Type Mod / Hack Player

Postby CARL » 05 Apr 2012, 16:07

Hi,

Played a game just now with random players, someone is using a hack of sorts that allows him to type as the other person.

They were typing abusive messages to other players in the game lobby and messages were appearing as my name. Additionally the player was able to mark messages on the map such as "Noob" "Go Home" markers.

I am not really bothered by this however I thought I should report it should the FAF Development team wish to patch this as it kind of ruins the game.

The Players that were in the lobby were as follows:

Be aware of the players above as one of them has this hack.

It's not yet up on the replays for some odd reason, was a game of Thermo (No Rules) rough time was 2:45pm GMT.
On my Local Replays I have it as a broken reply due to my game crashing with a crash report.

ID for the local is: 50664-CARL.fafreplay (Replay does not have complete meta data)

Incomplete still has the game data. But why is it incomplete... attach the local replay please!

Hmm, that replay doesn't seem to show much.

Thanks anyway. I wonder why it was incomplete, probably the server dropped connection while you guys were still in lobby, but not in game.

That trick has been around for ages although I never learned how to do it. It was around for at least 18 months.
