i dont mean to sound like a hard ass. actually i do. but im not saying its the gms or g4boxs fault for the hacking situation but it should be their responsibility as the licensee to make sure the customers are receiving the best quality and game experience possible. the only reason why so many ppl play is because the game is free and frankly bcuz there are a lot of hackers and its easy to hack this game. for every 10 that are auto-banned there are 10 more that are going undetected. something has to change. saidin u are not getting yur moneys worth with xtrap. get rid of it. make something happen.

in response to Saidin -

the answer i expect is that you are making strides to explain to neowiz that xtrap is not working as it should. u are working on "getting by" and patching hacks as they come along. between the trio of smilegate/neowiz/g4box something else needs to be done. xtrap isn't doing it. u are paying money for an anticheat that most likely eliminates less than half of the actual cheaters. that doesnt seem wrong to u? i guarantee u the next time xtrap patches i will go in not an hour later and the result will be the same. thats not wrong to u? i understand hacks will never be completely stopped but get something to bring the ratio down. this battle is ridiculous.

INCOMING TL;DR


Youre crediting XTraps usefulness on undetected hacks. Wrong way to look at it. An AntiCheat's job is just that. It is supposed to BLOCK cheats.. It can only do that by patching that specific cheat into the AC. Its not going to detect that a new hack its never heard of.. is it? XTrap goes one step further in regards to anti hacking, which keeps hackers on their toes when they release multiple hacks. Unless its a Heuristic anticheat... which I SERIOUSLY doubt it is

Its has HUNDREDS of hacks blocked at this moment. Remove XTrap.. and all the hacks come flooding back in.

Smilegate are the Developers... not Neowiz.. which implies you havent done an ounce of research before coming here. Neowiz are publishers, not developers.

Smilegate are usually patching loopholes in code in each monthly update. I can name a few examples being the Box hacks, most speedhacks... each one appears to work different to the next. From my understanding, the current speedhack forces you to crouch which is much different to previous ones. Before that, Smilegate had them cornered for a good few months before coders cracked it again. Is only a matter of time before its gone again. In addition, fly hack is useless. It may work.. but it will work for a short while.. hence why you rarely see it. They'll client error if they go too high, inside something ectect.
Also, Most one hit hacks will often client error you in some modes. This is by far more suitable then just letting them go free while XTrap take the time to patch it.
Wallhacks, see ghost ectect are "drawn onto" the game. That cant be coded out since it isnt exploiting gamecode (as far as I know). The specific hack file can only be patched. Most games have these including popular games with "superior AC's" such as CS and COD.

No code is 100% perfect. XTrap will miss things out. It will miss hackers and not disconnect and ban them. However if does for alot of them. You dont see this, nor is it announced which is why you think its useless. Without XTraps autoban feature.. things will be a hell of alot worse. You must praise them for that for as far as I know, no other AC has an autoban feature (excluding VAC which actually delays bans.)

Of course there will be cheats. Crossfire hacks are too widespread. There are foreign sites distributing hacks we dont know about and therefore havent patched. XTrap get a massive workload as well as G4Box with the hack reports. Its just too much and more often then not, theyre false reports by some foreigner or they send in a ticket asking for a player to be banned with no evidence.
Ive read reports before a bit ago and honestly... out of the 100 I counted, (Yes before the new replay system came.. watched over 100 replays to find the hacker and determine if he was cheating) roughly 70 were properly filled in reports, of which 46 were LEGIT reports. So thats 54 reports who people were convinced were cheating, who werent actually cheating or hadnt filled in a ticket with the correct information and was therefore useless. Chances are, this happens today. The exact same thing. With people using broken or no english at all, false reports... incorrect reports ect ect and then come onto the forum a week later and wonder why the person they reported wasnt banned. (This task took me 3 days to complete. Imagine how many reports are sent now with the limited support staff with thousands of reports to file through in a reasonable time... its impossible.)


I feel as if I forgot something in my essay to you... Oh well..

TL;DR? Tough. Read it.


the time u hve wasted defending xtrap could have been spent lobbying for a different program to neowiz. lets face it u have spent a lot of time defending xtrap.[/QUOTE]
