  • Well, I realy hope it will work this time. As I sent aprprox. 120 hacker reports till now, I´m sick and tired of reporting. So, I can´t wait to see you´re punishing and banning all hackers for good.
    Btw, good luck Z8.

  • I saw less hackers while this post was 1st :)

    Week later they all got back strong...

    I guess the trick is to make them fear for their accounts ... Didnt seem to last long though

    Im happy to see reporting works much better now :D
    Prevention would be a lot better, but revenge tastes good too

    ty Z8, keep a clean cf install fu**ers
  • Improvment

    I've seen less hackers here and there. Some still in Bravo, Alpha, and I don't know about Delta. Good job z8games! Making lots of improvment!
  • What does it sound like?
    NOOO MOREEE SPEED HAKERS.
    (:
  • I actually see more hackers this week...every Room i went..n The most finniest hack is that. A zp spop player shooting everyone down in tge base,when the round starts.. Once i hear spop said,ok lets go team... Than mission success, i don have a tiny bit of chance to look... Lmfao good job on the hack. Z8
  • I guess the server with less speeders is delta since it's only staff sergeant +.

    When a hacker gets banned, either he makes another acc and start playing but he cannot go into delta server cuz of its rank. I know it's easy to reach staff sergeant that's why I'm suggesting an ONLY SFC or Master Sergeant server (Maybe Foxtrot), so there would be less speeders.

    The new system works pretty well, I got banned but it was weird cuz there wasn't a hack running and when I hacked it was long time ago in a noob acc, fair enough. I guess my cf client was corrupted so I reinstalled cf not to get banned. However, I heard there's a program that avoids the new system so I dunno how Z8 can deal with it.
  • it seems nothing is being done, there is a cheat and hacker in ever room i go to play in, what's the point? why buy anymore zp? why play? the game is dead, time to move on and find a game where they at least care and do something to prevent hacks and cheats, i'm done with this game, i've waited long enough and nothing is being done, rip crossfire, it's dead.
  • i agree, i'm done buying zp, i'm done playing the game, why bother, there is a cheat and a hack in every game, z8 does nothing at all to stop it,except talk, well i'm done, you'll not going to get anymore money out of me for zp, i'm done with this game, let the hackers have it, oh by the way, they don't need to buy zp, they don't spend money on the game, so what are you gaining z8?
  • we need to be able to kick the hackers from rooms where they are playing, no voting involved, we the players that buy zp, need to be able to kick the cheats and ban them from the rooms we are playing in, otherwise, rip crossfire, it is dead, long live the hackers, z8 let them take over.
  • to what your already doing? which is what? and when did you do it? i've been waiting for you to do something to stop the hacks and cheats and all you seem to do is talk,talk ,talk, take action, if you want people to buy zp take action, GET RID OF THE HACKS NOW!!!!!!! otherwise why bother? there are other games out there, who needs this with all the cheats?
  • good, finally getting rid of no-good hackers!
  • good job? for what? are there still hackers in the game? are there still cheats in the game? of course, did they do anything yet to stop it? you could have fooled me if they did, there are more cheats and hacks then ever before, all z8 does is talk, talk , talk, well enough talk, it is time for action, do something or the game will be dead, it is already dying.
  • The Only thing that know to do sadin is talk

    he say that he put dissipline, but the only thing that he know and the gm know its talk, becos i dont hak, i am a realy good player, and i was reported by a idiot nooob, and my account it was suspended, now i have to wait a week and i lose my items becos sadin think that im haker, the gm just suspend accounts, but get the realy hakers free, and i lose very much of my items, so sadin reactivate my account please, im not hak, and u detection hak tols are olny designed to suspend accounts to up u trust with the players, so stop bothering and reactivate my account

    Hello Cross Fire Gamers!

    Z8Games has once again taken strides to improve the game and keep the people breaking our rules to a minimum.

    First X-Trap has been patching numerous times. These patches for x-trap are working on some of the issues our players have been experiencing. XP64 should load the game fine at this point. And we are working with xtrap to find a solution to the mouse issues that some of our gamers are experiencing.

    However this is not all we are doing. Today, we will be starting an automated detection and discipline process within our game. We have done this once before however there were holes and problems with the way we approached it. We needed more time and more technology to make this new process happen.

