Company of Heroes cheaters, beware!

Posted in Company of Heroes by on January 9th, 2007

Buggo has confirmed that she is now banning accounts from Relic Online for cheating. From the sounds of it, this includes people exploiting the drop bug/exploit/hack.

Accounts have been banned already, with more to come. I’m personally doing it.

If you cheat, that’s your fault.

For those curious, read the following post for some detailed clarification on the drop bug/hack issue. A lot of players still do not understand what exactly the fuss is all about.

Stressing the consequences without first explaining the crime can lead to mass confusion, paranoia, and a PR debacle.

Hey!

i played coh rankedgame for 10 minutes ago and some poor guy with the name: COMPANY OF ZEROES. he whined and sad that i had used some mod thing he said and that he will ban my account? i wonder if anyone else have had the same problem with him… what i mean is this Cheat discussing is making some go nuts just complaining that everybody cheat just becuz they lose, i think you should calm down a little bit or soon it will be like CS everybody is a victim. it says alot of peps that are spelling “bad” words. what about noobs that cant take that they have been beaten and MUST threat with that they will ban your account? i think some anti-cheat program like; punkbuster should be inproved but thats just me.

hope that poor guy stop whining and learn strategy. for the best to all of us.

im banned because i created new users because i forgot the names

hello, my account has been banned. I bought COH from a second hand retailer a while ago, and since the new patch has come out, have twice had to reset the product key to myself solely and now as it has happened again, have had my account banned. This seems unfair. I have legitimately purchased the game, and the expansion, and at the time, a second hand copy seemed a reasonable choice as there was no online patch available (it was only up to 1.3) However since the patch came out and opposing fronts pushed the lot up to 2.1 I had to log in to relic online, and validate the product key which is where my problems began, and the only guess I have is that the person or persons who had the game originally before selling it still have an install (as it didn’t need the cd at first) and have patched that install up and persist in going online when I am thus causing the conflict resulting in my ban. I can give you the full details and product key as evidence, even photos of the manual and box. Please help. Thank you very much.

Where i send videos of cheaters?

Hi all,

I was just registering a new account and than i got a ban. I just wanted a new accountname with not statics.

When you register the computer says you can be banned but you realy want to go further with this action. I said yes. I registered a few account and than i BAMMM i got a ban.

This is not so good of THQ and Relic. I bought the game in a store named dixons in the Netherlands…

This is not so good of them :’(

people using somekind of mod- units already vet-3 status, not getting pinned front of MG, getting resources 2xtimes faster, deploying units 2-3 times faster, Tanks not even scratched when shooting front armor. last game hitted Flag-panzer 4-times REAR with american AT-gun it still shooted and finally killed AT-crew, i thought that AT-guns are for Armor?
Artillery knows exactly where to shoot, miles away(Brits dont have camouflage) and very VERY devastating result: 2 shots building and its gone! I know this will result massive nagging about you noob&cant play, trying to silence, cheat revealing.

Those mod-cheats not showing in replay, it somehow transfer video to seen that everybody is same speed. You only see that mod-cheat by playing against cheater and I say there are lot of cheaters. Rank-system always are hunted by cheaters….I remember when people in Counter-strike said”that guy is too good to be real”, at this day it is Most Cheated game in World! If Relic doesnt act this mod-cheating aggressive, this game will be next to CS, most cheated game in world.
Punkbuster seems to be very good anti-cheatsystem, cuz its banning the Hard-drive not cd-key, cheating will cost big bugs. Take action NOW!
