Post #1As being said i would like to know if the game is still infested with hackers and such? so how is it going lads?
is the game playable yet?
-
-
Way less hackers then before cheatpunch, the game is actually playable now.
-
I've only run into a hacker once in my 200 hours playing.
-
But there's a GREAT Problem about the Hackers!
As I heard about it, you can reset your local Steam ID, and then you could play again.
This is just on my point of knowledge, so don't flip if it isn't wright.
---But YEAH, it is A LOT better than b4---
-
There was a ban wave recently, probably not so bad for a small while..
-
There are ridiculous amounts of hackers atm. Probably the #1 problem in Rust right now
-
On official yea because no one actually looking after hackers
-
There is a ridiculous amount of hackers on all servers, they use aimbots and ESP's and it goes undetected for the most part, I stopped playing due to this. Even the tools givin to the admins is piss poor and they have an extremely hard time catching them unless the hackers are blatant and fly around.
-
I saw two the other day. 1.) on a battle server just flying around, running super fast aim botting
2.) Was on the server I play on, he was in all cloth with a p250 me and my friend got the drop on him, not knowing he was hacking. I shot him once, between the time I got my next 2 shots off he killed my friend instantly and had me down to 32 health. The only reason I think I survived was I got lucky with a head shot after hitting him twice. Now me and my friend where a good distance away from each other and where flanking him. No one can head shot people down that fast especially at the rate of fire he was shooting with the p250. No one. Hell my friend didn't even get a shot off.
I would say aimbotting is the most common hack I come across.
-
You would be surprised of the amount of people using discrete hacks like esp and never getting caught.
-
Hacker are still out there, not flying around, just hiding and waiting. But that is just in community servers, official server are their playground, nothing stop them there, you can see them flying, aimboting, using deathly areas and probably more, all that at the same time. Cheatpunch and ban waves seem useless at official servers.
-
Only on the pirated version.
-
There still hackers around, I just banned one yesterday from my server then a few hours later he came back with a new steam account and another copy of rust.
As Grangoko mentioned, to not join official servers. They are never moderated by live people and only cheat punch keeps some of the hackers at bay. Your best bet is to find a nice active community with fair admins that are easy to get in touch with. Let them deal with the cheaters while you have fun :)
-
I stick to community run servers with active admins and I have only encountered one hacker so far (Since mid Jan)..... well, when I say I encountered one hacker, I was on the server at the time when a bunch of players were screaming that a hacker was destroying their base and I saw one guy sky jumping way off in the distance. I was not directly in any sort of contact with the hacker nor did they affect me as they focused on a larger bandit group.
Unfortunately at the time, the admin was offline.
Experiences may vary of course, but my personal experience thus far is that hackers are quite rare.... but again, that all depends on the servers you play on. The server I play on now has about 4-5 active admins.
-
it's still a priority http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1369576

Hackers are still a massive presence and it seems as though they tend to appear in big waves here and there. Had not much of a hacker presence of all then all of a sudden, a cpl days back, there were no less than 7 dead obvious ones that joined our groups server over a period of several hours and got banned. And of course, that is just the dead obvious ones... I am sure there are others we are yet to get that play it a lot smarter.
So without a doubt, there are quite literally tons still out there that are not picked up quickly by the current cheat prot. I can only assume that the un-managed official servers are insane with the number of them.
-
If you're injecting the client you will end up getting caught.
-
I havent played since before the zombie removal update, three days ago I decided to log back in and take a look around at all the changes to the sky, and animals, and even the landscape seems to have changed some by Resource hole.
I was happily taking it in and BOOM some scrub with speedhacks named Micheal Myers comes up and starts rocking me to death...I tried to fight back but I've not had much practice timing my rock swings with somebody that fast lol...I'm going to resume my break for a little longer I suppose.
I really miss this game but I do not like the current state it is in, You guys really need to get one step ahead of that Helios guy and figure out a way to get his hack detected because his is bypassing everything.
-
there was a lot of bans not that war away so i think it wont be mutch hacker now ofcource new hacks will come that will overcome it .some servers got more hackers some got less . i once tryed 3 peaple server all the time i get spawned same guy kill me with p250 hs diffrent places (hack) but i also played in some normal size server and met like 2 hackers in like 4 normal size i tryed
-
I see lots of people complaining about hackers. It must be an issue of servers who are poorly moderated or official servers.
I have over 600 hours of Rust. I played on 3 different servers and really... I didn't have much problems with hackers. All servers I played were/are modded and admins are very fair/active. Simple. Pick up the good servers and have fun.
