Hacked games?

[Duck Twacy]

I'm seeing a lot of units walking backwards, getting a lot of disconnected players. It makes me wonder if this is due to a hack or something else.

I also don't appear to be getting replies to other topics.

No, those have nothing to do with hacking.

Stop making "ThERe ArE A loT oF HaCkeRS!!!!!!" posts, you are just bad at the game.

Walking backwards is a bug. Same with units phasing through trees sometimes (mostly khmer units on arena and black forest).

Disconnects usually just that. There is a hack that allows a player to drop everyone from the game so it doesn't count as a loss and they lose no elo. This is less common, but still a thing.

The more common hacks involve giving yourself AI level resource micro, coaches or smurfs pinging and moving camera when game is paused, and taking control of a villager and moving it elsewhere while you aren't looking. Late game resource influx hacks are also a thing but less common.

Most problems are just bugs. But its also not as rare as people thing, mostly thanks to a german group exposing how easy and common smaller hacks where. One way to tell is people who are openly hacking usually lack a profile pick when the game starts or ends. This is due to changing the game files freaks out profile files and makes it disappear.

I knew about the disconnect hack, but didn't know about the villager control hack.

Either last year or the year before I was in a game with player using a superdog map hack on a forest nothing game. The dog with a red cape would fly around revealing the map. I reported him.

The resource hack seems most common.

I did not know about the resource management hack. It explains a lot of games where I played my heart out, and someone still storms in with ballista eles in early castle.

Whatever.

It's my opinion that units walking backwards is not a bug, but indicates a hack or other software being used on the game. I'm tired of it.

Thats forcing a desync, not forcing a DC. If they could force a DC, why would they not just simply get the W, but instead "doesn't count as a loss"?

No, you are just bad.

Not saying there arent hackers, but there are definitely not that many. And OP has been crying since HD days. Just go watch some rec of OPs, then youll rather give the benefit of doubt to whoever got accused.

Reported as a personal attack, and I'll forward a complaint to the DOJ's IC3 website, and will also mail in a formal complaint.

To whoever interested, heres OPs POV in an unranked BF game. 20 min castle time, 38 min imp time.

Big deal. You're just some black psychiatric tech from Stanford. And here's a better link for you;

Report submitted.

I'll also add that there's a paper trail of people interacting with me in the real world, and it probably involves you as well. See you in court.

Either quit trolling or get a grip. Government is not going care that somebody was mean to you on the internet.

1. The forest nothing map with the dog and red cape was part of the map. The person that created it, intended for it to be there, it wasn't a "hack" lmao.

2. If you think someone was hacking, all games are recorded by default. Maybe rewatch one and take a look and confirm this before talking about it on the forums?

3. It's your opinion that units walking backwards is a hack and not a bug eh? Can you lay out for us exactly how you were able to determine this? In MY opinion, you're just using the word "hack" as a term for anything unusual that you see in the game. Perhaps expand your vocabulary, or use a thesaurus?
