, take them. I'd like to see some hackers, because I haven't met anyone, yet. No jokes, I mean it.

[日本語は上手ですね]

I can claim I saw a real hack in season 1 lol
Some guy was losing in 1s and began teleporting to the ball, hitting it multiple times so it never touched the ground. My stats feed was just aerial hit spam. Haha.

What you can say is "hacks are not common" but you cannot say "there are no hacks" unless you've played in every single game with every single player which would be over 400 million hours played on your account. I have over 4,000 hours in Robocraft as you can see in my profile (and over 7,000 hours if you add my other account), and everyone thought there were no hacks in it either but when I got to around 3900 hours I discovered a hack.......point is, just because you have 3k hours doesn't mean anything except that it was a convenient opportunity for you to I guess brag about your hours.

[Genghis Khan]

yep, yep, yep, I now know about the save replay......good advice, thnx.

2700 hours. I saw one hacker. In the very beginning of the game. But it is so obvious that no one cheats anymore. Maybe pros could have some really well developped cheats.. but for the grand public... I think u just received a lesson of life in rl.

2700 hours is less than .00000001% of all games played so it gives you no authority to make such a blanket statement.

Actually it does. People with a lot of hours have experienced more things and see more things. The fact that he has 2700 hours and has only seen one hacker says it all. I have almost 1000 hours and haven't t seen a single one. You got really lucky or unlucky to see a hacker I highly doubt you'll be seeing another one soon.

[Brimstone]

Never seen a cheater, never seen anyone else every posting about cheaters.

I don't believe there are cheats.

Maybe an official statement will satisfy you:

Nguyên văn bởi Psyonix_Dave:

One of the reasons we decided to use dedicated servers was to take control over the authoritative physics for each game so it could not be manipulated by clients. This is a sound strategy that will prevent manipulation of the ball and car physics, even on PC. However, we expected this might require a few refinements to remove any lingering bugs which is probably what is happening here. We have serious doubts that there are very many ways to do this and we can fix them.

Does that mean it is absolutely not possible to cheat once the holes are found? No, but the cheating is limited to client-side information, meaning the same information you already know about the game just by looking around the field. Can this give you an advantage? Maybe a bit but we seriously doubt it will help you beat any significantly better player. It is worth noting that cheating of this sort is not a PC-only issue either. In games like shooters this is a much bigger problem because aim-bots can simply aim and fire for you. In Rocket League you need to understand a lot more about the laws of the physical universe to know what to do. You will be facing the same sort of physics problems that robot engineers in the DARPA challenge face.

On top of this we can add player reporting and statistical analysis to detect "Player A just did something impossible". We do this regularly on other games. We're really just getting started here.

That was 4 years ago, when there was an actual teleport cheat/hack, which only worked for a maximum of a few weeks. Since then there have been no confirmed sightings and only few, not very credible, claims of someone cheating, without any proof.

As Dave wrote, the only things which will propably always be possible are trajectory prediction and aimbots, with the prediction being pretty useless for anyone above silver and the aimbot being so complex that it will propably never happen...

Of course, theoretically there could always be a security flaw that would allow some sort of cheating but realistically speaking it's impossible, due to the proper server-client structure of the game.

No idea what happened in the game you described in the OP, but as The Cure already said it was propably an experienced player, not a cheater...

I saw bigfoot. I mean, I didn't get a photo of it so I can't prove it, but it's REAL!

[reprodukTOOOOOOOOOOOR]

I can imagine hacks like permanent boost for example, but im not sure, what else could work in this game

You also ate some food yesterday but didnt get a photo of it either. I don't believe you ate anything.
