So I have taken notice, and experienced myself, multiple times how many players seem to just simply crash after killing an enemy scorpion hover player. Like to the point that I am making a thread about it.
Multiple matches, I humiliate a scorp hover after being killed 10+ times by said player, game instantly crashes. I see a token scorp hover player on my team, the usual 5 kills per battle ones, get killed by an enemy, said enemy then just freezes and stays still the entire match after that point (no guns turning no nothing ->their game crashed)
I have seen this fad with other type of builds, but usually it’s the players who run these scorp hover builds enough to stick to memory. And usually under very suspicious instances, like when another player or you yourself manages to sneak up on them and surprise them, sudden crash. You or another player manages to absolutely humiliate them, game crash.
And no top of that, just now after the match of seeing said stuff happen, I was going to report the player on my team for suspicious activity, but it’s name is not on the list of players in the match.
So far suspicious players I see this happen a lot with are BRAIN_BUG, BLCKSWN, SL_LIS Names might be mispelled because I have to do it from memory. And the entire [SM1LE] clan is suspicious as hell, to the point that you have remembered the name of a clan because the game acts extra weird any time those people are involved
Got their name, the [XATA] ST_LIS
And funny enough, this match I was in with them ended in a Draw in 34 sec for no reason + disconnected from the game session
Though judging by the general chat, that happened to a lot of people, but it’s still weird how the earlier stuff did happen, and you can’t find the player name in the stats screen after the match even though they definitely were a part of the match. And I see this happening enough to take notice of it with other players as well, where the only way to report them is if they accidentally say something in battle chat, but not after the battle like you normally would
While on the topic might as well mention people being able to come out of the blacklist somehow and you needing to re-add them every two weeks or so, when their messages start popping up in the battle chat once again with the usual quality that made you put them into the blacklist to begin with. Nanuuk_Zappa, BLCKSWN and keyshoo specifically I have had to re-blacklist 2-3 times each so the names stick to mind
Who knows it might just be paranoia and coincidences because this game runs on literal spaghetti code powered by a singular hamster on a wheel, or other people might have taken notice of something similar as well in which case voicing it out might have some effect.
Anyone else notice anything like this in the game?
You’re encountering consistent game crashes or enemy freezes in Crossout, often immediately after you (or your team) successfully defeat specific “Scorpion hover” players, especially those who’ve previously dominated you. This highly suspicious behavior, coupled with instances where suspected players’ names don’t appear for reporting, points to potential in-game exploits or cheating. You’ve even identified specific players and a clan ([SM1LE]) associated with these incidents. To address this, gather video evidence, meticulously document dates and times, and report directly to Gaijin’s official support channels, providing all possible details to help them investigate these recurring and disruptive issues.
While videotaping clear evidence is a thing one could do, 1. I lack so much trust in the moderation of this game that I don’t think that even that would make any difference to anything and 2. I don’t think my machine could even capture any footage while playing, I already start getting performance issues if I try to listen to music off of youtube while playing crossout.
And 3rd it’s more of a thread about if any other players have noticed anything like that or any specific odd coincidence wonkiness at highly suspicious times and conditions while playing the game, rather than trying to gather specific evidence for specific cheating.
Another match with Brain Bug on the enemy team, another unexplainable crash
But then after relaunching the game, another match and no crash with brain bug on the enemy team
Followed by another, no crash this time either
I am going to be keeping up a list of these mystery crashes as I run into them to see if there’s any connection anywhere, and if it truly is specific players or not, and if I need to add more players into the list of suspicious
All in all only 1 crash in this play session, which is a rarely good performance, lately it’s been 2-4 crashes per play session (1 hour to 1.5 hours of playing)
Might be worth it to do a game repair from the launcher.
I had a situation this past week in Awakening (doing the “relive old memories”) where the message from Foxy was “Relive the “”.” The title of the mission was blank. When I got to Smallforge, there was no mission there. When I drove around the map, there were no side missions anywhere. This was repeatable, so I did a repair and the problem was fixed.
Only thing i can think of is DDOS attacks ingame. ive had a attempt in Clanwars a short while ago.
There was group of players that lost 1st round and they all where running attacking builds.
Then second round started and they kept sitting in middle of map towards us but not attacking and well we had 1-0 on the board we would lose that advantage.
But we suddenly all started lagging abnormaly we all checked or ping it was good.
The weird lag stopped happening once they gave up on this attempt and just charged us.
They did lose the match but DDOS has happend more in CW mode. ive not heard about PVP crashing ather players. but this is a new one for me.
I have heard about people being CPU frozen / overheated in Tarkov by a cheater. (they cant move near this guy when he turns it on or it crash the game of people he targets in a radius of this player).
