Drop Hack continues

You don't have to play to know that 90% of these accusations are completely baseless. Think about what you're suggesting. You're saying your opponents are able to disconnect you from the server at will. The only practical ways to accomplish this are crashing the server (likely very difficult and definitely very obvious), DDoSing the server (also difficult, and requires a botnet purchase), or exploiting the server code to send false messages or otherwise manipulate the connected players (extremely difficult and fairly easy to detect).

If the connection issues you're complaining about are really intentional and are really as widespread as you claim, the exploit they use to cause the disconnect would be public by now. But there's been no such exploit published. Because it doesn't exist.

Sync hacking is an issue that should be addressed. But not one person in this or any other thread has provided a single piece of solid evidence that even one arbitrated disconnect was deliberate and not a result of poor connections.

There has absolutely been a hack out there that had a "desync" button. The idea being that if you were playing a multiplayer game as soon as one player on the other team dropped/lagged out/desynced you could desync and the trust rating of your team would almost 100% be higher than that of the other teams now one-fewer combined trust so it was an almost assured win.

The programmer kept that hack up to date through a patch or two of 2.700 but lately I had not seen him responding on the thread he owned. he claimed in his thread that he wasn't tempted by a dying game. He also claimed that it was easy to protect against hacks like his but that Relic rebuffed any attempts by him to help.

I had always been curious what it looks like from the maphackers point of view... but I never did try. Not sure if it was my pure soul or the fear that I would find it too tempting and get hookd just by trying it... Nevertheless I never tried.

sync hacking or hacking.. these issues need to be punished. How do u expect us to come up with proof?? People have taken screenshots and replays. WE cant magically whip up something with the internal server stuff...

im certain synchacking and dorphacking are the same issues in coh2...

Synchacking is relatively easy to do and relatively hard to prevent, and it's been a problem in every RTS in existence.
