Planes flying on fire and with no wings? Hackers?
« on: September 07, 2008, 05:46:24 PM »
            I might be late on this topic......But for several months now I have noticed many different planes flying after being shot up real bad with no wing no tails and on fire. While seeing a plane on fire still flying is not on commin, Planes with out tails or wings are. I run a fairly nice set up with my computer and at first I thought it was a glitch with my equipment. But after seeing one of these planes flying in and landing I noticed no name on in the text box when his kills registered! I have asked certain people that i can't name so I don't get in trouble. But they have told me that there is no way there can be any hackers in this game! Well I'm not sure, But the next time I see one these planes flying I will try to record it. Can anyone Give me any clues to what is happening if it's not hackers:)

thankyou 20mmrain

there is a glitch that happens some times where a person logs in  and doesn't quit make it all the way. Their name dosen't appear in anything when it happens. Relogging in most cases fixes it. HTC is aware of it and is working to track down the problem. If you see it again, film it and send it in to HTC.


oh, and mentioning the "H" word is a VERY big no-no.

Its a known bug fella - seen it a couple of times, sent film in - no biggie (although a bit annoying  :D)

It's all unrealistic crap requested by people who want pie in the sky actions performed without an understanding of how things work and who can't grasp reality.

I wouldn't confuse the policy of not discussing these issues in a public setting with not caring about the integrity of the game.  It's a charged subject and airing it in public doesn't actually accomplish anything other than potentially starting a witch hunt. 

The overwhelming chance that whatever wierd behaviour you are seeing can be explained with either a bug in the game or some sort of net issue.  But if there is concern about it just film it and send it in.  If there is in fact something going on they will deal with it.
