Dedicated team for hackers

[tkvegas77]

This game needs a dedicated team to just focus on hackers. I know sooooo many people that have left including myself due to hackers. Most long term players leave due to hackers than from bugs or content. When people are duping C4 or jumping through base walls or using ESP/Aim hacks on every official server, that needs to be addressed ASAP or it WILL destroy the game.

I googled some of these websites and they are all over the place! $50 for 1 week of access to all kinds of hacks all packaged into 1 program. If someone is willing to pay $50 for 1 week of hacks, they will pay $40 for a new scum game just to do it all over again.

Sorry for the rant, I just know that so many people love this game but are turned away solely due to the hackers.

Easier said than done. Dayz has had BattlEye and infistar for years and still hackers manage to get around it.
There are security experts that manage websites and hackers still manage to get in.
In an online world hackers will always be about and there is nothing out there that can fully stop them unfortunately.
I too wish there was a way to fully stop it. But there isn't currently. And I don't think there ever will be.

Agree!

[tkvegas77]

you could stop the ASP/aimbot hackers. you would have to start logging every player vs player kill which isn't a lot in scum, on all top official servers and everyday roll the feed back and watch the 30 sec before the kill. do that for a few months and you would catch a ton of players.

The hacks can cost 50$ per week yes, but 1-how many people pay for it? 2-hacks are not undetected for ever 3-some players plays so good that you think they are cheating

Theres not many cheaters as people think, i killed some ppl with hacks just by smart play and camping, you just need to know game and have patience.

I know the game and how to play it. 1100hrs. 1- way more than you think. 2- yes they are if you don't over use the hack and use it in a smart manner you can go indefinitely with out getting detected. 3- yes on this you are correct but when someone jumps through a wall or shoots you through a concrete wall...they are hacking.

If you killed hackers by camping them they are not hackers...ESP hackers can see people from across the map.

Hacking is a much bigger issue than you think. If it wasn't, they would NOT be charging $50 for 1 WEEK! Its a good business because people buy the product.

cheaters, pedos, rapers are always there.

need bigger internet securitys and some kind of bigbrother system for steam users.
If hack a game, your steam acc should be perma banned

I have 7 times that, and I only play on official servers, and I can attest that since 0.7 came around, I havent encountered a single cheater. Good players yes. But cheaters no. Also, in my entire "career" of playing SCUM, 7 times the amount that you have played, I would say I've encountered about 20 cheaters that I could definitely confirm are cheating. There might of course be more, but those are the ones I can confirm.

In other games, I have met A LOT more.

Way less than you elude to here.

Sure, but that doesnt mean the person who killed you were cheating.

First one yes, second one not necessarily. Could get lucky.

This is more relevant for other, more popular games.

For reference, while I've met about 20 odd cheaters in my entire career, I have probably been accused of cheating more than 50 times, for various reasons. Yet, I have never cheated in any game in my entire life, not even monopoly. I'm not a braindead loser.

But that SHOULD tell you something. Hackusations happen every day, and most of them are just bad or new players being salty little children.

i`ve seen wolves go thru wooden walls and attack me in my base, i`ve seen puppets go thru doors and concrete walls and attack me, i`ve seen puppets spawn in room while i`m in it and attack me, i`m not worrying about some spotty kid in their bedroom applying a cheat in scum, if the server your on has players cheating go play on another server, there are servers with admins that stop players cheating, try raykits server cheaters don`t last long there.

[CrankyOldMan]

I have been playing in mp for almost 2 years now I have 4800 plus hours. I have been a admin of a pve server since feb 2021 I have played on numerous servers including US EAST 1...I have only encountered 3 hackers in all this time-recorded two of them and they got a perma ban from xKiCkx. The third we copied our server logs and sent them to a dev showing a player using a admin command that was not an admin to spawn in items!
Some computers have an advantage in playing scum-we have tested this on our server between admins and sent this video evidence in a DM to a dev to be worked on.

Prior to the admins having the capability to turn off player to player lock picking we had over 40 bans on our server for people lock picking bases or rides when the owners or admins were not online to catch them 40 out of the 200 some that have tried out our server that's 20% of the player base that does not go or play by the rules..

Some people just are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, they hack or cheat or are toxic but the devs are trying to stop the cheating and the exploits! Sometimes it is a game of whack a mole!!!

Its a thing of luck, if you face an obvious cheater/hacker youre being unlucky. Its dumb to use obvious hacks too, even if they are recently found. They will get seen and their users banned. Even more unlucky you would be to face cheaters who only use undiscovered/undiscoverable cheats. Well, i dont believe in undiscoverable as its likely just code, if a hole in coding can be found, it can also be found by someone else and patched. Cheaters are often playing together.

EDIT: Just imagine if steam accounts could only be made when you give up your national identification number backed up by your trusted national id service.

You want a real solution to this?

Develop an AI that can actually update cyber security and learn about new hacking techniques.

There, problem solved.

[tkvegas77]

So to sum up everything you said...cheating and hacking is not an issue and not happening as much as people think. Also...8000 hrs playing scum and you only ran into a few hackers?! 8000hrs...LOL!! I have been killed and even played with people in my 1100hrs that have been banned for hacking. I know of 8 people that have been banned in my play time. If hacking and cheating is a non issue then why have the devs stated on their last update that they are working on removing hackers? Also the $50 for 1 week of hacks...if there are no hackers on SCUM they would NOT be charging $50 for 1 week. They charge that because people are willing to pay for it. Do i really need to explain supply and demand to you? Either you are not the brightest bulb or you are trying to get brownie points with the devs, or you just want to show off your EP.

Keeping servers free from Hackers is no Masterachievment. You just need someone to keep spectating the players on your server. Whats the big deal ? I mean technicaly u have to be there 24/7 and it is boring AF but with Battleye and Active Online Admins its no big deal.

While writing the previous post i asked myself why even answer to those mad degenerate Threads.... damn .
