Replays can be haked?

RayssaRelly

Well,my boyfriend caught a hacker while playing, and he saved the replay for reporting. After saving, we started to watch the replay.
So we were watching...when the moment (where my boyfriend said the player turned on his hack) came, SURPRISE! Replay crushed!! All became black and it crushed...
How are we supposed to report hackers when the replays don't work....?

Why would you need to hack them.

Not me. People who use hack in game. They hack the replay so u can't report them.

Never heard of it.
And I don't think its possible also.
The replay is not sent to you after the game.
The info of whole match is coming to you from the server. If it stops coming, you got a D/C.
And this data can be saved after game to use as a replay.
I think that data is incremental and replay renders it realtime thats why we can't rewind or fastforward.

Possibly your save file was currupted after saving.

How many other f2p fps games have an ingame recorder? not too many

Rofl xD. That's one of the most silly things I ever heard. How the hell would they access your computer to corrupt the replay file? Unless the plant some backdoor on your computer lol.

It's just a failure of the replay system

Shes not off now if its "Hack.ing The Replay" iunno bout all that but some replay files do get corrupt not sure how why but ive had the same issue before.

seems to be more common when saving a replay of an aimbotter that the replay crashed mid way through it

well why not try watching the replay and just before the big where it gets up to the hacking view a player who isnt near the hacker wait a few seconds see if it stays on then change back to the hacking player to view, also replays look really laggy when viewing them compared to when you where actualy playing so it might be a performance issue with the computer trying to play it through the CF's player if the computer itself cant handle cf to well

I was talk to Saidin about this a couple months ago. One that I do know of is when you are in first person and they knife someone. It is known to crash then.

FYI using any third party program (including hacks) cause cause the game to become unstable. Sometimes this results in crashes, sometimes it results in replay crashes.

There are some issues as Pain said that we've partially identified and sent in for fixes. The knife thing isn't consistent, but it seems not to help.

If anyone wants to send us full reproductions on what happened when game crashes we will take the data in and attempt to determine what the problem is.

If its a replay, try to switch out of first person view around the spot of the crash to the 3rd or fly mode. I find that helps.
