I want to thanks G4Box for the swift action that was taken to help me with my son account. There are some flaws in the auto banning system. Most of the player that got ban. They used hack but a few player get ban deserve to get ban

Those bans are like 50% for hacks and 50% for legit ppl! i was banned too, 1 week without play just for be a good pinpointer!

I would like to thank [GM]Sadin for posting in another thread (already got screenshot) that if you hack or hacked in a different game this could trigger the auto-ban. That is for sure an invasion of privacy, and against Canadian Law.

Banned...?

I was just banned on my main account for a week two days ago. I'd just like to say this is BS. At first I thought it was some whiny little kid upset that I killed him so many times in game. However, I stumbled onto this thread only moments ago and now I'm really irritated. I can not believe Z8 Games is allowed to do this and that they do not even thoroughly investigate who their "auto ban" system picks out as a hacker. I can deal with idiots in game vote kicking me because they claim I hack, but being banned for a week by Z8 is past the line. I suggest that Z8 fix this auto ban system so it is more accurate or scrap it altogether because now that the report system is so much easier the players will take care of the hackers by themselves.

i really do believe u. plz don't disapoint me....

Shellc0Ol · October 2010

Yes that right, that 70,000 - 30,000 is only 2 kill to death ratio, in the lobby i look at hackers with low ranks and 5,000 - 100 now that is a hack my KD ratio is only 26,000 - 24,000 and I always get kicked from matches mainly because I am a M12s user and its one of the best guns in the game for TD in my opinion for racking up quick kills. Also I get kicked from matches just for being the ace by the other players that want to be the ace.

I understand why I got kicked once... Extreme Dsr-1 camping 30 kills then I died at the end of the match I was 30 - 1 =]

So its an invasion of privacy because you hack on other games too? rofl -.-

You should be happy that this software is cleaning hackers from other games as well. They should get paid even more for cleaning cheaters like this lol.

LOL, well i personally haven't been banned on any account on any game, because I don't hack, but I'm just saying. I don't like the fact that without my consent they have decided to root around my computer and look at whatever they want to. It is in fact a criminal act, and while I can appreciate what they are trying to do, they need to go about it the right way.

Hoopla123 · October 2010

And really, they just need to add it to the ToS that they are going to, and by agreeing to them you have authorized this action.

BigHarvey · October 2010

They are not looking for what ever they want to, they are looking for files or programs that compromise the game. I dont believe, IMO, they would be snooping around your PC for any other information. If they did do that without consent, they would be in a ton of trouble and as a company, they wouldn't be that stupid.

Canas007 you r brain dead if a few innocents r banned while the sys is trying to pik up on the bulk load of Ha.ckers so be it .Appeal the ban if you r justified , they will review and re admit . The majority of those caught dont even give a da.mn they just play under different account name meanwhile the hacking threatens everything that this game was building up to become. There can not be enough done about the ha.cks till they r all eradicated, and 1 week bans will not suffice, anyone with multiple accounts from one ip address should have all accts terminated and the ban should be permenant. The report sys is far to onerous on the reporting plyrs as it currently is devised, making reporting too involved and subsequently less likely to happen many plyrs laugh at the prospect of being reported. Canas007 u r a moron that is clear!

mrTRUTH as I said days ago we cry for your poor woe begotten son such a cripple emotionally. Now you r gushing over with gratitude, what is it with u ?Either u have been smoking wild drugs (probably a meth head, as they tend to have emotions run the full gammit), or u r a psycho and need professional help, take the son u spawned when or if u see a prof. psychiatrist it will do him good to get out(though your company may emotionally disturb him)and your parenting skills will then be up for review. Then even your eyes may see the evidence of a moron raising a moron perpetuating generations of braindead DNA spawning.

Dude what is your problem? First of all, I just started playing again after a long break of this game and from what I can see there are more hackers than ever in this game. This new auto hack detector really is not doing much from what I can see. Second, I did appeal the ban and they fed me some bull**** about how they can not do anything and that someone "must" have been hacking on my account. I have put a lot of effort and time into obtaining guns and levels on that account and I do not want to eventually be permanently banned for something I am not doing. Obviously their system is deeming other programs as hacks when in fact they are not. And why exactly should someone who has multiple accounts on one ip address be "terminated." You are a ignorant moron for saying that. What about families who have multiple people playing the game? Should they be only allowed one account amongst all of them? And I have not played on this account in years. I made my main after I realized the best way to spend my GP from leveling so I could have certain guns. Is that against the rules? Should I be "terminated" for that? I think not. If you were in my position and your account was being banned for no reason and you had no idea how to stop your account from being banned again I think you'd feel as I am now. Finally, do not call me a moron when you can't even form proper sentences. That is all.

TheFROZTEE · October 2010

The point of this Malicious Software Detection is to make sure that you don't download hecks at all because they aren't cool..

When I used to play combat arms, i knew a hacker, but he only hacked against other hackers. you guys should get some willing GMs and let them hack against the real hackers to **** them off

TimStryker · October 2010

Im going to keep reposting this till someone in an official capacity actualy gets off their ass and replies to it. Very good questions and concerns herein; much, much better then some of the other crap youve botherd to repsond to. So take the time to respond to this one.

That being said, im still awaiting a response to an earlier post, which I say have some very fair and important questions. Here it is again. I want & would like a decent response to this please.

Id just like to ask for a little more clarification on this, please. So basically, youre going to have an automated system that knows what kind of behavior or gameplay characteristics to look out for from players, that resembles or indicates hacking & then it creates a report to be reviewed by Z8 staff so they can then take action against those players? Or is it this system is going to be 100% fully automated and be judge, jury & executioner & decide for itself if hacks are being used & this system will take action against the players itself; including warnings & bans etc.

Also can this system be set up to detect when players are glitching? Im thinking specifically of Mutant Mode. Z13 & Excavation, there are still several (well known & frequently used ) glitching spots. It would be nice if it was programmed to detect when a player enters in these hot spots. That would be very cool & if im understanding how this system is going to be implemented, that should be verrry easy to code into the system to lookout for when players go into these forbidden zones to attempt to glitch.

And lastly, I just want to know...I know some anti-hack systems install a program that browses through a persons entire computer or at least certain directories to make sure threre arnt any hacking programs installed, but due to legal issues (and rightfully so) this usually has to be fully disclosed to the person before they agree to accept it. I hope this isnt what was meant when referring to being unable to get into specifics & this kind of procedure is not going to be implemented without the users being aware of it.

CF_Killercas · October 2010

Z8

These games are so full of hackers I cant hardly play anymore. I cant play just for "fun". I try to get on to do the daily mission and many times cant even get that done. I mean EVERY game there are these speed hackers. EVERY game. I dont care how you get rid of them, please just get rid of them.

LoKGundam288 · October 2010

i agree actions need to be taken but i don't like the idea of z8 going thru anyone's system looking @ their music, videos, games, pics, etc. (and per Internet rule 344: "Anonymous keeps a copy of the unedited rules on his hard drive, along with all of your ****.")

i just don't like the idea of people d!cking around in my system.

but steps need to be taken.

I don't like it but untill something better is done then yeah..

i ran AMD fusion (still in beta last time i checked, its a booster like gamebooster but by AMD) and it told me hack tool detected so i uninstalled it and it never came up again. i don't think CF likes AMD and ATI <_<

since every patch out of the beta my fps has been getting worse and worse and even when my files didnt change and i did a full re-install. the patch before the katana was added i had 80-160+ fps on high. i now get 40-80 in the beta i had 211+ ....what is going on? it is something with CF since i can run other more demanding games on high or very high without a problem.
