Is Lag hack possible? which ruins the game

[r_brutucus0 16]

i wanted to clear this doubt is lag hack possible in tanki? because i have experienced horrible lag when one player entered taking no names since i am not sure if this is possible 

 

 

Here's the explanation to how lag hack works  

 

[FaaiqBilal1 795]

Hmm.. It may be the reason that recently everyone receives a lag at the same time, for a couple of seconds, but if you look clearly, one player manages to grab a few kills in that moment.

i see more than 1 player act in those moments,but i see lags happen in common too...

sometimes it even happened when i could've 1-hitted a flagger and he capped cuz i lagged.. o.o

[Canadian_Eh 1,354]

Interesting theory. I strongly believe there is a big increase in cheating lately. This fits what I have been seeing as well.

[SpHryfBoss 573]

Today in 1v1 XP with cartzz we both lagged at the same time, even Faaiq was there to see.

Does that explain sudden gold box lag sometimes?

I've seen lots of lag when gold's drop too.  :ph34r:

i understand lag can be caused due to having slow internet as well but  i am guessing if lag hacking is possible in tanki a player enters making everyone lag and then when he leaves everything is back to normal

oh !

i know this.

it means that the "hacker" lags the enemy's [ or friendly ] player's game by making their connection weak by some unknown method of overloading.

i would like  a mod or someone who knows about the game to clear this for everyone who is curious and tired of  unknown lag causes

OMG yes! I have been experiencing this with other players too. 2 flag hoggers lost their flag at the same time, including me and everyone else. Except for the hacker of course  <_<

This cheat affects ping, not FPS  -_-

I think it's possible, so much hackers.

happens to me to it's annoying :(

[Canadian_Eh 1,354]

I wish I could video this. It definitely is deliberate. I see it mostly when someone grabs a flag. The game freezes for 1 - 2 seconds. When the game corrects it self the flag is either returned or half way to being captured, depending which side uses the cheat.

[BlitzPanzer12345 241]

The PING is always good but my game's FPS is just horrible.

Same happened to me and my team yesterday in Silence map playing CTF. Our opponents needed only one flag to win but we started to catch up with them once some inactive players left and other taked their place. They started to get desperate as we organized our defence very well destroying wave after wave of drugged tanks whilst our fast hulls bringed home their flag at a steady pace... then suddenly... BUM... everybody starts to lag. At first i tought i was the only one lagging so i refreshed quickly my page (not wanting to lose time waiting to get server error as i usualy do) to re enter and contine the struggle, but surprise surprise the battle was over and a new one just started (sadly at least 6k of supplies were thrown to the wind).

Later i found out that everybody in my team lagged... hmm... how convenient, so i asked myself how was it possible for the other team to conquer our flag since lags of such proportions seemed to affect everybody not just a single team.

For now my luck guess is a new type of hack as you all metioned before since its not the first time this week something similar happened to me although i dont have any proofs.

Lets hope the devs give us soon an answer of what could be the cause of such an unnerving situation!

Lag hack is commonly used by hackers in other games I play to gain an unfair advantage so that other players can't aim at them as their position changes erratically.

But contrary to what the OP suggests I haven't encountered a hacker who can make everyone lag and gain an advantage. I think the present problem of lagging is coz of some problem with tanki servers. About people capping flag when their is a lag, I have also taken the enemy's flag and reached closer to my base with it. When the lag is gone I cap that flag. :p

It happened me in xp battle yesterday, everyone lagged and lost flag.

[Canadian_Eh 1,354]

As I said the lags happen to conveniently to be random. Always when someone needs to grab a flag.

I think it is possible, I was in a battle yesterday (Rio TDM) and everything was going good, we had good kills and I was surprised that no drugger appeared. Then suddenly a player joined the game on the opposite team, and he started drugging and everytime he showed up, mega lag, and we all got destroyed by him, while nobody could even touch him. And I played on that match for around 2 hours, every match lasted until one of the teams reached 150 kills. So I was in many rounds and no lag, until that guy showed up...(and hi's name was quite weird too :lol: ). Quite sad, because it was a good match, and I won a lot of crystals, but everybody left, because of that one guy, who was still on the map at that moment when we all left.

Lag happens randomly and accidentally due to internet or computer problems. But lag is still possible to harness but its very un-controllable
