Cheating is becoming extremely rampant...

[Moe]

Just played against a guy who used some type of hack to prevent my units from attacking his they would just stand there even though i've ordered them to attack multiple times.

EDIT : THERE WAS NO TREATY STOP BEING SILLY I'VE BEEN PLAYING AOE FOR OVER 10 YEARS

[Satekoi]

Is there Treaty on? Did enemy attack too?

[Chocopatine]

I was thinking, i m alone ... No ! U too u think they used hack !
PArty Treaty : During treaty no problem, eco : ok, Army ready, wall built... After treaty : Horror. I make one action, ennemy make 10 actions in the same time. We can accuse server, but i m sure they use hack.

Sorry for my english... I m not english ! :D

Yes and no. First of all there is a cheat system integrated in the game. Actually you can use it for handycap, like in golf. So strong and weak players can play well together. If these integrated cheats are activated you can see before. Everything fine so far.

There are also real cheaters from time to time. That's the way it is in multiplayer. I don't know any multiplayer game where you don't come across a cheater at some point. Some are even overrun in certain areas, especially certain MP shooters...

With @Moe it sounds like a Treaty and with @bob it sounds like an experienced hotkey player as opponent. Mouse clicks are for casual players but to put everything on hotkeys sounds like years of experience.

In both cases I do not believe in cheats.

So sad to see hackers in AOE3DE, i guess the amount of basement dwellers at this time is so much, so pathetic and how sad can their lives get if they hack in a game like AOE?

Was your oponent indian? They have a wonder that lets them stop units from attacking for a short period.

I have played this game for 800 hours i have not heard such kind of hack before. It is clearly you misunderstood some in game mechanic such as wonder/treaty etc. And if you are a hacker, and coder, why would you put so many effort to make opponent units "stand still" while there are literally cheat that can spawn 100 samurai in your town center?

maybe, you are doing attack move while a died hero is in the group, it's a bug, not hack

dude i've been playing this game for over a decade I know wtf treaty is and how the indian wonder ability works. There was no treaty in this match his units were killing mine and mine would stand still and not attack his at all. Not only that he ended up ddosing my connection after I called him out in chat infront of other players.

Replay?

All my time playing AOE online since AOE 1 launched. I have NEVER encountered hackers. There are no hackers I've come across in AOE III Definitive, as for the other player that you thought was a hacker, that is simply not true. There is a common bug in the game where units will not obey commands, they either go into battle doing nothing while the enemy is killing them, going past them or standing still. Do not falsely accuse other players of hacking. AOE III Definitive hasn't been around for that long, so it's pretty new, some that we think are hacks are actually bugs...All you have to do when you play online if you can't stand other players, host PRIVATE lobbies, problem solved...

then it is a new cheat that you should report in the AOE support forum. but it requires footage and evidence
