My PC is a beast (still running on XP to avoid crashing issues, though) and the only thing
that did change within the 6 months of my absence was the hackshield. There's no other
explanation as why I lag other than the hackshield.

Oh yes, I am obviously complaining because I used to hack in NF, lol.

as far as i can see i have little to no issues with hs, i do lag up every now and again
from it, but thats usually from another program on my computer running, like avg.
personally i dont really care if they use hs, i just like playing the game laggy or not

That's funny, those same people that need professional help are actually the ones that let
you play the game for free. If it wasn't for those who did pay to play, SDE would not be
making a profit and you would not be playing this game.

Just some food for thought.

Valefar,

thumbs up on the comment.


you're going to have people who try to hack or cheat their way through a game no
matter what you try. it's part of the business, and it's the reason why you've got
moderators, Team NF members and so forth, to actively patrol through the
servers/games and find those who are doing so (assuming that they actively do this
while they're "on duty" and not just playing around with the boys gaming and
ignoring their duties. not an accusation, just merely using it as an example).

I find it sad enough that people need to actively go out and buy premium sailors and
every other premium item to be "good" or even "great" at NF, let alone how pathetic
it is that somebody needs to hack/cheat using a map reveal hack, or some other
lame trick in order to be a winner.

it just goes to show just how much professional "help" some people need in realizing
that "it's just a game", you win some, you lose some. if you're paying $$ or needing
to cheat in order to enjoy a game, maybe it's time you turned off your computer or
laptop, put the mobile in a drawer somewhere, and find some other activity to spend
your time (other than gambling at a casino, as you obviously have some sort of
compulsive addiction disorder or something wrong with you in the first place) on.

not accusing anyone what-so-ever---but I often wonder what type of people post in
these threads? wonder how many of them are hackers..


I support the use of third party hack prevention tools.. other games work well with
them.. what you failed to do was pick one people are familiar with and has an
"american" feel to it.. i.e. punkbuster

I'm not saying punkbuster is foolproof, but I do know I would trust it before some
company that is thousands of miles away.. doesnt speak my language..---are you
seeing the customer service nightmare here?

If hackshield has done anything, its got alot of worthless players to quit, aswell as some threatening to
quit.

After they fixed the issues with compatibility mode, its worked fine for me.

The "hack" that I see most commonly is that used by fleets where they determine at the
split, which side is going to try to win and which side is going to give up.
This gets really frustrating because it is so very common now and if you are trying hard
to win, little that you can do when your side has a large group that is going to
intentionally loose.
Wish that SDNet would place as much effort in addressing this as they did with those that
hackshield is suppose to stop.

cheaters are only cheating themselves...i would let them cheat because eventually
they would get bored and move on to another game...

i would understand if was to prevent fraud or real life criminal offences but as for the
players that need to cheat to win are losers anyway

i do understand that NF/SDe would like us all to have a chance of fair play and
respect that totally...

as for the fog of war cheat... i know people relay postions of other to teammates via
ventrilo and teamspeak ...perhaps even in private messages

but anyways these so called cheaters are just lame and wont last long...its not
gonna make them good

Its like saying your pc wont catch a virus because you have an antivirus installed... I
believe SDE was targeting a particular type of hacks, and they thought that
HackShield could solve the problem, imo, it worked.

They better tell me how to disable it or else I'm gone.
