We have been making a method to detect cooldown cheating but it's a little too sensitive at the moment and needs optimising. By next week it will be working properly and accurately. Count this as a anmesty to all you real cooldowners. We will not be as lenient next week!

PHEW!

I though that you had accused me of cheating! The message popped up when collecting cry. When i collected, nothing happened, but the reload came quicker. Then this cheat thingy came up and i nearly got a heart attack!

Edit: Be sure that it's not a bug before you activate your mighty ban hammer, i've spent loads of work on my account that i could have used on walking outside, meeting friends, and making my parents happy!

I was grinding for warscore on Lustra to win ladder this week, then I saw the message, I almost got a heart attack too, so I was about to write in the forum but then I saw that message hall of shame, and I think its good they ban the cheaters : )

let's hope that they're not innocent... but we are not on it, so they probsbly got more proof for the REAL cheaters

Don't worry, they are completely different problems, the people who were banned in the hall of shame were banned for hacking into the server.

what about lag/bugs :?:
sometimes i get 2 rockets in a row after a a 1 sec lag spike and sometimes when collecting collector charges but doesn't pick up the item and instantly cools down
i do not want to be accused of cheating when i do not cause of a bug or lag

Lol still very confused.

Many of those ppl were my buddies (others my enemy, im happy for some of them) but anyway I really hope SS is right.I wouldnt like them to be wrong and ban them for no reason.Anyway some of them were known as cheaters.

Anyway dont want to go off topic.Lol the same thing happened to me.I though I was being accused as a cheater.

Regards

I have same question .. what is cooldown cheating? You cannot control how long it takes to cool your ship right?
Just curious :D

by cooldown cheating, you can make the repair reload quicker, blaster shoot faster or as in my case, let the collector reload quicker

Is it just me or does someone else get this message when the really big lag spikes occur? Cause I once got that message after a massive lag spike at the moon and as obviously when you get lag on moon you die so I got a heart attack cause I though this was some kind of punishment. xD

There are two of us playing on the same network and i am the only one who keeps getting the cheat message, im not cheating, but dont know if i will be kicked or banned, is there any way this can be reserected as i do not want to stop playing. We both have seperate computers, but i seem to be the only one getting the cheat message :confused: I got the cheat message even on German Server while the other person was not online, which is a little confusing.

Domino, used to be DEVIZES, changed name due to harrasment :D

I am somewhat concerned over your so called cheat cool down detection methods. I mention this for one reason... over the last 1-2 weeks I have noticed (due to lag as the game pauses/freezes slightly when this happens to me), that when I shoot a rocket the bar goes up and down but no rocket shoots out, then I shoot again and still no rocket shoots out!! Then the game seems to catch up with itself (presumeably the lag finishes) BUT the odd thing is that TWO to THREE rockets go zooming out at once!!!

I see this as a major problem if your cheat detection system detects this as a cheat when it is really a game lag issue!! I , nor anyone else, want to be accused of cheating if your own detection methods are responding to a false positive!!

Please make sure your detections is 100% working correctly and accounts for the lag issue BEFORE you go accusing anyone of cheating!

I have not yet received a "cheat detected" message but I HAVE experienced the multiple rocket launches!

Thankyou and I hope you understand our/my concerns.

Not had the probs with rocket launching, but there have been times recently when trying to shoot at a target, the display acts as if a shot has been fired and the numbers change, but nothing came out. Several attempts later, the game seems to catch up with itself and sends a mighty burst of energy at the target, destroying it.

Again, no "cheat detected" message on screen, and I just assumed it was lag. But with all the cheat probs just recently, it's got me thinking and I don't want to get banned for playing the game properly. As Santa says, please ensure everything is working 100% before banning anyone.
