Egyptians unfair play

gafarcetince

As we know...players from egypt don't have a good ping
And now they "trick" their pings for make the game easier for them...

Everytime when i camp in tunel (hero mode - merida) an egyptian player suddenly appear in front of my face and infect all players which camp in tunel.
You want to know how they teleport around the map without hack? Of course you want to know..

I don't think egyptians have a good internet speed, so they slow their download/upload speed with internet speed tests like www.speedtest.net and this is how they teleport around the map without hack and without being disconnected

If you can prove that he is using a 3rd party program that makes him magically lag whenever he's infront of you then you can send a hack report ticket in support.

There is no 3rd party programs/hacks which help you magically teleport whenever you want on map.

I did same trick when i was playing Crossfire Europe and when i was have internet from another IPS with small upload speed.
On my phone (iphone6plus) i downloaded a app named Speedtest. Before enter in tunel i opened that app and i start a internet speed test (when the app test my upload speed my ping increase to 1000+ and then i entered in tunel, after speedtest ended all players from tunel was infected by me without seeing me how i entered in tunel) my upload speed was 4mbs and my phone used all 4mbs for test the speed.

i dont wan't to share any illegal tricks to players i just want to gm know that problem and fix it somehow./
Now i can't do this trick because i changed my ips and i have big download/upload speed which dont allow me to do this trick (download 300mbps/150mbs upload)

I see. You can't really do anything about it though, sadly. There might be a new feature in the future that has a ping limit on players who join rooms, so don't lose hope quite yet because this feature is in some CF versions already.

You can't really fix it without screwing over any legit players with shaky connections. They did try to circumvent it by timing you out if you lagged too much, but that seems to be a small obstacle to overcome.

And I recall that lagswitching, while annoying, isn't a ban-able offense.

A GM once said that it is. If you can tell that he is lagging at obvious times he could be banned. It will require a lot of proof though.

Yes only people from Egypt don't have "a good ping"
How can you "trick" your ping?
Sucks to suck find a better spot
It's not the fact they have slow internet speed, it's that they're "x" amount of miles from the server
How can you consistently alt tab, do a speed test (keep in mind this only lasts for like 6 seconds), alt tab back into the game and take advantage of "such a huge advantage"

Its actually easy to do so, with 2 monitors.

You can't change your ping. If you are somehow connecting through another server to make your ping appear lower, it still has no impact on your ACTUAL game response time. In fact it may make it worse for you. Also, I'm closing this because you are calling out a specific type of people on your thread.
