I hope we have a better anticheat than this | Forums

You could go back and edit your two extra posts into the first one and then delete the two extra ones. You can delete posts using the Edit Post button as well, just keep in mind that it doesn't actually delete them. They're just hidden and the Ubisoft staff can still see them. It makes the forums much cleaner though!

Hacking is rampant in APB due to poor client data validation. It can also be due to poor PunkBuster implementation, such as in Crysis 1. If I remember well, it was possible to fly around the map, go thru walls, and have infinite everything, without PB saying a word. If you compare to any Battlefield game, which has strict client data validation rules (well at least since Frostbite) and proper client implementation, hacking is much less of a problem, when proportionally comparing the amount of players to APB.

Also, global bans are only triggered when the actual anti-cheat mechanism is altered or disabled, and that PB becomes aware of it. And, given the proper set of freely-available tools, I can circumvent a HWID ban in under a minute.

BF3 had some huge hax when it came out.. you could kill people tru walls.. i seen the videos

apb fixed many of the server check exploits rather quickly (and LOL you could NOT FLY/have ifinite ammo.... not even in rtw days), and ALL cheating mechanism are succesfully detected... they just dont ban instantly to make money off the cheaters (its true). but once your banned THERE is no way to make a new account that lasts

BUT if you read the cheater sites you can see they got screwed by the delayed HWID global bans since they lost access to EVERY other pb game.. they have the toughest anti cheat around

I hope you don't mean the beta glitch where you could go underground and shoot people above, because that doesn't really count as a hack.

I meant in Crysis 1. I'm sure this is still possible, although the game is probably dead now. Also, Crysis 2 was probably the most severe case of poor game files verification I've ever seen, which granted just about anyone to edit armor and weapon stats directly. But, PunkBuster handles those things correctly, so I'm not worried about GRO.

HWID bans are very easy to counter. However, I do agree upon the fact that free games must have more severe penalties, since there is no more "need to repurchase the game" factor to help deter hackers.

I seen several hack tool advertize videos

The trick is in constant updates

By easy you mean... buy a whole new pc? fake drivers can be spoted a mile away since they are not certified..

It wouldn't be very productive to post the actual method here, so you can either do a quick Google search on the matter, which should yield relevant answers, or PM me for additional info.

actually if you have any working methods to bypass hwid (without buying new hardware), you should email exploits@evenbalance.com and post any relevant info here.

If you're good at something, never do it for free.

there is no such way to bypass hwid unless your REALLY good at prime numbers or buy a new pc. not to mention online game cheat makers are the scum of the earth
