Does outspark never learn?

In todays patch they've re-added XTrap.

Its causing havoc amongst a population of players.

Furthermore, the botters are still in-game.

It seems like outspark simply doesn't listen to the community, nor does it seem to take the appropriate measures to address certain problems. I've been reading on their technical support forum that it is causing Blue Screens, commonly known as BSOD's. This problem wasn't seen the last time XTrap was implemented.

At any rate - I'm not saying measures shouldn't be taken to address botters and spammers, but a less-invasive, more compatible Anticheat solution is needed.

Botters, and hackers will always be able to bypass anticheat. Its only a matter of time. The only thing anticheat does is hurt one portion of the community.

Hmmm.... I do not like the little icon down at the bottom of my taskbar on my computer. Is there a way to take it off without being in violation of the ToS?

I also find it very funny that they have brought X-trap back... like they did not learn from their last mistake . Does not seem to be causing my computer as much harm this time around, but I know at least some ppl are experiencing problems. This won't stop bots even in the slightest however, so what does it actually do? Steels processor time and memory space from you computer.

Yep, pretty much has hosed up our access via the 2nd in the kids room. That PC has NO hack stuff. Hell, we have no hack understanding, we are so (wait for the sarcasm here good with computer operations that anytime something is not right our ONLY option is re-log and hope it clears up.

If it does, YAY! If not then we are just hosed.

So, yeah, for the 2nd PC in this house x-trap = hosed and that means when my grandkids are here on the weekend they will NOT be able to play Fiesta at all (umm . . . no suggestions that I let them play on my PC coz that ain'ta gonna happen. I put a PC in their room to get them off of my PC.)

So that's what the patch was about. I play BK and it has XTrap but it causes me no problem at all and I don't think it causes any problem with Fiesta either. That being said, if XTrap isn't getting rid of botters and only actual players I see no reason for it be coming back.

In short for the answer to the thread...


No.
