UT 2K4 speed hack help

[bhof]

Somehow I get the message that a speed hack is detected on my system. I never d/l anything like this and have no cheats on my system. It must have been d/l from some game level on the net. How do I find what file it is and how do I get rid of it ? Could it be something that I accidently checked in one of the settings?
I guess I could re-install the game, but I hate to lose all the levels that are already played .

I've seen that before and I'm 100% cheat free too. I think the code to detect that hack must be flawed.

But I just saw something in UT2004 today that could've made me cry. An aim bot user. I've never seen it before in 2003/2004... damn it was good times... good times that are over I guess.

I don't know how to tell if they are using a cheat. Sometimes they can jump in the air and shoot me before I even get a chance to take aim on them. They are so fast, they must have some help. Of course I am not very good and these young kids are much faster then I am. Aim bot?? sounds interesting could I use it against my grandson, he is 9 and much faster than I. Anyway, this speed hack causes me to pause for about ten seconds in the game very often. Always get killed. I don't know where it came from.

Lag can actually trigger Speed Hack detection. I wouldn't worry about it and I don't think it can be removed as it's an anti-cheat measure provided by Epic not an option that you can toggle.

No, this guy was blatantly hacking. Everyone knew. Please don't try to use it =/

EDIT: He would lock onto you and NOT miss whenever using an instant-hit weapon (Lit-gun, Shock gun, sniper rifle, etc). However, he sucked with guns that have moving projectiles (flak). You could run, and he's shoot right beside you. If he was actually a pro and not a cheater he'd have no problem with the flak.

Grrr @ anyone using a bot :|
I have zero respect for such a person, as i too have seen a guy using one before.

What are you talking about UT2k3 and 4 BARELY have cheat protection they have checksum cheat protection. There are a whole slew of cheaters for the games!

yeah the aimbot is becoming a problem...it's not like the fun is over...I've seen 3 since it came out and I play in CAL/Proving Grounds ladders, which are cheatfree

I was just kidding about using it with my grandson. I wouldn't even know where to get it or how to use it.
Why buy a game that you want to cheat to win.
I just don't know how this speed hack got into my computer. We have been playing on the same server for months and it has not been here.

It's a bug I think. It happened to me once while playing and I asked about it on the server chat and they said just to ignore it and that it was a known bug.

I don't have UT2004 so this might be irrelevant.

In BFV I was getting kicked left and right by Punk Buster. I ended up going to the PB website and downloading the manual update tool. Apparently my firewall was preventing the autoupdate process while within the game. Ever since I did it manually I haven't been kicked. Maybe the UT anti-cheat update process is hanging on your firewall or isn't happening for some reason?

 

[bhof]

It's hard to ignore, when it stops you for about 10 seconds every minute or so. It happened on any server I tried. Tonight it hasn't happened at all. I guess it's a bug, but not in my machine, so it's ok.
Thanks for all the support and advice.

That's why i stopped playing these multiplayer games... you don't know if it's really because they're that good, or because they're cheating with aimbots. I wished there were more 'official' servers, like the old AT server, old Matrox board server, etc. Then at least if you're part of some sort of community, there's a lot less chance of it happening than just randomly selecting a server.

Yes, but you wouldn't believe how many times you get told you hack if you happen to be decent at an online game. It's quite annoying.

I'm a modem player on UT2k4, and I often get the "Speed Hack" if I'm losing alot of packets...
