The devs ban hackers' accounts as well. But they just don't want you posting such things on the forum. Instead, report the hack to them privately, they'll make sure that his license is banned from the master server
No they dont. The only thing that happens is an automatic ban if you gather many bans from many servers within a short period of time. Even then this is still not permanent as far as i know. In the hotlap system however you will get removed permanently (afaik) which is about the only thing the devs are acting upon on this matter (afaik).
well i'd like to see that happen too but on the contrary i'd prefer the devs working on a solution everytime this happens instead of wasting time on the "outcome".
I still don't get why Arox got to keep his license when he was speed hacking. He's no different from this guy so shouldn't they both lose their licenses?
Oh I agree, I don't have anything against people posting replays of obvious cheaters/hackers. I was merely stating that it's against the rules. I'm actually surprised this thread hasn't been edited/locked yet.
Ye, I can imagine court cases and legal action from taking people's accounts away from them (master server ban). I dont think they want to bother with all the shite. It's quicker for them to just fix the problem at the source and move on.
My biggest fear is when LFS is finished (which I hope will never happen) and the dev's end the development, when the next hack that is released after that, we willl have no fix and then LFS will be ruined by new accounts that want to hack.
You know that breaking the rules you AGREED on when buying the game can get your lisenced banned? LFS dev's has all the right on their side, and even if you go to the highest instance in the court system, you will still fail and the silly cheater will lose, and aswell have to pay for the court price. So, good luck with that.
Well I can't explain why else they WONT BAN THOSE FOOLS. Anyone else care to speculate why these morons are allowed to continue with their right to break the EULA?
Unless it's something like: they get banned then the cheater has some excuse why his account was used to hack "twit/fool says: someone 'hacked' my password" and the devs have to waste time dealing with the aftermath and they are sick of doing this all the time and it's easier to just not ban them?
I must be missing something, but I thought this thing was stopped a couple months ago.
I think it is a good thing that they are not banned outright. This way, all the cheaters highlight the bits in the game that need to be fixed before it is released as a finished product. They won't want to play it once it is complete, and they have to rely on their own abilities in order to do well.
I don't see how one could get his account hacked. If, like me, you mostly never go to lfsworld, you only ever have to write your password once, when you unlock S2. That's not a lot of opportunities for stuff such as keyloggers to be effective, assuming of course, that's the type of thing we're talking about.
The ToA are quite clear, if you hack, you're facing a permanent ban.
There seems to be more and more threads about cheating etc, why can't you just stay FAIR and not cheat. DO these cheats need these silly modifications to actully get somewhere and take the advantage off someone else? It's a flaming simulator and its meant to be competitive, fun, realistic and nearest to the actual real thing. I think cheats should be banned PERM they have abused LFS and don't deserve a second chance, they wouldnt do it if they actully cared for the community of LFS anyway also the game. If you really want to get the last couple of tenths work on your setup and driving - do it fairly. At the end of the day YOU will be found out and YOU will be suffering the consiquences. The only person you are cheating is you. So if your a cheat you simply throwing away your S2 money.
