I second that Idea. ....but, make sure there is no confirmation needed on units such as the mobile bomb - Their lil slef-destruct is perfect; do not delay it by any means.

It has already been established, via POV in replay, that the self-destruct countdown timer was in effect. Given that cheats were not in effect, the only possibility was that the player somehow managed to self destruct their own ACU by mistake. This is actually easy to do. Because in the heat of battle a player will need to call in all their units for reinforcement. However, they do not have the time to zoom out. So many players will press Ctrl+L to select all land. If however they strike "K" (which is right next to "L"). It is likely they could have initiated the self destruct (Ctrl+K) on their own ACU. I have done it once.

^^ ZeP. Can we please mark this one as solved?

Are you sure he didnt snipe you with something?

Billy or t2 nuke launchers as an example? The shells look like normal rounds flying through the air for these.

While I can get the replay to load if I modify the version info of it, it will desync after a few seconds so it's no use.

What I can however fetch from the replay is the game parameters as they are dumped by my replay parser:

Maybe this helps clear some things up.

The replay can't be loaded, but I've seen this situation before. The same complaint, there hadn't even been exchange in fire yet and the killed player immediately accused his direct opponent (Isis) of cheating. I checked the replay and he had a countdown, pressed ctrl+k instead of ctrl+l. The same thing probably happened here.

Ctrl + K is very easy to do by accident. Because it is possible you may have gone to select all land, which is Ctrl +L, and only one key apart. It is also possible that the "gg" of the other player could have been intended as a sign of defeat. It could have been that you killed yourself in the very moment of victory.

I've done it before too. It does happen.

There´s almost no possibility that all this would happen at the same time, there were too many coincidences in my opinion to be classified as a mistake on my side: we winning, he saying gg, my commander starting countdown at the same time, afterwards he doing same to avoid any issue...

see, nobody would be so stupid to write gg in the moment he cheats, that would be so incredible silly, you accidently crtl-k, can happen.. get the crtl-k-confirm mod

Been there done that.... :L

Well I think the best thing you can do is to remove the player's names from your post and instead PM a moderator with the information so he can take action if it is cheating.

Cheat Report

2013-07-28T02:08:39+02:00

Hello everybody,

This is actually my first post in this forum, althought I´m an old supcom fan & player and just started playing on FAForever for this summer.
I´ve never had any problems with cheating on supcom but I think this might be the case:

It´s a 2 vs 2 game in Daroza´s Sanctuary (replay: id=1143168) starting today at 0:16 between my friend mitor & myself(wsk) vs. Popsniper (the possible cheater) & Wiza.

Everything was going OK for us when it happened (14th minute aprox.) that Popsniper wrote a gg. Suddenly with no aparent reason (no ctrl+k at all, the commander wasn´t even selected for me) my ACU exploded. Afterwards Popsniper exploded too. This is really strange since there was no tactics or snipes on the other team and mitor had omni.

I don´t really mind the result of the game (which continued and was lost and probably wouldn´t have been lost otherwise). I just find this extremely annoying on my gaming experience. You can see the replay here

Greetings!
