So instead of replying to their mail you decided to create an account here and post it public? Interesting..

I'm starting to think id secretly posted a message that the cheating forums and support have moved to ESR with all those unban me threads recently

:D

I was suggesting that for years tbh... ESR has a better process of dealing with idiots.

However, regarding OP, it might be a bug just like that ualaskij account.

Ye I've played with him mainly CA and he isnt a guy that you would accuse of cheating : D

Pm sent.

i remember u joining a server of mine and asking me to hit u with my rockets, i also remember that it took me either 2 rails or 2 rockets to kill u, uve asked me why this is happening ive replied with : it could be ur handicap perhaps its set to 50 or something.

but what it turned out to be its probably an anti cheat measurement of some kind

Wait, I don't get it, because he played with handicap the anticheat might think he used something illegal? Wat.

when the ominous anti-cheat somehow detects you as a cheater you get forced handicap

^ this

what malk just said.

ma brane malfunction in morning herpderp

are you serious? is tha why somtimes im raping everyone in ffa and then i start getting killed by 5 pips of mg?

I didnt even know there was handicap in ql!?

no he dident play with handicap, his handicap was 100.

which made it even more weird he took 200 damage for 2 rockets while he dealt so much less damage than me.

so it was like he was playing with handicap on while it was set to the normal value.

No.
There was no handicap settings altered.

It's an anti-cheat measure that kicks in if you use 3rd party aim assisting software.

See: ZeriouS

Could be a false positive, either way it's now handled in private by id/bogotac

also this :P

as i said i couldn't articulate myself since its morning.

but its what teen king and malk said

This. Sounds exactly like my case.

:(
i feel sorry for u since u look like a nice guy!

no lesbo btw

im as straight as a paperclip

np, I had also the theory that playing around with weird mouse settings caused the game engine to behave in return like it did.

Therefore there might be a sensitivity (and cl_mouseAccel) too high!

Hmm Bogotac stated in his post that he also played around with the sensitivity and cl_mouseaccel.


hmm perhaps it has something to do with that since it sends some false positives to the server.

okay im done playing with my mouse settings :P inb4 ban!

Also, what if someone actually is like a superhyperactive version of k1llsen's playstyle? I mean there are players like that or persons with spasms could trigger the Anti-Cheat tool ¬¬

tbh im one of those after 1 good spliff and 2 cups of coffee with raphas sensitivity + accel. my reactions time sometime even blow me away.

but then again i might just imagine these things since im on mars at that particular moment.

unowutimsayin?

Do you really think it is triggered automatically? I thought they have realized some solution like punkbuster screenshots.

Perhaps it is also some kind of subtle process. Anti-Cheat methods in other major titles, such as the popular MMORPG WoW, work that way, that they collect information over a certain span of time, then silently evaluate the data, and then activate the ban. This is from what I have heard from some people working in the business.

Guys, these are only assumptions and, unfortunately and understandably, the Quake Live team would rather not confirm one of these theories, as they did not do it in the past, or else they would risk developers of cheats to get some more real understanding of how to circumvent the system.

Anyhow it seems that there are still cheaters roaming the game, predominantly script kiddies with no clue and only a small share being true hackers with their own self developed tools. With the existing definitions of hack, applying to online gaming, the script kiddies are lamers.

They can keep it all secret, but it doesn't mean they need to ignore people who paid for the game and got unlucky because of false positives.

Having installed many anticheats I never cared that these AC were scanning and totally spying on me, DO IT GO AHEAD, at least I know I have nothing to worry about, and at least I know they will catch some cheaters (and people with funny folders on their pc xD), why don't they do the same? I'd rather have a game with an AC that seems abusive but also makes public the proof (code/screens/logs etc) than a game with a team behind that just say "hey you cheated, farewells"...

What the hell is this...

I'm afraid to run FRAPS, Xfire, and STEAM or any kinds of overlays with QL after reading all of this. I don't know if it's true or not, but the fact that they don't even communicate with you and tell you what they found is fucked up.

Punkbuster, ESL WIRE, UAC, TZAC etc they all had bugs.

We used to get kicked because of overlays and even STEAM, sometimes banned too, but never we did get perm banned, also when this was happening the companies behind the anticheats ALWAYS published news concerning false positive and bugs. What's so wrong with id?

If tomorrow TS/Mumble/Xfire/Ventrilo makes a stupid update and has some kind of overlay that acts like the overlays these aimbots have, or I don't know, if it bans many people who play pickup and even some people who are known to play LANs, they will just write that kind of email back?

I'm sure until it's not happening to a very important player they will never consider these possibilities unfortunately...

zbot i have the exact same issue! im afraid that im running something wrong while playing quake, things like xfire, spotify, steam or the software for my gamecom headset. ;/

they need to tell us what could cause these things.


quake live is my life and i dont want to loose it because i had some justin bieber playin on my spotify :(

sorry somehow i posted this twice

It is Justin Bieber! xD
Dude, that contradicts of you saying, you are strrraaaigght :DDD
lulz

`AAAH crap u got me :(

gg wpd

re ?

Nah, won't go full Jamerio mode, no time for that =D

perhaps ur keyboard got "Jammed"

Zerious I just read your post we are in same shit :(
You still baned?

Well funny post, but honestly if you think about the number of shits that can alter or "react" with Quake Live, it's mind blowing...

