Game mode: (Online official - 1092
Type of issue: 3rd party software
Server type: [Enter one of the following: PvP
Region: EU
Player Finly using a 3rd party overlay. In this case only showing playercount, fps etc. But i don’t think it is allowed.
Please provide a step-by-step process of how the bug can be reproduced. The more details you provide us with the easier it will be for us to find and fix the bug:
The info upper right is a game system hud.
“INS”(commandline)“ToggleDebugHud”
For the rest whats visible, (all)streamers use overlays?
Yeah i know - that’s why i used the term ‘suspected’ because it depends on how the overlay is created. If it reads/writes into the protected process memory it means, that that guy is using a bypass for battleeye which is a cheat itself and contradicting the license agreements - without profiting much from it. It also depends on if it is a video projection/render overlay or i dx write.
And if not it still is a question whether the player profits from that information - be it a hack or not. What it shows is at least that he is circumventing the ping restrictions of the server making everyone on the server suffer from bad server-client model interpolation/prediction.
Not speaking of the 5 exploits he used and are documented.
In sum it is a collection of evidence on how differently situations are being handled in case i want to step back from the buying contract. I need to gather a certain amount of information on what is happening and how Funcom is reacting. If my customer rights aren’t taken care of by not banning exploiters, a legal case in a combined manner of many clients will be easier - allthough it will take time and some money.
I already supplied information on how to automate and ease detection of at least undermeshing, so it can be hanled by little to no staff consuming no resources from funcom.
So, that is that.
Ok copy, sounded a bit like a ragequit, xcuse, it is obviously not.
Tough subject,
Good luck.
Thanks for the info on the hud! Ye, the rest is standard streaming render overlay.
And no, i want the game to succeed. But that can only happen when legit customers are being protected from exploiting customers. It is a standard procedure in every other company in IT, sec or gaming - as well as full disclosure.
A clarification from funcom would helpto solve all these issues: it appears exploiting and circumventing game mechanics and rules to gain an advantage of other players and ruin their product usage is allowed? If that is the case then everybody needs the information on how to exploit to have an even gaming experience. I was asked to provide screenshot or video evidence of exploits - i did so - still those guys are ruining the time and money of others in unintended ways.
Now - is exploiting allowed?
Funcom has banned and will ban more players in the future for exploiting. If you want an official response, you will have to wait it’s 12:00AM in Norway.
Thanks man,that is good to hear. I just posted a server list in general where those exploits are happening - provided by the exploiter himself by screenshot. So it should be feasible to handle at least these servers.
I think you already mentioned it, but be sure to report what exploits exactly you have seen being used via exploit hunters. And if possible, how to repeat the exploits if you know how they are occuring. Funcom uses this service a great deal, and prefers exploits to be handled this way to try and prevent the spread of how to use said exploits.
Yeah, look at my latest 7 postings, thy mention these exploits, a description if possible and screenshots as well as video showing the exploiter doing it live on official servers. I sent them to exploit hunters as well. My earliest thread got set to invisible and i got no reaction - so i make it further public.
It is good if exploits spread. Then they need to be handled instead of just the bad guys profiting from it. This is standard procedure in it, sec and gaming and matters for legal cases. I am teaching in these matters at university and international game schools. And will continue to make it public be it this platform or industry.
Thanks for the heads up still! I am not interested in funcom/exploit hunters money - funcom is interested in money as a media company. So they need to act appropriately to protect its customers.
