mystermous flaoting E boats

[uehawk]

ok ok this may sound funny but belive me it was not !!! my squad and myself have saved up and rented a barrys server for a month and have placed enough funds in the bank for next month.
playing obj maps: then when we reached omaha beach map a bloody german e boat was hovering over the middle door ok it did look funny but thats not the end of it. i being in control of the server restated game from the hunt map but someone esle was controling the rcon booting us all and placing cheats on the server the name of this person was ''Sundance'' so how then can i control this action from any player who chooses to ruin a game and cost us money.
i being a nice guy and all.. our clan only uses the server 3/4 times a week 3 hours a time so i leave it open for all to play and have fun but not any more if i can't control and trust ppls to use our server only for fun i will cancell my account for the following month/months to come.
so if anyone as any tips on how to control these cheaters please let me know

Make your server private


Unless EA produce a patch to fix it this is going to happen more and more as its out there now and the more its mentioned the more the loosers will go and try and find out how. Of course I am not going to say how its done just that i know for some people its taken very little time for them to find out and I believe it also showed up on a big cheat site which means its sure to get used more cos if theres one thing sites like that have its an abundance of loosers.

Use autokick and watch for people entering server then a uboat appears and then they reconnect.

Sadly this is the only way to spot them atm. Once you have the culprit put his IP in the ban list in autokick

That's fine if your auto-kick hasn't been tampered with. My copy worked fine for months, but now when ever I start it it causes the CPU to run at 100%. All Seeing Eye is ok as long as the idiots don't change your password, which they do a lot of the time.

Come on BW, we're paying for a public server and it isn't good enough for you to say "make it private". That's not what we paid for, and continue to pay for.
Its up to BW to find these holes the hackers are exploiting and to close them. Otherwise we have a faulty product on our hands.

I have every sympathy with you guys but the ball is in your court.

actually the ball is in EA's court...its a fault with moh code.
This exploit is even happening on EA's own servers know that it has become more well known.

So if BarrysWorld had Linux based servers we would still have this problem would we?

Mysterious floating subs

There is a patch against the sub hack.

You can download it at www.975th.co.uk

I know this ain't much good to those of us without ftp access to our servers but hopefully bw will employ it (if they haven't already).
