Yeah they have been recently harrasing the SY-0978 FPP server the last few months, 6 seperate groups had their bases cleaned out in the same night, the other night my little group had our 3 little bases hit too while we were away from base.
There was at least 6 new names to the server, all conveniently from China, they spend maybe 10-15 minutes on the server, then they would log off and then shortly after 6 or more new accounts, the ones with a combination of random letters and numbers jump on, most havent even set up their steam profile and if they have, 1 game, no friends etc.
They are defiinately using duping thats guranteed but more so they seem to have the wall hacking ability and this killing from half way across the map, the server hives have to be isolated and make the game REGION LOCKED, there is work arrounds for the high ping, they could be using vpn's or some such. If hives were isolated, they have no need to server hop and do this rubbish, also region locking will isolate these incidents and stop the spread of hackers all over the world.
What You bohemia has to understand, the game is great, it has a decent playerbase despite its age and competitors, to think how the numbers could double if their wasnt an issue with hackers, imagine how many accounts / players have stopped playing because of these scummy people. I have seen at least 30 people on my server alone stop because of hackers, they just don't want to deal with it.
The game averages 25k at a time, it could easily be double if official servers were protected more, not everyone wants to rely on private servers and nor should you to police your game. Are you content to just make the sales and profit and not care how the state of the game is after all these years? or your reputation?
There is not one game i have played where hacking is blantantly ignored, why are you not doing anything?
