Since “The new Funcom game” is a waste of time for pvp I want to play Conan again, joined a private and on day 2 it got deleted (other privs have stupid rules about what you can and cant do), but I would like to know if anyone still experiences cheaters that can kill you on the spot, tp into your base and loot all locked containers, hit you and erase all your gained knowledge. Are people still using these cheats? (several months ago they were because I rejoined and within 3 days it was happening again).
Yes, it is still ongoing.

Well for the last 3 official servers I our clan has been vacuumed, they have taken all from thralls , myself, my clan mates, benches ,locked vaults,locked chests all from outside the base, and outside of raid hours.
This game is now not worth playing on officials, I have been looking at the cheat forums, and they have bypassed batleye a long time ago, part of the cheat involves network side beyond scope of battleye using their own servers as a man in the middle.
On top of this my character can no longer kick,punch,or block I can use weapons but nothing as before, as well as potion of bestial learning is also gone.
Another thing as well I have lost the ability to lie down it seems this is also been taken. Bearing in mind this is a lvl 60 char, nothing to do except create new char.
It seems dying fixed the ability to kick and punch again but not the lying down.

i can only confirm this is situation of official without any exageration and worst than that you can now no more even report hackers and cheaters, as tickets are not reviewed since june and sky of servers are full of structure half blowed (because raided) that will never decay (skybase)

Whether a server is private or official, it’s about the admin and the quality of the players on the server. Bad people make bad gaming environments. A good gaming environment, void of grieving, cheating, perversion, anachronism, or a sociopathic inept admin is more rare than gold. People have done with gaming what they have done with social media which is the same thing that people do to each other all of time… violate each other with neurological warfare. It won’t be going away and it will never be controlled. The best gaming environments across are private, invite-only, and often paid access.

Thank you for those pearls of wisdom and stating the obvious but this has nothing to do with what op was asking.
I didn’t lie and what I stated is relevant to the initial post.
I never said you lied, he was asking with regards to officials and cheaters not some opinion with regards to the state of humanity.
Every time someone asks on this forum with regards to officials someone always pipes up with regards the best way is private, be that as it may, the op asked with regards to is the officials as you would not get cheaters on private servers with active admins, just power hungry admins.
In the last week or so I have been vacuumed three times on officials, so yes Conan official servers are plagued with cheaters.

Even with RP and PvE on a private server, the common experience is summed up in this reddit post by an RP player:
That was posted by somebody today. Such posts or experiences are not rare, a secret, or a mystery. Whether private or official, it’s about the type of people you play with. However, by far, a private server managed by a good admin and populated with players that are not anachronistic or sadistic is what’s best compared to the official servers. My clan and I have 2 servers (one for each map) and we have no grievers or cheaters. No, it’s not many of us, but none of us are experiencing any of what is common across official servers with common players. We actually enjoy the game in ways that most people will never know. That is because, as the admin, I know the game, the lore/canon, the “goalposts” don’t move, and everything is ran/maintained well. Each person in my clan does not play on official servers because of what is known about doing so. Nobody in any clan on our server plays on official servers or other private servers and our server is paid access. We also have a stringent filter that disqualifies the common player in order to preserve our gaming environment which is composed of serious RP players and not a single one of them is a guy that uses a female RP character. Another issue is that many servers have guys that RP as females in the game and that totally breaks any and all immersion.

The potential for cheating to happen on multiplayer is still around, yes.
Unless/until further measures are taken by the company this situation will always be present to some degree.
Consoles deal with cheating at 2 levels: exploits and lag switching.
PC has 3+ levels, adding on 3rd party injection programs and exploits within the .ini.
Don’t get me wrong I understand where you are coming from and wholeheartedly agree with what you wrote here, and as you pointed out you have no cheaters due to the reason you have given, but for me when I first started I met many great players on officials as this was the first port of call for online play,and still is as without this I would not have met these players and then come across this forum where the private servers are advertised.
I was so peeved at being vacuumed for the third time and as the op had asked with regards to cheating I assumed rightly or wrongly that he was referring to officials due to the wording of his post, and when I replied I had expected someone to mention officials as bleh and privet servers as the only way, as seems to always be the way when someone mentions official servers and I guess I was a little touchy at the time, my apologies for coming across as peeved as I was but not at yourself.

So you are aware that you can disable building collision with a simple .ini change?

No you cant
Oh yes you can. It’s how a player named Gerz (former name of Dagger) “meshes” into people’s base. He bench wipes people nightly and if he raids you he will always start AT your beds.

Thats interesting, so theyre modifying packets. Either someone broke the encryption or some packet types arent even encrypted.
Edit: What I said is probably wrong - im expecting too much from people. Its probably something really stupid like… changing a .ini file as stated above - lol.
Yes they are constantly undermining battleye and even produced a program that emulates battleye which enabled them to run the games playing on official servers whilst reverse engineering the actual game.
The hacks that are paid for are two part cheat programs one part of this is network related and from what I have gathered you are connected to their servers, whilst I have not used any of these cheats this information is freely available and it seems that battleye does not cover network related activity, the game uses tls encryption which like the ampq messaging has flaws and can be like all methods reversed engineered.
Again this is all freely available information as well as the documentation for unreal engine, as far as ini files go there is also a well documented list of all of the variables that can be used.
What do i need to change then? You wont say anything because you are just guessing. He is using 3rd program not editing some configs lol.
This is but one list, you still have to know what they are and what they do and when they can be applied, either through in game console or ini tweaks being picked up as cvars, or whether they are ignored at runtime due to being disabled or overridden by the game itself.
Since no one cares I can tell you.
You need to edit DefaultEngine.ini.
Go to section [/Script/Engine.CollisionProfile]
Find +Profile with name “BuildingStructure” and set “CollisionEnabled” to “NoCollision”.
In singleplayer you can see the effect. On multiplayer you have to work with disconnecting up to 30 seconds.
