BattlEye something must change
« on: June 22, 2007, 03:48:22 am »
Since today I have disabled BE in my servers, reason ? 80% of the players are getting kicked for not having the update. I have an idea, server admins must have the ability to make BE "required" or "not required" from server.ini The players that don't run the program get a tag, like [NO-BE] in front of their names, so we know who are using the anti-cheat and who don't. Until then I will keep BE disabled for my servers, we have an advanced system where players can always call an admin if a hacker appears so there is no problem there. I do however have a problem running 3 empty servers cause of BE.

While I agree, I'm also willing to hang in there until the problems are resolved.  I'll probably disable it in my servers until the next update, see if it works then, and so on until it works.  I'm guessing I'll end up doing that until 1.4.2

edit: a lot of the people who get kicked have come to me and said that they did update

@FLAB: Almost all who came here said so. In the end they did some stupid mistake and resolved it.

@Leo: We will not add such a feature. I already had something similar with Warsow in the past (due to Linux not supported yet) and it rendered BE entirely useless. So this is not an option, either everyone or no one has to have BE enabled.

I agree, the situation is not optimal, but it will get better from time to time especially with the new installer from chrisgbk that is now downloaded via Soldat's updater. When 1.4.2 is released and everyone updates, these problems will be history.

Yeah $able, until some BE update is released after 1.4.2 and we still don't have a working auto-update ...

A first BE update has already been released and it worked fine.

How often did I say that the auto-update in the new version works fine now? :-X

Oh I know you haven't said that, but is it something that is fixed by a BE update or a Soldat client update?

I must have missed you then...

Oh and is that a rhetorical question or do you really want it to be answered?
In case of the latter, Soldat client has nothing to do with it, that's why it now works without an updated Soldat.exe even.

$able, can you make BattlEye more hacker-proof? Lately, I have been seeing a boatload of hackers in servers that are usually hacker-proof, especially u13. I agree that disabling BattlEye is not an option because that is a recipe for destruction.

Shadow, these updates are addressing problems in BE, it is not intended to be a fully-functional system yet

ATTENTION!
Battleeye protection is disabled in Leo's servers.
All hackers go there. It's your new home.

and what makes you think this kind of spammy post is tolerated on these forums?  deleted and warned.

I'd say keep BE enabled, people who are too lazy or too dumb to download the new client do not deserve playing Soldat ;Q
I've set the BE Bantime to 1 minute, that's fine and people will this way learn to download the thing and still be able to play on their favourite server without waiting for the 24 hours to pass by.

We follow the servers through irc 24/7. I will enable BE when 1.4.2 is out and everyone gets the update. I am not gonna punish 70% of players due to the fact that they can't update BE.

Not if their limited knowledge of computers prevents them from being able to.
