How to alt f4 multiplayer?

[董]

Just had a game with sxx223 so call rank 5 on ladder.

Annoying thing is they still know how to use the old f4 thing. Albeit a more improved version, obviously just as ure owning them all a sudden u get dropped out of the game and boom, gave u a close defeat. Lost 300 points dropping me to rank 23.

Obviously this isnt the first time this happen but im extremely curious how that still works. Not only they dont lose any points, they actually had a count as a win.

Extremely frustrating the leaderboard is still plague with low skill noobs, wasnt they suppose to get 5% drop on ooint on whatever dc?

What is it really, cable pull? Forced shutdown? Hpw r they able to shock the system into tricking it and getting a free win while opponent gets instan lose?

Quite a bit of talks over there. Only getting politician answers, bunch of nonsense response with no real answers. We all know its been happening on months, thing is how? How did so little selected few know such exploitation, obviously the high rankers used it, sx32 rank 5 is one of them, while the rest have to grind.

Lol whats worst an official respond dated 18 apr, like a month ago, stating they r still trying to find the cause of the issue.

Wth ca....

it's not alt f4, that would mean they drop and they get the loss

what happens is, they make you drop, so you are the "one leaving"
i think it functions the same as a ddos, where they "overload" you so you lose connection

Thats the thing tho, how?!

Do they have some sort of hack program or something so is that game even safe lol? But i ink ure right, all a sudden i got quite laggy, didnt last long before they got thru and dds me.

That depends if its clientside or serverside connection. Very possible for the former, nigh impossible to do for the latter.

CA nees to spill the beans on which one it uses to have any progress in the matter.

eitherway, the game recognizes as the "targeted" player being the leaver, and awarding the victory to the performer

This explains alot. I've had this happen to me several times recently after coming back to multiplayer. Wierld freeze then few seconds later you get dropped and says you were defeated.

Super annoying, is there anyway to avoid this? I dont mind a draw but to be awarded lose while the stupid noob gets a win is really bad.

I don't know, but if you ever want to play with someone who doesn't do this cowardly crap hit me up

I do not understand the fun to be had doing stuff like this.

So you are on the leader board to impress who? People you have never met and likey never will.

Even if they got all wins they would know they are not really all wins. Just makes no sense to me.

Totally irrelevant, ppl do things for their own satisfaction. Exploitation of software mechanics to bug the game is pitiful. You may not understand because u dont strive for challenges.
