If you are an admin of a server, what people told me is that the hack is patch-able by disabling fall damage, use the simple command falldamage.enabled false. It is a default command

edit: tested and works!

Thanks for the info but how did you test? Did you run the hack to make sure yourself?

For HFB server run it in Rcon and then put falldamage.enabled false in your cfg\server.cfg file if this is legit.

well it was pretty obvious when about 80 people on our server had almost all confirmed that the suiciding had stopped.

Well that's not a scientific proof but hey I implemented it and appreciate the heads up. Hopefully this will spare us until a patch comes out. Thanks man.

this does stop it, tried it

[angrynarwhals]

Any of you have a server where you've fixed this issue? Would love to play on it seeing as the official servers are unplayable with this hack. Thanks ^.^

It's apparently a command not a hack at all. So good job devs lol. But adding no fall damage does fix it.

It's not a command, it does it within a certain radius of the hacker and is automatic.

It must be a very big radius because I was in the very southern part of the map and another guy was up near Sweden and we both died. My suspicions are on a clan on the server though because just as I reached their base and asked them to settle, I was wiped out while they remained fine.

[Oleoay]

Maybe it's not a radius thing but an activity thing. I noticed that I tended to die if I typed something in in-game chat. Perhaps the script just captures usernames from the last x amount of minutes from the in-game chat, adds it to a list, then forces the fall damage to take place.

How to connect admins to show them that thread and solution ?!!
That cheat's everywhere now.

Just tell your admin to type falldamage.enabled false in the console

[crayon_]

Omega Man, I'm on official server. Who's admin? Where can I find their contacts?

[Obihorn]

Thanks mate!
falldamage.enabled false fixed it.

[smkymtnman]

Community to the rescue, nice fix guys. Great job figuring that one out!

[MysticShoe]

If you guys need a server where this command was implemented, go to the website element0.com, the ip is on the webpage

Yeah, keeping quiet on chat when hackers are about usually works.

Not really I'm pretty sure not typing doesn't affect it..
was going on the chat for a extended period of time.. the trick is to look up in the sky..
100% when you see a guy flying and looking down on you're gonna get suicided.

I saw a screenshot on facebook for a hack, don't know if its legit or not
but apparently it labels out everything in colored boxes, from people to resources.

My guess is they just fly around and see people in the area they're at from above before keying it in and force suiciding them in an area
On reddit some guy also said the hacker explained that there was also a radius control code in the command

[Maximum Over]

Haha - this explains why the servers I played on weren't affected. "Game ruined and totally unplayable" my ass.

Actually it's not "area hack". It's implementing by forcing to other player's console to do the suicide command. So it needs to name player.
How about use rename-trick. Like rename yourself to .. ♫♪♫♪ or ⁢⁢⁢
I mean at official servers

Well that makes no sense, how would disableing falldamage fix that?

That's not a "trick", that's functionality built into Steam. Players can change their name.
