Killed by an admin

killingrange

hi all. some of my players have been telling me about a problem on my server. they say when they are in cruise and the alt tab out and then come back in they say they are loosing hull if they stayed alt tabed out the die with the message killed by an admin. what makes this happen if anyone can tell me?

It is cruising speed detection in anticheat.
Alt+Tab makes lag and cruise goes mad for a moment, and anticheat detects it.
Say your players not to alt+f4

yea i thort of that but it dont happen on other servers with all the same plugins installed and i have made allowances for the speed settings and pumped each speed setting up by 20.

here is a link to my forum where the descusion is being help.

also no one else has had this problem and i have tryed to get it to happen to me but it doesent do it.

he also said it happens when he is sitting still and alt tabs out and comes back and he loose hull.

Does that still happen if they sit watching it for a while?

i think its something built into discovery because they have strict rules against speed hacks on they’re servers. maybe i am worng but i used run a discovery server a while ago.

This particular behaviour is caused by two things:

the anticheat.dll plugin.
a timing bug?/behaviour in Freelancer when you alt-tab out. The effect of this behaviour is that a ship travels too fast and then stops; this repeats causing the anticheat plugin to kill the ship.

Most discovery servers run the dsace anticheat plugin which works a little differently and isn’t as sensitive to this problem.
