Valve stops L4D Xbox 360 cheaters News
Xbox 360 News by Robert Purchese
Valve has made server-side fixes to stop people cheating when playing Left 4 Dead on Xbox 360.
"Valve has released a server-side fix to deny the recently reported cheats on all dedicated Left 4 Dead Xbox 360 servers," says a statement from the developer on Blue's News.
"The fix is designed to halt the cheating behaviour on the dedicated servers, which accounts for the majority of the co-op and Versus modes of play.
"A title update for those playing on user-hosted servers and/or via system link will be released in the coming days."
Cheating involved using a mod to unlock PC-style console commands, which grant control over nearly all of the content; spawning baddies and weapons, giving infinite health, making things disappear and turning characters into giants.
There's a video of the cheats
in action on YouTube.

Allowing non-local clients to set sv_cheats 1 on a dedicated server = fail.

What about knocking cars around with the tank?
Had a fascinating Versus game on No Mercy chapter 1, where the Infected simply didn't attack to start with, a tank spawned really early, and smashed a car down one of the outdoor corridors into two survivors, quickly finishing off the two remaining survivors who were of course only armed with peashooters. If this is a repeatable tactic, then perhaps the cars should just explode when hit by a tank, rather than being slightly annoying level-finishers. Previous to that, the exit to the level had been blocked off by a tank knocking the car into the subway entrance - with no way to navigate past it for the Survivors. |

Cheating really takes the fun out of it for both sides I really can't see the point.
Cheating side... oh look we won again... they didn't have a chance again... this is getting boring... None cheating side... Oh look we lost again... we didn't have a chance again... this is getting boring... |

That might explain why i had nine witches in a room last night on VS no mercy.
while your at it can you sort out the glitches to stop people being dragged off roof tops and resulting in instant death, but when you get dragged off an 8 foot wall the character will grab the edge like his life depended on it and you might want to block off under the walkway on rooftop finale as a lot of cheap players now tend to just sit there untill the chopper arrives. oh and one other thing when are the new maps coming? |

"Isn't it against T&C to modify game content?" This isn't modifying game content, this is a security exploit that allows users to remotely change server configuration options without having the required permissions to do so. If they didn't want people to be able to change those options then they wouldn't/shouldn't be options. ;) |
