Goku Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Joined to double check and with 7 players the server reports (using renx launcher) 32 ingame. then 7 then 32 again. These guys seem to be faking player counts to get people to join? or Is this a RenX Beta2 Bug?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFJake Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Faking player counts is disgusting and unacceptable. (if done on purpose) That said, I won't point any finger, its likely just a bug. I did notice once (that was in Beta 1) that a server was up with 36 players according to the browser, but you couldn't get in it (as if the server was actually not there anymore and I believe that was the case). So I would not be surprised if there's a few glitches when it comes to player counts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xpert Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I was saying if he's offended because of the irony of the stuff he did during his Renegade days lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valor Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 It's bugged. Sometimes the server doesn't even show up and other times it's just outdated (different map and player count). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itjo4u934875 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Its good to have more than 3 Server (2x marathon and 1x aow) - other servers are empty after gamecrash after nearly every mapchange...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RypeL Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 We could keep an eye on serverlogs to verify this. A server can get banned for that so pls dont do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omega79 Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 They still doing it ... it showed me between 16 and 38 in the serverlist ... barely 10 when i joined ... even the map image is not available for this server ... sure they do try something shady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xpert Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Probably a mutator to fake something lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFJake Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 So they fake player and bot count. We could keep an eye on serverlogs to verify this. A server can get banned for that so pls dont do it. Waiting on the ban now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RypeL Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Not home this we. Will take a look next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omega79 Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 later that day it only showed 5 all time ... but did not join to check ... the map image still was not available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xpert Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Port scanning a server can also make it show more than the max players connected. This is a common bug with the UT3 dedicated server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omega79 Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 but why is fubar the only one? today again .. count was 39 online were just 3or4 and 2 bots ... i watched it and connected 2 or 3 times in around 15 minutes i asked if they are faking, no answer ... after 15 minutes i managed to join the matrix server (crahses really take your motivation) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xpert Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 but why is fubar the only one? Read what I said again lol. They are probably port scanning on their network. It's like a security thing to allow certain incomming connections to their network. They're probably the only ones doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omega79 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 i have no idea about this stuff ... still wonder ... and the missing map picture is also not normal ... smells fishy and looks shady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xpert Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Their server seems to work fine now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RypeL Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Seems like they did it again today and the server logs support that. As a result their server got banned from the server list. Since faking player numbers is unfair against other server owners we cant allow that. If they contact us and promise to not do it again their server will get unbanned.

Glacious Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Hmm They have Fubar servers back and is this server name pretending to be a 64 player server just to get people in?? CnC Fubar Server [7/64] Bit lame if it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RypeL Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 They probably hosted under a different IP now. So when i get back home i will ban this new IP aswell as name ban them. They have our attention now so i dont know what they think they will accomplish with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glacious Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Ok cheers for that, would think they would just host a normal server like everyone else instead of having to try and lure people in so to speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