    Unfortunately we can not go into full disclosure on what we are detecting. This would give an advantage to the hackers themselves. However we ask for your trust and understanding that we are able to detect a multitude of malicious software programs that are being used in the game. But in the interest of complete disclosure and to stop the frustration, this process is not going to stop every malicious program 100% of the time. So please don't run around and make a bunch of threads with "there's still a hacker in the game". This process is ongoing and always evolving. So lets keep that in mind before the raging ensues.

    We should also include that this auto-detection and auto-discipline process holds no reservations on the type of user. Whether the user is the highest level, or has the most ZP items. Or is an alternate account, or whatever the case may be. If you break our rules, action will be taken against you.

    The discipline process will also remain private. Mostly because over time this process will change. We will be starting with a set 'period of time' ban for the account. As we move forward repeat accounts will be met with harsher punishment. We can also tell you that this first step is going to affect a lot of people. Which is disappointing for us, but necessary to make sure that everyone who hacks this game understands that we can detect it, and take action against you. We take this situation very seriously and are not stopping until we're satisfied.

    We log every action that happens on a players accounts. So repeat offenders are just as easy for us to find as the hacks themselves. So you have been warned (again).

    This process is also happening in addition to our regular hack checking and banning process.

    We understand that to some, the punishment may seem like we aren't doing enough to people breaking the rules. To respond to that, Z8Games would like to make everyone aware that we are working with the tools we have to create this automated process. We want to change the mentality of the people hacking in our game. To one where if you hack you can't get away with it. And as mentioned, over time, the process will change and modify as it gets better, less hackers appear and the game cleans itself up.

    We hope that you see the work that we're doing and that this next major step taken will help turn the game into a much more enjoyable place to play.

    :DI do not see power play time to see without hackrs

    more until this moment I have only one wish good luck to all

    and a good team work and Z8Games G4BOX.
  • Ok...

    This does sound very promising, nice to see that X-Trap & Z8 are actually working on this instead of just banning.

    I haven't played in more than a month and haven't bought ZP in 2 or 3 months. I was more tired of being kicked every second game than the few hackers I saw.
    People that use hacks are not the only problem this game has, and although I understand it is essentially a free game, those of us who spent time playing it, never mind the money, deserve something. Unfortunately, Z8 has mostly done nothing. As I said I haven't logged on in awhile, but I bet the replay system still hasn't been updated, as numerous other things haven't.
    I will still look through the forums from time to time, but I don't see myself playing, let alone spending money on this game, for a long time, if ever.
  • Once again z8 or who ever u pass the blame to , Falls flat on thier face once again .
    YOU SHOULD HOLD YOUR HEAD DOWN LOW AND ADMIT DEFEAT BY A BUNCH OF KIDS .
    YOU HAVE NOT GAINED AN INCH OF GROUND WITH THESE HACKERS .

    CF WAS AT ONE TIME A GREAT GAME , WHICH HAS GONE DOWN HILL FAST .
    YOUR COMPETION IS PUTTING OUT A BETTER GAME .SO IT MIGHT JUST BE TO LATE FOR YOU .
    IT WAS FUN , BUT YOU ABANDONED THE PLAYERS THAT MADE IT GREAT .

    NOW YOU ARE STUCK WITH A BUNCH OF HACKERS AND CHEATERS.
    HOPE YOU SIT AND SPIN ON THIS ONE .

    SEVERAL OF MY FRIENDS AND I HAVE MOVED ON . YOUR LOSS , YOU HAD A CHANCE.
    MAYBY JUST MAYBE YOU CAN FIX THINGS BEFORE YOU ARE LEFT WITH NOTHING.

    Why can't G4 Box do something like this?

    Because their money is more important than this.
  • Glad to see you are trying to do something. Until I see if it works I won't say Crossfire is dead. Let's just say its on lifesupport with a flat line. Stop the hacks or bury the game.

    well I am huge fan of Blizz really, I will activate my wow account when cataclysm comes out and uninstall CF. Enough they ain't gonna prevent anything or do something useful, 2 years haven't seen any, just posts like this but no action,now they removed ban list, we dont get any notifications, they started to forgive cheat after sometime they unban etc. CF NEVER GOING TO BE A RESPECTED GAME.

    StarCraft is around 60$, even after paying this money u would think cheat twice.
    now don't tell me this is a free 2 play game there will be always cheats bla bla, with the amount of ZP that I've bought over 2 years u could develop a new game plus I am not the only one buyer as u noticed :), this is a job, u are gaining money and in the return u are making your community unsatisfied, ZP buyers feels like victom,
  • Hell ye I agree ! What the hell are the people doing ? Getting pwned by little kids ... How pathetic.
