dabigma Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 (edited) Hey guys, hope you are all well. Just played a match and some guy destroyed our obelisk (health bar was 100/27 last time i checked). Then a discussion started from several players accusing him of hacking. Modrequest was initiated, a dev asked if someone is recording, couple mins later a guy said I should upload this clip on the forums. So here Iam. Hope it can help. https://streamable.com/mzji1n Best Regards Edited April 11, 2021 by dabigma 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luhrian Hey! How was the guy able to hack the game? Can you provide more technical insight? I think it would be more useful to understand what actually happened.

Totem Arts Staff Handepsilon Posted April 12, 2021 Totem Arts Staff Share Posted April 12, 2021 Explanation of possible methods on cheating is a very risky thing to do. A more tech savvy and less honest people among us would have the chance to decipher what actually happened with only a few hints that we drop and thus any form of explanation would do much more harm than good. Sorry, but such things are not something we can really disclose lightly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Food for thought: Just to let you in on something... there are real engineers out there who patch well known vulnerabilities and actually disclose how they work... and the reason even after disclosed MUCH more than simple "hints" those will no longer be exploitable is because they actually got fixed and there is no harm in revealing the FULL details anyway... Just one of the many examples can be found in the link below: (feel free to get as much hint as you want in that publicly available white paper). https://spectreattack.com/spectre.pdf Edited April 12, 2021 by jugon666 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes 100% sense to release info about exploits and security stuff when data and sensitive info is at risk, not so much for games.
