Lag Switch is bannable, right?

[Lynfinity]

Got a game with some perkless Jake who was lagging like hell, making it impossible to catch him by just chasing him (good thing I was playing Billy, insta-chainsaw came in handy). I got a video evidence, so I can report him, right? Just want to clarify.

It's temporary ban worthy.

Never seen it that low!

If they were green in lobby then yeah, lagswitched or speed hacks.

Its bannable but how do you prove t?
Just because the ping was green in the lobby and the lag was high ingame doesnt mean he is lagswitching

lag switching... who would put effort to do that for DBD? he just had bad internet there. stop getting salty.

First, read my post above

Second, with every lag he gains more and more distance, like he's running with permanent SB. It's not possible because of a bad connection

Try again.

could be just bad internet.
Wouldn´t be the first time windows decides to download an update while playing dbd.

Even a video can't "prove" someone is lag-switching, as it can't show the person intended for that to happen.

Sometimes people just have bad internet that causes this to happen. They may not even realize they're getting an advantage over you.

Best thing to do is report them with the in-game report tool and say that you suspect something was going on. If they ARE lag-switching, chances are good that others will report them as well. And with enough reports the Devs/ Support Team will be able to act.

this. I had games where it showed I had yellow ping in the lobby, then in-game I was teleporting ALL OVER THE PLACE. Poor hillbilly missed alot of shots ebcause of the lag, heck, I didn't know where I was going. I was everywhere at once xD. So yeah, it's not impossible.

Depends,if he was lag-switching you would be able to catch him.
But,if you are unable to catch him,he is probaly speed hacking.

How does video evidence prove anything?
no one can truly know if someone is intentionally lagswitching unless the person admits to it.

Exactly. I couldn't catch him without using my chainsaw, he was way too fast.

Then he was speed hacking.
Report him in the report forums and send the video.

suddenly everyone is a lag switcher, when the most probable thing is just bad internet.
