Anticheat failure

[Jg99]

Ok, anticheat banned me for using sensitivity 500 and spinning lol. is this fixed in svn?

[#M|A#Wolf]

Maybe if you didn't do that?

[Jg99]

i was testing to see if it would ban me :>

Not really a failure. Spinhack is something the anticheat wants to prevent. Even though you cheated your way through a false spinhack, the thing worked. So... yea.

It is a failure. He was banned for spinhacking without spinhacking.

That's a misnomer. In some sense he may have cheated the detection algorithm, but that kind of cheating is very different to the kind where you gain an unfair advantage and is not the type that the anticheat aims to detect.

[Jg99]

Yes, roflcopter, it was a failure, i knew it all along, me and some other player were doing that, he got banned by anticheat for spinhack lots of times, i only got banned that one time :P

we were both doing the same thing

This games free. You can't expect everything like the AC to be flawless like valve anti-cheat or something which they've put $$$$$$$$ into.

No, it hasn't been fixed yet, but it is something I want removed or fixed. You may or may not be aware that this code is a sticking point in the game's development ATM.
I have sympathy for someone who is banned innocently; I have no sympathy for someone who tries to get banned and succeeds, regardless of the method.

[Jg99]

well, i was showing you how easy it is to get banned innocently by anticheat

[Shorty]

jg, you are AC's Saviour how shall we ever thank you for pointing out an already known bug.

The anti cheat detects high spin speed.
you spun at high speed.
Anti cheat works after all. Its only a ban so think yourself lucky. :D

Spamming jump on a long staircase in a map got me temp-banned for "suspicious activity". I think that's a bigger deal than the spinhack bug.

Even so, I think these occurrences of innocent players getting punished by anticheat is RARE, Compared to other things on the dev to do list, I wouldn't say these issues are a top priority.

That happened to me during a 1v1 in ac_complex (triggered speedhack), as I edge-jumped up the stairs leading out of RVSF base.

Some time after that I did the same thing in one of jamz's servers which he used to host, and this is what showed up in the logs:

[SELECT ALL] Code:

Jul 11 09:24:53 ac-jamz AssaultCube[justice]: [118.93.146.32] HyPE|Fate fast move [anticheat]

Although you need to trigger the "fast move" I think three times in quick succession (I forgot the time frame) before the anticheat lays down the banhammer.

EDIT: Oh and in the same log extract I did test for the "spinhack" (set sensitivity to 1000) but nothing turned up.

My run in with anti-cheat from last October. :) Not spinhax related though. :(

Of course Aight's screenshot shows him behind the grate on outpost, so not sure why I was the one kicked for hax. \:D

Lol, you took the words right outta my mouth.

[Mai Mee Tur]

So how is the spinhack an advantage?

[Bukz]

Its not really, just annoying/distracting, theres no reason for somebody to use one.

[jamz]

I never fully understood. IDK whether it was to avoid aimbot detection, or to confuse opponents, or to make it impossible to spectate, or something else I haven't thought of.

[Cemer]

For trickshot competitors so its easier I guess?

[Ronald_Reagan]

So how is the spinhack an advantage?

iirc it was harder to get a headshot. I could be wrong.

IDK whether it was to avoid aimbot detection
