Cheating on 3.1 is pretty hard; i know of no that much significant exploits yet. Most likely you just wasn't playing well enough, and/or misunderstood his explanation (?)

Because I don't want you to know how. This little talk just gave me yet another idea how I could cheat. But I'm kind enough to keep all that for me until now .

But you must expect cheats appearing in the game. As Rc3 last long enough to worth playing with the source code. 3.1 will most likely have cheaters soon. It will only be just a bit less obvious than giving you 100'000 power at start.

Because most things are calculated on the client side rather than you being told when to blow something up by your enemy's version.,
You give an order, the game does the rest on both ends. This is good IMHO.

Why not share it with us developers, at least, so we can fix it?

i think player can use "whole map sensor/deity" without breaking synch, not sure

Maybe because I can't play that game because it crash so I don't give a *** .
Maybe because I would require a total rewrite of the entire code and I know you don't have the manpower for this.
Maybe when I not only report a bug but also give you the patch, you don't even care merging it.
Maybe I already told cyp about some issues on IRC anyway.
Maybe many of your changes actually facilitate cheats instead of hindering it.

Maybe it's a bit of the five.

Why do you strand in the realm of "beliefs" ? I'm telling you facts.

what kind of cheats are we talking about?
power? unit? vision? score?

I wont ! You know how it work, if I publicly say how, all the cheaters will instantly know what they have to do.

When I'll start to ear about players who are obviously cheating, I'll tell you how they do it so you can start to survey the signs (even if there is very few). But for now, the best protection is still not telling anybody what I know.

I hope you understand that.

ok so you don't want to tell everyone in public which is cool
but not telling the devs?
they said you can do a PM to the staff account or email them?

The code was not intended for the new synch mechanism implemented in 3.x . They would need to rewrite it from the base. Sure it prevent power cheat, but there is a lot more possibilities around. Some new one that where not in 2.3.9 .

That's sad, but it's the life.. there is games and there is cheaters. There is very few you can do about it. I'm just here to break the myth that you can't cheat in 3.1 . That's totally false. It still possible.

Are you sure this myth should be broken and this is good move?
I think its impossible to protect from cheats for such open-source project like Warzone, but devs just did effective solution.
