attn all db server admins : *speedhack detected*

*SPEEDHACK DETECTED*

http://www.ataricommunity.com/forums/sh ... did=381515

do it now, please :)

Until epic pull their finger out of their own asses, please make this game playable for us mere mortals.

If someone really is speedhacking (never seen in db yet), it would be very obvious, and I hope they would get reported to the admins appropriately, rather than forcing the rest of us to endure this horrible bug.

That fix is meant for servers running versions earlier than build 3236.

ah mb. I figured it was a new problem, because I've only started getting it since I moved to patch 3236. Any idea how to fix it for this version then? I am essentially unable to play on servers I haven't previously tested.

I'm unable to play on any server atm =/

I can't play for more than 10 minutes w/o getting speed hack detected at least twice, before a 3 second lag-out where people keep running in one direction..you know.

It also happens when people join the server.

It's odd because PL, ping etc. are all normal o_O and I've been getting it only since 3236 :o

Executing the 3236 patch makes the appropriate changes to the ut2004.ini and default.ini, but uploading it to a server does not. Ask the admin of the server(s) in question to verify that the changes in manifest.ini were applied to the server's active ini file.
In the case of Deathball Servers using the deathball.ini, chances are, the changes were NOT applied to it.

*bump*

This is getting depressing. I haven't been able to play db for a week. Please admins, it's a single line in a config file :(


*edit* just applied the fix (MaxTimeMargin to 0 in deathball.ini) to flau's server, and I was able to play without a single problem :)
