Lag/desynch doesn't explain actions that were never input in the first place. To be clear: It's not a matter of 20 second (or whatever) delay and being confused by delayed actions on top of recent actions (desynch log jam of commands).

It's a matter of commands never given (not once) being executed.
If you're trying to tell me that lag and/or desynch can cause commands never once triggered by my client, at any time during the match, to fire off on their own at random, then that is a huge bug.

Lag/desynch simulate loss of control.... everyone is acutely aware of this. We've all experienced it.
That is not what happened here.

Commands never entered from users client were being executed. For instance, I and others were not retreating units, never retreated a single unit yet units would mysteriously retreat by themselves. Lag/desynch can not make up commands out of whole cloth. Buildings would be built/units built when NO command was given to do that. Units would move around the boards themselves, without intput or command--it wasn't a lag effect or desynch effect of log-jam of commands effect. These were new commands, which felt deliberately made, intentional, not random.

Everything that happened screams scripts.

Rather than it being someone else ordering your units around, what's happening is actually extremely long input lag/delay.

I know the difference between input lag, desynch, FPS problems, etc. I've experienced all of them, still do. This is much different. For instance, having units randomly retreated for no reason, or units being sent to a totally different destination, isn't due to desynch. Someone is making those commands.

Ever temporarily lose control of your units or had units ordered around mysteriously (via another player)?

It's very subtle that you barely notice, other times it's blatantly obvious. This game from last evening was the latter. My units were ordered around places I didn't send them, occasionally retreating mysteriously, building things in places I never ordered built, my teammates complained in chat of the same and the enemy team complained in chat of not being able to control their units or leave base at times.

I quickly caught on to what was happening (because have had this happen before, I've seen it more) and so had to watch every unit like a hawk, so that if one was ordered away from its position I'd have to select it and give it a new command to cancel the old out, but usually the command wouldn't 'take' and I'd sit there spamming the unit commands until eventually some unknown force 'freed it.' In this particular match the enemy team seemed to bear the brunt of it.

If I even suspect this type of activity I normally drop, but stayed this time only to record whole game.
Previously, this activity was a rare occurrence but am encountering this with more frequency, as in, maybe once every-other evening or so. The tell-tale sign someone is using this type of hack is that the game has this weird stutter/choppy feel from the outset. It's not lag or FPS exactly, it's different but similar.

***I'm not naming and shaming anyone, I don't know who is responsible, but providing the replay to increase awareness, you can make your own conclusions:

EDIT: Can click 'view chat' from the Replay post to view in-game chat without downloading replay. Good for added color.

Because screaming at the top of your lungs: "SOVIET isn't OP / AXIS isn't UP just L2P noobs" then being directly challenged to a match to prove it, and then hiding behind an excuse of "Oh, your skill is higher so, you know, and I suck anyway. It proves nothing." is ridiculous on its face. At this point, no one is taking them or what they say seriously. They're fully discredited. So lets take the MODS advice and return to the core of this issue and post.

If you're reading this and haven't yet voted, please do. Maybe RELIC will take notice and take action. The current state of the game just isn't enjoyable.
