Hackers/Bots

[tiredtiefling]

Still a thing, somehow. Unable to kick a guy called 'Craig' who's on 0 ping.

i see that guy named Craig Balsam, since i saw him i cant connect to a lobby, and he enter to my lobby everytime

[FizzyEchos]

Had that same Craig joining mine and then after a few joins and leaves someone else with a flight or air traffic type name (i didnt get the name fully) joined saying the name of peoples cities and that it was "overcast, not a good time for flying" i closed the lobby after that

If anyone else has issues with a cheater/hacker/bot - you can access their steam profile through the playerlist, report them to steam for cheating in a game. Best thing we can do right now!

lol i just had that guy and was wondering why i couldnt kick him... he didnt interact or was seen in the entire lobby o_O

[tiredtiefling]

Yes, do yourselves a favour and close ur lobbies before u lose everything

[invisigoth]

Craig and Grincher.. both making me go insane. I've blocked both on steam but they still join. This is exhausting

Been trying to get my save corrupted and have yet to have it happen. Not saying if they can or cant do it, but I've been actively trying and my save is still here and have never been removed from a game... I did get a message in the top left saying "Connection to players lost", but the game continued fine.

No clue if its even real. I just seen people posting about it so I figured I would try and see if anything actually happens. Joined multiple lobbies with the user/bot (Dudes is in every lobby it seems) and tried poking at them to get something to happen and have yet to lose my save or even crash as some people claim.
I did get multiple "Your connection to players has been lost" in the top left, but was never actually kicked from the lobby and was able to keep on playing. Not sure what that was about, but it started when they joined. lol

My guess is most people just switch to another save spot and not realize it and think their save is gone or mess up modding the game somehow and corrupt it.

I dont want to say you'll be fine because im not 100% sure myself, but as someone who has tried to get their game corrupt by them its yet to happen

Not sure if this guys a true "hacker" but I've joined a lot of lobbies and keep seeing this XRECON guy. So far they haven't done anything but I thought his name should be on people radars.

I've been seeing the hacker grincher in every lobby I join today, I blocked them in game and on Steam. My save file seems to be fine, but I'd rather not play with a known hacker who likes to mess up people's games and lobbies. Guess it's offline/solo for me until the devs do something to stop them.
