Stoyan K

: ) Thank you, man! I remember you too, you are also very good player. About the DLC - I have it all, but there is always somebody in the lobby, who don't have the needed map. : ) I know i can select it from the start, when nobody is joined, but i know that there are still a lot of people, who don't have these maps and I don't want to make them sad. : ) May be I will test more often if everybody in the lobby had the new maps. : )

For me the best maps are - Raid, Standoff and Yemen and I rotate them the most in a 2 rounds of 7-8-9 minutes Dominaton matches with regural bots, if there is not enough real people ( bots on regural can be a bit easy, but it is better than to be killed with a fantasy sniper shot from 100m , snaping on you for a second, when you just show to the "fighting" field. : ). Also sometimes I add Plaza and Overflow. The other maps, especially for Domination are kinda meh... : )

Finally my ports are opened, so I can host again !   Everbody is welcomed ! You have to know, that I end games and change rooms, as soon as a hacker comes. If they are too many and joins all the time, then my own "Stoyan K" room will pop up for sure. ; )

Sup dude, I don't think you know me but I've seen you many times on lobbies. Do you still create your private lobby ? And if you do so and have a password on it i'd like to know it. Anyways I'm a year late but I appreciate what you're doing, hackers kill the game ... 

Hi, my friend!  : ) Yes i remember your nickname. But i have some bad news... my ISP have a problem and now all the ports are closed, so I can't host for now..... I am just getting very angry, trying to find a good game now - every game is like the things i points out in my first post... I just can't handle this default, free for all, Hijacked, 17 slots matches.... or this 75 points team deathmatches, where the match finished after like 3 minutes...

EDIT: Oh, and I forgot about the Veteran bots games... Sometimes I really don't know why people, who host, don't want to think how bad they make their games..

Greatly appreciating this, have played with you many times

Thank you! : ) And your ingame nickname is? 

Hmm i have not enough experience with Console Multiplayer but how is the problem with "Lagg Hackers" ? (People who have a good ping but lagging and are not hitable  because they have limited their upload rate or people with high ping and also not hitable because of this )

Youre talking about real hackers ? With aimbot etc. ?

Actually lag hackers are rare in Link, but I still do the same as the other type of hackers - ending game and going to another room ( best in my own room, where i can kick anyone ).

As Swizzy said, you don't need opened ports, to see and play the games. You can join, but you can't host. By the way you can try with manual DNS and put this in your first DNS address: 8.8.8.8

Both FSD and Aurora use the same plugin, the exact same code... won't make a difference...

Sure, but it is not about trying a different plugin, but instead if something is bugged in his configuration, its better to test with the other alternative this way, instead of reinstaling ( FSD or AURORA ) and losing all the game data .

What about testing with FSD, if you are using AURORA, or vise-versa?

LOL. I would think that makes the most sense. Just saying, if you just want to play with random people, you have a better chance of getting in on a game if there are more people you can connect to.

Haha, true , but I said it in a special way.   For example :

- I am hosting in full public room, then i saw a hacker, ofcourse I end the game and make my own room, BUT how many people will understand why i end the game and how many people will search and join in my own room.. Most of them just contiunue to play with the hackers. That's why in most of these situations i just join another Public room with some people in it, until another hacher join. So this is my tactic. Best is when there are small amount of people in only one Public room, then when i make my own room, people go in.

Test if you can download covers, or title updates, to be sure you have internet connection on the xbox. If you use some plugins , remove them from the launch.ini file. Try with liveblock disabled, try what happen with another game in Link.

Just give me those hackers when i host a "Stoyan K" room and see how fast they were kicked out ; )  ( this time i spectate them more to be really sure they are, because for example,  I kicked DragonLuky by mistake, who is in no way a hacker, but instead one of the best players I met ). Actually most of them already know me and didn't join the room. Bad thing is that most of the time, people just join the rooms with most people in it.

i am from europe  and i joined your room and i had 4 bars and you kicked me because i had better score than you and you thought that i cheat...

 

i think that all europe players should make a whatsapp group so that we would be able to reach each other, because most of the time i see europe players scattered across all rooms. we should unite, because the south americans are always joining and just making the game unplayable. really sad that i rather play with cheaters than south americans, because with cheaters the game is atleast playable and not laging like hell when those south americans join..

 

so if someone wants to make a whatsapp group i would gladely join

: )   Sorry, my friend, it was a mistake! It was not about the score, but because in the killcams you were a bit too good with the aiming and i thought, there was kind of aim assist hack working. Sorry again. I am just a bit to harsh for hackers. Will never kick you again and instead I will tell you, that you are really good player! : )

Hello, good morning, good afternoon or good evening to all

COD game every day and sometimes I find strange the gameplay of some players.

My question is: Is it possible that some players are using hack to win?

And how can we avoid playing with them?

Way too many hackers these days..

What you can:

1. Make your own room, then you can kick whoever you want.

2. Go in another room and find some good games.

I always try to host as clear of cheaters games as possible, i mean i end games ASAP when i see a cheater and going to host in other room.

Bad thing is that unity is not so stable, when there are many people, and if i make my own room to be able to kick, after some time i get a disconection problem from the room and as you know , when i join in my own room again, i am no longer the "manager" of the room and cant kick players anymore. Ofcourse the new random guy, who becomes the room manager will not kick anyone due to many reasons..

: ) Nice topic. The funny thing is that a have a full list of blocked hackers ( not really blocked, but black listed with a red cross in system link menu), so it is easy for me to kick them, but the bad thing is that most people go straight in public rooms, where there are more people.