-
There are a lot less hackers. I don't run into them as much. At least not the blatant ones.
-
they probably play till they get banned then move on
-
Personally I think they are on the rise. I donate towards a server that has a dedicated admin team to weed out hackers and to be honest the last few days have been a nightmare between 9am and 12 gmt we had a group of around 4 Russians all fly hacking spawning C4 and aimbotting to the point the game is turning me into a closet racist because the majority of the unsocial perpetrators seem to be Russians.
Since a reset around 4 or 5 blatant hackers get removed daily and unseen guys that are clver with esp`s and aimbots they may take a few days to remove. Its getting to the point where we are going to ban lvl 1 accounts but that ruins it for new starters.
Personally dev team need to make anti cheat priority
-
What do you think EAC is?
-
It's an online game. There are hackers. There will always be hackers.
If you're waiting for hackers to "die down" I'd love to know what online game you're playing in the interim that's hacker free.
AAA developers/producers like EA and Activision have "gazillions" of dollars and that doesn't stop CoD and BF from being infested with hackers...or their customer service from being completely terrible.
At least FP has taken a pro-active two-prong (working on three-prong) approach to dealing with them.
Do you know of any online games where the hackers have been "all banned?" because I'm sure everyone would be interested.
-
It depends who you ask, personally I haven't run into any. But people are constantly talking about them on here.
-
Anyone who says they havnt seen any hackers, just doesn't know much about the game yet/ is really bad/ sits only in their house off the map/ is just spouting lies.... period Ive played on over a 100 servers since steam release and have over 1200 hours logged * thank god I dont work in the winter *
I have seen not hundreds but thousands of hackers..... The first couple days it was out where very nice thats about it... but those first couple days maybe I was just to noob to realize what they where doing
-
Or maybe they just don't call hacker everytime they get killed and instead rely on concrete proof.
-
First about my friend, this is called VAC!
Second, they already implemented themselves a Cheatprotection.
(But this not turned out as planned in my opinion)
I think they should replann/do their work, because to think that VAC is the solution, is terribly wrong!
VAC is already 10 Years old, and in software age, this measures up to about 30-40 Years...
Totaly out-of-date
-
No EAC and VAC are two *DIFFERENT* things.
Rust uses three measures of protection now, VAC, Cheatpunch and EAC.
And you can call my math a little fuzzy if you want but I'm pretty sure 10 years "in software age" measures up to...about 10 years.
I know this sounds crazy but has it occurred to you that in those 10 years they might have...I dunno...UPDATED their software?
Photoshop was released in 1990. It's 24 years old. That would be 72-96 years old "in software age" according to you, and would have predated any computer capable of running it.
And yet...people still use Photoshop. Totally "out-of-date" you say?
-
Garry said Cheatpunch was only a stopgap measure and he expected the hack writers to soon bypass it, if I understood correctly FacePunch repurposed an Unity game stats gathering engine so its relatively easy to bypass it.
-
I dont think EAC is activated yet. If i'm not mistaken garry said somewhere that he would let us know when he would activate EAC to avoid troubles and headaches.
-
Sounds like no recoil
-
yes, they are still there. Saturday the admin team have wipe Belgium official server, and sunday this server was full of cheaters ... maybe to be the first on a freshly wiped server to get the bigger HQ or the get the better stuff ...
this is really boring ...
-
I think on our server we ban 5-10 hackers a night. Speed Hacking followed by aim botters. An occasional guy with flying.
I think the base in rock glitch is pretty much a common theme as of late.
I would love for garry to update the cheatpunch mod to include the TP mods as non-bannable offenses.
-
i did not see any hackers on my server:) so yes. its playable!
-
Hackers are still super sneaky and are def around.
-
Banned 4 hackers in the last week from my own server. One was caught flying, another was caught speed hacking, and two others were using combinations of flying, aim bot, airdrop calling, and no-clipping into bases. This the most I have ever seen....what will the summer bring when the kiddie are out of school and bored? Fun fun fun.
-
Wall hacking by modifying the config files to turn off textures is a *constant* problem on our server. Being shot through walls, jumping in and looting bases, etc. Radar mods, etc are always around. Recoil hacks, aim bots, blah blah all constantly going.
Doing a simple google search you can find http://www.unknowncheats.me/forum/rust/
An entire forum dedicated to hacks that currently bypass VAC. Please please at least check the checksum values of your own game files.
