Amen to that. I'm a GM in multiple games and we're banning lots of cheaters manually these days, especially closet cheaters who think they can bypass the system. This is a nice extra 'feature' working side by side with any anti-cheat system.

10 hours ago, Lign said:The problem is that all mice that you can program have memory. That means you can set a macro into your mouse by razor, logitech, a4tech, completely uninstall a software with full cleaning and have a mouse with working macro
Exactely. And if I recall correctly, people got banned for it in major leagues (CSGO). This kind of macroing is not hard to detect. The problem is hardware developers do not allow software companies to scan their hardware (lawsuits etc). The only proper solution to this is to actually scan static memory paterns (since most mice do not use dynamic paterns) and just kick when a known patern is found. That way the AC won't have to scan/access the harware macro itself and you're forcing hardware macro based players to play legit like everyone else.

Don't get me started, there where so many ppl using that. At least most of the normal macros got (somehow) banned, unfortunately the onces who really matter are still being used.

Exactely my point.

So with Battle Eye gone and EAC for the next patch, what will happen now until the next patch? No anti cheat? Please tell me that you've thought of this...

You know exactely what's in ppl's inventory and those weapons didn't get there by accident. It shouldn't be that hard. I've got screenshots from everything I own on Nekrova, simply because before the 4game to nekrova migration some stuff went missing and support wasn't willing to investigate. I lost top dollar because of the merge failure, that's not going to happen again now.

I hear what you're saying. This only proves that it's giving illegit people more leverage, simply because those who are supposed to set an example fail to execute the TOS.

The one he's using is a 3rd party software crosshair. The TOS is very specific about 3rd party game enhancers. Feels a bit off when SPCT says it's ok.

Wrong, it's way more then that. It all depends how the macro is programmed, they're not all 'auto clickers'.

That's about to change. A cheat on a BE game is taking way more time to maintain then a game on EAC. Prices of a cheat will drop so it will be easier accessable to the public. I know for a fact that 2 known cheat providers already have an APB EAC cheat on their 2-do list and I'm pretty sure more will follow.

20 hours ago, Noob_Guardian said:Considering Macros is against TOS and its almost daily I run into people using them, will it autokick macro users? (I dont want em banned just unable to use it without getting kicked) Cheaters aren't much of an issue anymore, but macros is seemingly constant.
The functionallity of a macro will not be detected. However, the 'macro file' might be. Knowning from AC experience, it's a difficult decision for a company to ban macro files that are programmed in for example AHK and let macros wich are 'build in' a mouse slide.

G1 banned quite a few players who often grouped up with the same cheaters after giving a global warning (on the matter itself) on the forums back then. I haven't seen any new 'set of rules' on this so is it fair to asume that this is still in play?

My conversation with Matt about this is from May 17th, 2019. I wasn't planning on using shaders anyway but it seems there's still some things that are unclear regarding shaders. A sticky topic could fix this imho.
-
7 hours ago, CookiePuss said:Messing with shaders is fine til 3.5
This was revealed in a private conversation between Matt and a player.
Forum rules prevent us from posting private conversations or we would.
That's weird, I've got a reply from Matt regarding this issue and he added that we're not allowed to use shaders. Better stay away from it just to be sure.
-
That's weird, on my end they didn't count and I checked a few minutes after confirmed kills. Will repair the game (if needed) and I'll try again.
-
Had a reply PM of Matt, auto-sprint is allowed. Thanks for clearing that up Matt!
-
Kills made with the Raptor 45 'Condor' are still not counting towards the Rifleman role. This bug has been around for a long time and has been mentioned before. Is this still on the LO 2do list?
Stuck at Rifleman role 15 and dying to use my beloved Condor and finish hte role...
-
Like I said before, a reply of a senior mod or up would be appriciated. It will clearly take away all doubts.
-
Thank you all for your replies but I kind of still hoping a senior mod or higher could confirm this so it will be 'official', I don't want to get banned over a technicality if you know what I mean Frosi.

19 hours ago, Lign said:Nah, it's memory based, you can make a symbol stealer as well but it's not that valuable
There was a symbol stealer back in 2017, around the same period as the theme stealer. The symbol stealer is still present but isn't used as much as a theme stealer.
-
I do recall a topic on the older forums regarding people editing config files to enable auto-sprint. Is this still allowed? If so, confirmation of a senior mod or up would be appriciated.

I had the same issue yesterday and fixed it by manually killing every APB process in taskbar manager + a steam reboot. Give it a try.

I have reached out to Innova to get a detailed list of transactions from them. To my knowledge, no one on my team has this (although that is not saying they didn't supply it to G1 before May 2018).
You know exactely what items we had on Nekrova. All you had to do is check the db inventory list and the 'missing' items could be offered as a redeemcode. Yes I realise that's a lot of work but also realise that lots of Nekrova players payed a lot of money (ingame and REAL money) to get these items but you already knew this the minute you took over APB from Innova. We're not asking for much, only to keep our stuff that we earned and payed for. As of the weapons that are not 'available' in Citadel: offer a simular Citadel weapon that's not in our personal inventory.
You took over Innova, now take ake responsibility and don't treat us the G1 way. It's not rocket science ffs....
