Hello community,

every thursday, I usually play with a friend on my own dedicated server. We do this since 2004, so we are kinda experienced, also with the technical details and all the networking stuff.
Now since about 4 weeks, there are strange happenings at those gaming days: while playing, the ping of the connected players increases up to 1900 to 2500, which makes most of the connected players leave the server. Gaming is impossible. The lag addresses the external connected players, not me and my friend - we both are in the LAN area and still have a 33-ping, when all others are forced to leave the game.
Some peeps leave with the comment: "Oh no, a lag hacker!" ... so my question is: ARE there lag hacks possible?
I experienced, that when the lag hack starts, only a single player is affected within the first seconds. Now if I am fast enough to run to the dedicated server and ban the player just in time, evereything stays fine ... until the next lag hacker joins the game and runs his network flood routine or whatever.

Did you experience similar problems in v1.07?

The few, the proud, the leet.

Using scripts to shut down servers by bombarding them and causing server killing lag was hot-fixed with 1.04/5 I do believe.

It's probably just a 56k trying to join.

OK, thanks for the hint.
Is there a small possibility for a new script affecting v.1.07?

Are 56k users really so ... offending?

Regards!

Don't blame me, blame my grandma for not getting DSL.

ProjY contains some things I know can mess with the server, but none of them are server-sided at this time since a new dedicated server app has been completed. And that's CE. PC<CE. So, if you're playing PC, it's just because you're using the worse than CE netcode.