With ATI Tray Tools you can force textures, shaders and tweak graphics like you will never be able to do with Catalyst Control Center for instance, these tweaks are changing many details inside the game, and in some leagues for some games it's not allowed, so if an Anti Cheat spots that gfx tweaks were made that they don't allow then you get banned, that's fair, why? Because they are saying it...

With Nvidia Forceware drivers and the possibility to switch on/off ambient occlusion can be an advantage or disadvantage depending on the setting you pick on some games, so if a guy uses it in a game and what if it alters some stuffs in Quake Live while you play it's scanned as wallhacking or some shits (because yes official ambient occlusion can have that kind of effect in some games!!!!!) then you get banned too????????? Then id says you used "a third party software (lol gpu driver) so kthxbye for subs cya perma ban"?

Doesn't make sense, and nobody in the community contacted consumer associations, ever?

All I concluded until now is that if they think they made a mistake they will contact you (laskij, or bogOtac just now), and maybe you get unbanned, if they are sure you cheated then they won't say anything at all. I'm not ok with this, in the first case, why don't they tell laskij for instance who got unbanned what was wrong? This way he knows what he shouldn't use with QL if it's triggering the anticheat... And here I always thought "Lol if you're banned it means you did something wrong", but no you can get banned, even if you didn't do anything wrong...

:)

Ambient occlusion example: http://i.imgur.com/wkbUPCT.jpg

you couldn't have activated the anti-cheat, cause there is nothing like that to be activated ;)

and they just keep coming

im curious what seemed to be the problem?

or is it top secret info that no one may know ?

looks like anti-cheat was activated during my practice match when I was settining mouse accel or it has to do something with g400 software >_>

so i guess someone helped u out and u got unbanned?

g400 or g400s?

I have g400s. I sure hope the same does not happen to myself or others. D: I don't run the logitech software in the background(taskbar) but I do have it downloaded. Dang

not yet >:((

I would have been banned 1000 times if playing around with mouse settings triggered the AC.

Come on guys unban me its obvious whats going on here.
18th january aimbot detected.
1st of all i played 0 games that day before I noticed handicap, only practice where I was setting mouse accel (AND THATS WHERE ANTI CHEAT WAS ACTIVATED)
After that I was playing duels with my friends and they know im not cheater they can confirm it whenever you want!

I live once again thanks to syncerror :)

"they know im not cheater they can confirm it whenever you want!"

move along guys, his mates can confirm hes not a cheater. case closed

This looks like a job for

#CSIQL
#EXPOSED
#RAYTHENOOB

im unbanned thanks to sync )
im still confused, should I use g400 software or not ? :/

I have a death adder and use its software... never had a problem.

What was the reason for the ban??

I use g400 soft without problem... but it is indeed confusing -
can it cause false anticheat trigger, or was there another reason for the ban.

Well they won't tell you what happened -_- so my guess is keep using drivers, softwares for mices as usual, and if happens again then it's their fault and they need to fix it!

one thing so many of you here haven't realized is (and this counts for almost any game in the world) that they reserve the right to terminate your account for whatever reason they wanna, and they wouldn't owe you an explanation either.

you agree with these terms when registering.

you should make frag movie...

Don't use the logitech g400 drivers. They're crap. Mouse feels smoothed/filtered when drivers are installed. Rather force it @ 500hz and play without.

wait, you have to install software for new logitech mouse to be 500hz? its not 500hz by default?

another serb in a thread about cheating...

i wonder what happened with the cheats, that zeroQL "tested" back then for a "friend". 8)

Well, obviously we have id Software in Quake Live. They're crawling your servers, snatching your people up, trying to ban them. Ya'll need to hide your keyboards, hide your mice, and hide your hacks because they're banning everybody out here.

5/10 nice effort

"Well, obviously we have a rapist in Lincoln Park. He's climbin' in yo windows, he's snatchin' yo people up, tryin' to rape 'em. So y'all need to hide yo kids, hide yo wife, and hide yo husband cause they rapin' everybody out here." -Antoine Dodson

hey adam, i only installed mouse drivers too wtf?

*

she trolls everyone

Something something female professional gamer while playing LoL. She's a troll and basically a prostitute, selling her body for money via Twitch. Opportunity knocks for a real pro gamer that has a convincing sex change. Shane. Shane? Shhhhhaaaaannnnnnnnne? Tox is danger.

strenx has feminine features... he should rock a sweet pair of tits

wtf lol

Into ladyboys?

totally!

" It is really hurtful to me as a female gamer whenever people say that I am an attention whore. "

I like her tits tbh

Those boobs tho!
i know its all fat but still it made my member move!

ooooh fuck i would motorboat in dem titties

but bitch needs to stop talking, god damn I wish bitches talked like in the 1940s, "here's your lunch dear" and then fucking silence for the rest of the fuckin day

A man can just wish nowadays :(

i personally would take a nap on dat rack

I have feeling she's fat...but nice lips and tits. :P :)

Haha awesome, she's like the Lauren Reeves of twitch :D

it's probably a stange bug

if you set your mouse sensitivity to 1.2345678 the rail/lg width/enemy hit box also increases for some reason

wait what

cross eyed thick foreheaded crying mongo ! LOL

wonder what is the cause behind bans like these..
and if it will ever get fixed

I still dont think its because of mouse drivers, I think that happened because of mouse Accel bug.
