MaverickFox 0 Posted June 19 Will the new anti-cheat work in Linux? Currently, while the shader comp is broken, it at least runs and eventually runs smoothly. Would suck if that changed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BlatMan 711 Posted June 19 Unbanning accounts that were affected by EAC is understandable, but everyone? Those cheaters have multiple accounts. Most won't care about the unban, but some will get back their rare items, like legendary weapons and themes. This isn't going to bring back legit players. This isn't going to bring in new players. It's going to be a circle-jerk of "I wAs LeGiT!" 7 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vsb 6171 Posted June 20 Quote We started the process of sorting out the false and positive bans from the issues with EAC a couple of months ago. Over the course of our investigation, we found there simply wasn’t enough information to make that determination. That meant we had to unban everyone, going back to February or possibly January. But it was hard to determine the exact date where the issues started. Then we asked ourselves about the fairness of unbanning some players and not others. We know that today’s announcement will be controversial, but ultimately we know that the new anti-cheat will start the process of sorting cheaters from regular players again as soon as it comes online. what does this even mean, how do you not have enough information on what players are banned for? isn't this the same issue you had 6 years ago with the fairfight unbans? why is there not proper ban documentation? Quote We didn’t just unban cheaters. We unbanned players who violated our terms and conditions, such as selling items online or bad conduct in game. A multi-year ban for those kinds of mistakes seems punishment enough. We believe in second chances. brother the second chance is the temp bans that are handed out for this behavior lmao getting a permanent ban for bad conduct in game means they've gone through second, third, and probably fourth and fifth chances already, anyone with a perma ban for this is just actively a detriment to the community 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kidi 14 Posted June 20 i can now play with my friend who game up because he was banned in 2014 (the reason was his stupidity at the time. (not cheating)). thank you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PingOVER9000 189 Posted June 20 Same loop, same story repeating . . . For starting, Can you get the registered version of EAC or and pay for a decent service as any decent game publisher for their own games ? (or bare least now with your so new proud matchmaking if you like so much cheaters, FiNe, just let them play and annoy between themself ) 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MACKxBOLAN 431 Posted June 20 Its all a Big Lie. its some jaw dropping propaganda. n yes my jaw dropped when i read matts message. It's like you staff sit n think up ways to trigger Mack. First off there were no Bans except one we know of, and he was not returned. You can't have banned anyone because eac never detected anyone hacking, and the only bans that went out were for behavior and the one guy out of bounds. So I can see the gms are gonna play protect the bad guy. So I'll have to just block chat. So they gonna run around name calling and aimbotting n we can say nothing about it. Matt refuses to fix the car, and spends time with distractions like the new Gold feeding MM. Come in to a district already filled with hackers, n let a bunch more of alleged banned hacks come in. We can't have any organization, first you finish the first thing, the car. Then u move on to trying to get a decent anticheat which you wont, then you fix mm to not have golds and legits in same missions. Ya don't make a car, then say the parts are just sitting there, n then skip it n do all this other hog wash, especially lying to me about banning hacker, nobody got banned but kerry. So I was right all along, The game is rigged, the owner is rigged and friends of the hackers. Your staff are here to protect the hackers from bans and chat insults. Yet the hax can name call all day long on the legit. So Now, All of U. The Toxics you unbanned, the gms, matt scott, all of you. Your all crooked and Im gonna deal with you the way I deal with crooked people. DEVEST Stop rewarding hacking with gold threat. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DouglasFalcon 125 Posted June 20 Excellent idea! My entire account was deprived of anything worth a penny a few months ago and my support tickets got ignored, but I'm glad to know that the reason for this is that we're giving scumbags a second change to ruin everyone's experience! Thank you, really shows how your priorities are being set straight. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ninjarrrr 255 Posted June 20 this could've been handled way better, instead of just having an unban wave on the back of a rise in rage cheaters in fight club and announcing that the anticheat has been turned off, you could've just waited until the *new* anticheat was rolled out and then do this. if matt thinks these cheaters aren't going to risk their accounts because "new content on the horizon" then he is sorely mistakn and/or delusional, as I witneesed people speedhacking on CBT accounts back in G1 era. and after all this is just a big middle finger to those who played legit, seeing all these losers cheat their way to maxing out roles then having their accounts handed back to them, makes me wonder why I even bother playing legit!

Only a handful of things arent considered cheating and all of them are "vanilla game" Explain why every streamer with a crosshair overlay was not banned at some point, which includes Summit1g. Shaders are still in that gray area, where it's technically not allowed, but LO don't enforce it. Maybe a positive thing is NinjaRipper will work again, so we can extract our characters before LO shutdown for good. Some of my characters will fit in with Tony Hawk Pro Skater and Jet Set Radio.

Weaboos 89 Posted June 20 (edited) >Second chances More like 4th chances 3 time this has happened. All cheaters got unbanned for the 3rd time. What a fkin joke. No wonder everyone cheats in this game. Absolute joke Might as well remove the anticheat and save some money that way, results will be the same anyways Edited June 20 by Weaboos 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MACKxBOLAN 431 Posted June 20 1 hour ago, vsb said: Please be careful as refusing to play missions is a form of griefing and I would hate for you to get into trouble. no Matt and the Golds/Hax get what they pay for, first 5 missions today v the same two gold hackers, they have gone out of their way to screw legit players. They wont fix the car, their buddy run around snapping and if you dont kill them with sub standard ammo, they call ya a dethreater. so hacking is ok, being toxic is ok, but if you dont hack, its call dethreating. DEVEST Stop rewarding cheaters with Gold. Pay Legits to face your friends with the nasty mouths and aimbots Stop catering to the criminal empire of the hacking business. And you can take that insult of a title n put it ... What'd You think some title excuses you for letting all these people hack and running your company backwards. And what numbskull idea have you, that I would wear such a thing. Ya charge money for car spawns, ya charge money for bullets that dont work on your friends. Why should I expend bullets that won't kill a hacker, why should i run back to be botted again. I can jog and just use my pistol. They gonna call names on me and my mother and hack me dead as soon as i show up. Oh ill show up, but i aint gonna sprint and hold two buttons, and im not gonna sprint in, and just feed the toxic imma hang back n fire rounds when i see a target. I wear fragile because LO makes running so slow and holding 2 buttons all the time running back to get botted again. only dif is now the botter will yell about my mother. We already had mass hackers, so no real change there. And the Damage LO did was already done just prior to the debannning. So its not afk like most people do to me anyway, its not refusal, it's simply minimal effort. Exactly how much effort Matt makes to rid the game of hackers. Just remember little kids, I have toons on both sides. Which ever side has the toxics and hax is the side i will play on. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
