I thought that was impossible... Kicking by a non-host should be impossible. Did someone rewrite the kick code and not tell me? :/

[3drts]

I think it was a joke that went over your head.

The dialoge said "daltx had kicked andres from the game"
But his name was TSX-Dalt.
Also, the correct word, and the word used by the game, is "has", not "had"

Anytime someone leaves the game, you could just type: "*insert your name here* has kicked *insert the departed player's name* from the game" immediately after they left, and it would give the same appearance as if you kicked them.

[Zarel]

Oh, I didn't look at the screenshot too closely. You're right, he just said he kicked someone, he didn't actually do it.

[Dalton]

It was a joke you don't pay attention I even said that after I did....noob! Even look at what kracker said. I never control other trucks I would have no clue how to and don't join my games if your going to call me a cheater. Funny you try to hide your name) I remember you said that in game that I control your trucks you just randomly picked my name and it is likely they are just trying to find a path or the ai took control but I haven't seen that happen since beta 10. I think you just don't know how to click a mouse.

error |03:49:58: [buildStructure] Player 2 (AI): is building WallTower02 at (73, 29) but found WallTower02 already at (73, 29)
info |03:52:43: [NETplayerKicked] Player 6 was kicked.
info |03:52:43: [MultiPlayerLeave] ** Player 6 [andres], has left the game.

Your screenshot is from lobby. Your log file shows game allready started when player was kicked, and when warzone kicks a player their will be a reason code (from what Ive seen).

Edit: IE andres left on his own accord and warzone later kicked him possibly because the socket was not free.

3. Sometimes , He can control other's Truck ****
.
. Anyone play with this man , Plz keep any Log to trace

Prehaps your press R or Control R which will send trucks back to HQ or to be recycled. Yes I haved played against Daltx and Fastdeath many times, they can be beaten with a good partner. If your new you dont want to play these 2 because they are both pros.

Note: there was a glitch in past were a ghost player would share same base as a player in game, hence the loss of control in trucks.. Have not seen this happen in a very long time and assume its been fixed.

my friend didn't push any key to build any bunker
but his truck auto to build many many bunker

so , my friend is newer-player that his truck will change to auto type ? by press R or Control R?

I know that host can cheat in multi-player type ,by use some cheat-tools like "cheatengine"

we will trace more log

I assume your friend knows that by dragging the mouse trucks will build "many many bunker".

I don't know what you mean by auto type, but the key R sends selected units back to Head Quarters and Control R sends selected units to recycling and gives you half the cost back. I suggest you look at key mappings under options in Warzone to make sure a wrong key isnt being pressed.

I suspect you may have found a bug. If you can duplicate this then submit a ticket with your findings. It is much more productive than slamming a player. Most new players think others cheat, in reality there are very few cheaters. If you think someone cheats, simply find another room to play or host your own.

Guys, you can't really tell who is cheating via logs. If they took the time to really cheat, then they would take the time to modify the logs.

The game still has lots of sync issue (though better than before), so you can't really tell if they are really cheating, unless you know how the code works, then, it is trivial to tell.

P.S, Daltx, stop cheating!

The best way to determine if someone is a cheater is if he steamrolls you even though you control most of the oil on the map.
The difference between pro players and cheaters:
-Pro players fight very fiercely over the oil resources and will aim to get control over the majority of them as quickly as possible. They gain superior technology because they have more oil derricks and better resource management. They don't make useless attacks and they use the most effective weapons avaliable to destroy you. They also try to minimize their losses by attacking your weakest spots.

-Cheaters are usually not as interested in gaining control over the oil resources, since the most common cheat is infinite power. They also appear weak in the beginnig but since they research very expensive technologies they suddenly get lots of powerful weapons. Even though they do not have many oil derricks, they may start steamrolling you with all kinds of units (I remember a cheater who rushed my base with lots of incendiary howizer tiger hover and no sensor) and they care little about losses since they have infinite power.
