Players hacking on "dedicated servers.

[Comstrike]

Either the person running or a player going by the name of Proudeemployer95 dwells on a server named [US] Chicago Dedicated CQ, and essentially every single game, uses hacks to get into walls and cheat. He also uses another hack to fake comments by other players.

Obviously this is a legacy game, but are there any methods of dealing with said servers or people, aside from boycotting the server?

First off, the hack you speak of to make other people say stuff is just a chat trick where you press ctrl and then the letter 'J' at the same time. Doing so takes your chat line down one line so you can then fake comments afterward. For example...

William: lol
CTRL+J
Comstrike: im a ♥♥♥♥♥.

Secondly, There is a patch that stops almost all wall glitches, however, it is not released to the public because the creator doesn't want it to be.

The only advice I can give you here is to contact the admin for that server. I'll link his profile down below...

I can try to get a patch for the control J issue, if I can I will ban them, but thats not easy atm because regular commands don't work. The glitching is harder to deal with but hopefully there will be a different server up soon that will be glitch proof, and chicago can become a more competitive TDM server.

Us mortals don't deserve your attention, we of the lower existential plane. You have control of the forums and the servers, but you're too powerful to not be left alive.

So essentially there is a fix, the person doesn't want to release it. So the most we can hope for is that the hacker isn't also the host, and that the host will aid in taking action.

Also, strictly speaking I think the slur is spelled ♥♥♥♥♥, but I'm not an expert.

Hello AsLan, and my thanks for your attention in the matter, whatever can or can't be done it is appreciated all the same.

I added you on Steam so that if you see him, you can message me and I'll do my best to deal with him. That goes for any glitchers.

Noted and my thanks to all.

If you are looking for a better multiplayer that is stable and has Dedicated servers, check SWBFSpy

There is also a Discord server for it:

Also, if this were to ever happen in SWBFSpy, the server admins would be able to ban them.
