Any interest in an NA DM Server running anti cheat?

[Random54]

The guys over at Clanbase were good enough to allow me to run WREX anti cheat software on my servers. It works by kicking anyone not running their Anti-Cheat client. To play on a server with WREX simply install their client, run it before you start up UT3 and perform a scan. Then load up UT3 as normal (without closing the wrex client) and you can play on any WREX protected servers for the next 6 hours (before having to scan again).

Right now I have this as a vote-able option on my duel servers. My question is would anyone like to see this as an option for DM? My feelings on it are mixed. I know many would like the piece of mind of knowing for sure that there are no cheaters in the server with them. On the other hand this is not "newb" friendly and also it's a hassle for normal players to install the software.

If enough people would like to see this as an option I will default my Chicago server (cq.game.nfoservers.com) to DM with WREX enabled. Otherwise I will leave everything as is.

*Edit*
My Chicago server is now has WREX running at all times and is defaulted to DM. Join directly by typing "open cq.game.nfoservers.com" (without quotes) into your console or look for it in the server browser. - [cQ] Chicago WREX Anti Cheat Required Server -

Keep in mind you must have wrex running before you load UT3 in order to play.

I never knew cheating was much of an issue in UT3. Is this a recent development?

[Random54]

I've just been informed that a prominent member of the community has been caught using X22 and Helios as well as other cheats. The guys behind WREX were very happy because they hadn't seen some of these cheats before.

It is some one I have publicly accused of cheating.

So now that this is officially an issue is this something you guys want to see?

*Edit*
Turns out the guy that was caught with hacks is a known anti cheat coder from DFB. Most likely has them on his computer for anti cheat purposes.

[salvi prophet]

I would only play on a server with anti hacks. But then again none of my friends willing to play the pc version of ut3 because its to hacked up and thats for every ut game not just 3

[wikkid]

I am all for anti cheats, I would love to see Epic force the use of these on their servers but it probably wouldn't happen

[Fijut]

would be interesting if this happened on europe, if mtv forced this on his vctf server it would be interesting to see who still plays and the impact on the skill level.

Brilliant idea

[enoch84]

I installed and ran WREX. Maybe it's time to unban me from your servers. I'd like to see who will come and prove myself further.

Forgot you were banned or I would have unbanned you a month ago. Anyways I couldn't figure out which ip was yours so I just cleared the bans on my chicago server.

[enoch84]

Yea thanks.

I'm going to sit in your dm server until someone shows up. I played a full game with two bots earlier. I am tired today, but this angelwe guy in the beer_drinkers server looked pretty suspicious.

[mtv2004]

i saw you there yesterday enoch lol..........i think yesterday was a slower day than usual.....think many ppl were out shopping, traveling or find ways not to get broke lol

[Random54]

Updated first post. Made the server default to FFA DM with WREX. Enjoy

[bombs]

did the scan took about 8 minutes of precious pew time, joined server without a problem

[enoch84]

Any suggestions on getting Norton to ignore WREX?

[bombs]

No idea, I don't have any antivirus, just the default windows 7 protection.

[enoch84]

OH. I got it. It looks like Norton was deleting the file before I could add it to the exclusion list. Cheers.

[Random54]

Eset doesn't detect it as a virus / malicious

How much HDD space are you using bombs? My scan takes like 2 min.

[bombs]

oh I have like 30 gig free of 500... maybe that's why.

[enoch84]

I see that your server is always empty still. I would've idled in there today, but Norton was having issues with WREX. It was detecting suspicious .tmp file activity. I emailed WREX support. I'm still suspicous of the program in general.

I sure would like to get a few certain people in that server though.

[Random54]

Once 2 or 3 people get in there its fine. Why would you e-mail people for something they clearly state on their homepage?


If your FireWall/Antivirus alerts you about a possible risk or blocks it (because of a non standard DNS query) either when downloading or running Wrex, try adding Wrex to the exclusions list of your Antivirus, don't worry this is just a false alert as you can see on this link, Wrex has been validated successfully by 43 antivirus without any virus or malware.

Saw emac on my server today. Played a bit of warmup with him and legionz. Also if you want to get a hold of the wrex guys try irc.

[enoch84]

I had all ready added it to the exclusion list, bro. And it was fine after I did that. It's doing something different now. Maybe it's because Norton updated yesterday. If they don't respond soon I'll try IRC. Or I could just turn Norton off.

Yea I saw emac in beer_drinkers earlier. Rare to see him.

[enoch84]

Random, what is wrong w/ your WREX server? It's letting people stay who are not validated by the master server. I know this one guy was hacking. DavidWade3393. Dude had rediculous hitscan w/ 100 ping, headshotting people like it was nothing...anyway, he and other people were not validated and allowed to stay.

He's a better player than you. Deal with it. OLD MAN.

[enoch84]

27 is not old imo. And you might not want to support someone that everyone in the server knew to be hacking and whom elektronics banned. Doesn't look good for you.

I can still beat you 1v1. That's all it matters at this point in time.

Nothing wrong I simply changed a setting. The server will now allow people to play who do not have wrex but will let you know when some one is running it.

That's not even a response to what I was talking about. I don't even remember dueling you. If you use WREX I'll duel you sometime.

Well now no one is going to use WREX and it will all be for nothing. But yea, I get that no one was coming to your server beccause of it. I'll use it though, so that if I have a good game people will know it was legit. Maybe others will too, but I doubt it.

Good call IMO. Best call.

Yeah we all ready knew your opinion. As much time as you spend on this forum and as opinionated as you are about UT3, surely you're active in the game. You have to be. When and where do you play?

[coolcat22]

kids be nice xd

I've already beaten you in a duel before, bad. Why should I install WREX? I don't cheat and never will.

ALL YOU'RE DOING IS BUGGING PEOPLE TO USE WREX, SHUTUP. I NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH CHEATERS EVER SINCE I PLAYED UT3.

How about you come say that to my face, you little troll. I live in Salt Lake, UT.

I am in no way bugging people to use WREX. All I said to you was "if you use WREX I'll duel you sometime." That is not bugging you. When I play at beer drinkers I never pester anyone about using it. Random created a server that uses WREX, so I'm allowed to ask him about its functioning. I am not going to bug him about making it how I want. It's his server. I just stated my opinion one time, so he knows. And my WREX forum shows people how to use it and informs DavVador and Electrolonosis when there's an issue. And sure, I've asked Taffy if he would try it, but I 've accepted his answer and left him alone.

And far as you beating me...good for you. I don't remember.

I have no problem running the scanner, I have done my own scans and I like the idea that a server is running the server side version.
Ignore the troll, he has been banned already and by the looks of it, he is asking for another banning, no need to get into trouble with him.

Good advice. I'm glad it's working for you.

Really? Say it to your face? I will be in your face.

Yeah, I figured you would pretend we haven't dueled before. I totally destroyed you in 1v1's you don't even remembered what hit you. I feel so pumped right now. I can probably reinstall this game and own kiddos like you again.

All right, you know where I live.

No I don't remember. Reinstall the game and refresh my memory. Of course we would both be using WREX. I have a general distrust of trolls.

Even though I haven't played in years, you will still lose.

All right then.

What I don't understand is why you hang out on this forum if you haven't played the game in years. Don't you have better things to do?
