You do not get a server or global ban for picking up weapons, or having weapons, or anything to do with weapons. You get a global ban from BattlEye, for hacking/cheating.

You need to raise this issue with BattlEye. I don't know the answer, I use fraps all the time and I'm not banned but YMMV.

No, its because the project nearly got shut down because of the senseless hacking. As I have said before, I have a degree of respect and a professional "tip of my hat" nod to the true authors who get in there and tinker. But what happened this week was a fucking travesty. For fifteen minutes the project was closed down, it reached a point where hackers were hoping from server to server and killing everyone. Actually, these guys weren't hackers, they weren't smart at all. They didn't make this stuff, they just copied and pasted. To call these pricks hackers is an insult to those who have the skill to do it themselves. Make no mistake, if it was not for BattlEye, you would not be playing on a server today. That's how bad it got. So I stay up until I'm sure the project is safe.

What was the message that you received?

"Same but I was banned also." BAI! Man these guys are seriously butthurt: 75.190.x.x Registration IP: jrothnet 75.190.x.x Last Known IP: jrothnet 75.190.x.x Last Known IP: JamesGTAIV

We acted like dicks to the first hackers that posted. But fuck them, they deserved it. However, to show everyone else that even though we knew it was legitimate, that we would hear out the concerns, even though we didn't issue the bans - I committed to following through with this thread. As you noted, I asked again and again to prove or even list the concepts behind what they were posting, and there was silence. Followed by ban's all round.

I believe the word you are looking for is... success. Incidentally you could also choose from: Justice' date=' comeuppance, just desserts, just punishment, recompense, requital, retribution[/i']

Not any more. You're a smart chap, I'm sure you'll figure it out.

FTFU

Missed one. EDIT: FYI his original post said: "Looks like they have you trapped."

I have banned those I had a 5 page discussion about, well, nothing. I wanted to hear some concrete recommendations and I didn't feel we had received them. I am not trying to crush freedom of speech here, but I actually think the were drowing everyone out. Anyway, I was kind enough to include the link to BattlEye in the ban notice so they can take their issues up there. EDIT: Also please don't lock the thread, or these will spread to the rest of the forums.

Yes, I have live stats. 5721 concurrent. That's better than average for this time of day, its supposed to be our quietest time. I don't get your point?

Okay - so someone tell me what I am supposed to do, about whatever the points are that have been raised. We'll skip the points and go straight towards what you want me to do. Can you try that?

Right, so do I ban them, and then get people posting about me banning them. Or do I leave them, and let them continue a discussion that isn't really saying anything tangible at all, over which I don't have any control of the result.

Well I must be wrong, someone said it on some forum, on the internet.

Not a single ounce of evidence. Nothing I can even comment on.

Actually' date=' for once, something worked against the hackers. This is the first win in a long line of defeats. And it's not my success, that success belongs to BattlEye. The hacking got so bad I ordered the complete shutdown of the system until BattlEye update was released. Luckily that shutdown was very brief. If this BattlEye update hadn't worked (and indications are, it has worked exceptionally well), the server would have had to remain down. I'm not even going to touch that one... Okay then' date=' so how should it be handled. I never said I was perfect, I said these bans were not false. These bans are issued for the worst of the worst. And if you have an issue with that, there is nothing I can do. You need to go discuss that with BattlEye.
