Do you still need these?

Screen shots alone will only be acceoted if you're streaming as they can be verified. Even Balance doesn't accept them though. If you know what cheat it was and have a copy of it, you can send it to research@evenbalance.com and they get it added to PB checking.

Always good to see familiar faces here. :D

There are some things within PB that does cause a load on the server...though no more so than they did in the standard COD. The issue were seeing with UO seems to be related in part to the net code and not directly PB. We've been over this topic a great many times over at IWNation.com. I'll see if I can find some of the suggestions from various threads over there. sv_maxrate 25000 sv_maxping 100 com_hunkmegs 300 sv_pb_cvarwalk 0 If you have not already done this you should because it will reduce most lag issues that are client side. Pull open the console and type in /rate. If this number is not 25000 and you have a cable/dsl (fast) connection you will get lag at points. Type in /rate 25000 to set it properly. This is also what the connection speed setting does in the join server menu. Its important this is set correctly otherwise you probably will experience lag at times There is also the command /com_hunkmegs The default is 128. This means cod:uo is using 128 mb of ram for itself. It should be set to around 1/2 or 2/3 of your RAM. For example: I have 512 mb of DDR ram, so I set my com_hunkmegs to 350. It made a huge difference on my computer and my friends computers. There was a nother post as well that spoke of lowering the PB settings...as in times and such but I can't seem to find it at the moment.

Check your PM's. Sent you some league info. Didn't want to spam the thread here. :D

That's a good question Droo. If you work under the premiss that it's your erver, your rules, then you could insert a cvar check for rate and set it as high as you feel comfortable with. pb_sv_cvar rate IN 5000 25000 That would be a good place to start. Maybe add other checks. I think that there is an impression that just because you can drop a console and change settings in a game that it makes it ok to do so. I can't speak for anyone other than myself and perhaps The Cheat Police. At CP we preach playing the game "Out of the Box" and this includes settings. Anything you have to drop the console for to make adjustments to in-game settings like snaps and rate and such is strictly discouraged. You'll notice that there is no snaps or fps settings within the multiplayer area. Inshort the settings were not meant to be adjusted by the player or they would have put that option in there.

Here is the basics of some fo the reports I have recieved.. Player A is on a server playing just fine for over an hour. No warp, no lag. Player A gets owned several times by Player B. Player A departs the server, returns in a few minutes, has the same ping but now warps and is twice as hard to kill. If I had been told this from one source I would shrug it off, but I have been told about such behavior on 5 different occassions and by three people I know to be trust worthy. While low MB is a fact of life for some players, if a player adjusts their setting to give themselves an advantage over other players then I have an issue with it.

:D I'll sniff around on some of the busier cheat sites and see what I can find. If we can figure how exactly they are doing maybe we can stop it.

There is an issue with certain fram rates making jumps that would otherwise not be possible, possible. Most leagues and ladder do not consider that a cheat as anyone can set their max frame rates. The favorite trick though is to have ket binds to make those changes. I have also been hearing about a way to manipulate the net code to infact make you appear to be warping as if you're lagging when you actual have a good ping to the server. I haven't been able to track down any actual facts as yet but I have had 4 different people from different groups contact me and ask me about it. The lagging effect makes it really hard to kill you apparently while not affecting your aim and play at all. In COD dialup transfer rate is 2500 I believe, setting your transfer rate below that would affect how you appeared to others.