As someone said it is not so easy to detect every hacker. Also good players can be mistaken for hackers. My tactic with them, when i am not in my own room to kick them is to end a game, when i see some and go to another room. Then i just don't understand, why sometimes they join again, as they will know that i will end the game again. This just ruins the other users experience. Also many of the others, don't know why i end games, because they can't detect the hacker so fast , like i do, because i know many hacker nicknames from before. Here is a list with people , that I am watching enough time to be 100% sure, they are hackers ( Black Ops 2) :

Username / Gamertag:

I was looking for other players from Europe for LiNK and yesterday I took two matches of Domination in your Room. Was a great and entertaining experience for me and I had the feeling that I met no Hackers. Just wanted you to know that I appreciate that you keep the room running.

Would it be possible to play on DLC maps as well? I'm missing Nuketown and Studio.

Greetz.

Thank you, my friend, i apreciate your comment! What is your nickname in-game? : )  Hackers nowadays are a bit too much, so when i am in public rooms, i end games as soon, as i see a hacker and go to another room. Bad thing is that i rare make my own room now, because not enough people understand, why I end games and exit a public room to make one on my own. They prefer to stay in a full room and play with hackers, which I don't understand.

Also I don't like , when i kill somebody, who just join a game and don't know how much time i involved training in this game and that i might now have a good accuracy and knowedge of the enemy spawn points, and they just left the game, because may be they think i use some kind of hacks. They just don't think enough to just watch a bit in spectator mode to see that it is just skills, not hacks. They have to think more, to know that people may have more experience and that's why they are good at something.

But instead they prefer to left a room without hackers, just because they are killed with a headshot from my M27...

Is there any other place, where we can discuss this problem, where more people will see it?

The bad thing is that most of the users goes where most people are ( aka in Public Rooms ), so I really need a "kick menu" for Black Ops 2 for example. Its really depressing to see more and more hackers every day, ruining the games..

Also today the xboxunity site doesn't work, so may be it is maintenance issue, not yours. : )

Nice program, but  "object reference not set to an instance of an object" , when trying to copy file over FTP with latest version of Aurora and Godspeed, Windows 8.1.

So.... firstly I want to say , that finaly I have a real IP , so now you can play some REAL games..  : )

Lets explain what type are most of the hosts in Black Ops 2 Link rooms:

1. Those unserious gun games, sharpshooter, one in chamber..

2. Those five minutes default games, where when it begins to be interesting, it ends..

3. Those 17 slots games where everything is so fantasy and fast paced.

4. Games with hackers..I can tell at least 10 hacker's nicks. I really don't understand what fun is to know where everybody is and shooting them trough walls.

5. Those free for all, where it is more like a melee game..

6. Those campy Search and Destroy games where everything is hide and seek and best connection wins. And ofcourse the waiting for the next round when you die.. ( Lets keep them for MLG only please )

7. Varios games with restricted classes and modded unlimited ammo and so on games...

SO... I will begin to add a "Stoyan K game", where nothing like those 7 points will happen!

You will play mostly Domination, Team Deathmatch, Kill Comfirmed games.

Where every match will be long enough, no class restrictions and 10 slots only. Every hacker will be kicked also!

I missed the pc engineer part. lol.

Haha, at least it is better to make people laugh for a bad english, instead of making unnecessary comments. ; )

On topic: Any Link dev's thoughts what might cause the problem, or any user thoughts?

yeah, but, once your request has been processed the information updates, so... milliseconds... each request does their checks...

I hope then Link does it right. : ) We will continue to search then, what might cause it. Thanks for the responses, swizzy!

imho PC Engineer is the same as a computer tech

 

: ) Users need at least 1-3 seconds joining a room. But If its not needed for them to push in the same milisecond, but instead in this 1-3 seconds time period, this will be not so rare. What if Link can't make the time difference in these seconds, and can't just "open the gate" only for the first one pushed? : )

Happened at least three times again in the middle of the games. The equipement is nothing special, no need for videos. : ) Game: Black Ops 2 , TU 18, latest dashboard, latest dashlaunch. Nothing special in launch.ini and no plugins used. And after the "Conection Lose" is written, i fastly push the guide button, then system link, to see the 33 user count, that bugged the games. And ofcourse no games are shown and the hosts have to make the games again. But it is not happen only on my end, but everybody's.  : )  This problem begin to happen from one or two months. I think that everyting was alright before 2015.

I think, that if we ( or somebody in touch with Link creators )  report this bug to them, they will find what cause it. My theory is that this happen when two users push simultaneously join button, when users are 31, and the program can't decide, whom to bring in and then show 33.

Yes, but the user count shouldn't be possible to go up into 33+ which is the weird part... you have no idea how ppl join a room that's full? that'd help a ton in narrowing down where the actual problem is...

What if this happens when users are 31 and both people push join in the same time ( I didn't write the source code of Link, so how could I know where the problem is ? ). So in the end you telling me that this is not fixable and it is not problem with Link?  And it is not happening from the beggining of Link existence, so it is not related to our equipement.

Yesterday this happened 5 times for two hours in the middle of the games, for anyone in the room ofcourse, not only for me ( and ofcourse everytime I check, when that happened, the user count was 33 for this exact moment). I will repeat myself, that i am NOT talking about lag dropouts. I am a pc engineer, so please don't treat me like a random kid, because I know what I am talking about.

The problem is not reported enough, because many people don't know where to report it, because they don't see the 33 people problem, because they don't mind and because they think, that this is server/lag dropouts..

Any idea how they do that? this issue was fixed a while back when we were informed about it being done using xboxunity...

Thanks, for answering, but I mean...I am not imaginating myself, and it is a real problem, which is happening now. : ) I never ever write in forums, just for nothing, or just for more posts with unnecessary words.  : )   Lagging out is completely different thing, which is our problem and can't be fixed by Link creators. : )

The problem is: When people became 33 , all the games in the room, drops out their users. And we can join again when the normal 32 user count is back.
