VALVE THERE IS A NEW CHEAT THAT CRASHES GAMES

[apculver03]

Hello everyone at valve. I know hacking happens a lot in your games but this one I just experienced was beyond anything i've ever seen. Rem on enemy team stand still in corner for 1 minute then 5 different people disconnected. The frames also dropped to about 3 fps. When I disconnected I could not reopen the game. I feel this is a very serious cheat that is way worse than auto parry or aimbot. I just wanted to bring it to your attention that this does exist.

Same thing happened to me. there will never be a match ID because everyone is forced to DC due to repeated crashing on rejoining the game. I tried to post about it but the Moderators deleted my post. The username of the hacker I was against was "#1 Lash NA".

Can you share your id or nick?

share the match ID... like this one on the top right, so we can check it in gameView attachment 88786

Usually when the game server crashes, the match database doesn’t get saved, so there’s literally no point in trying to find the match ID

there quite literally is no match ID. If every player abandons the match. The match doesnt exist in match history.

then why use a hack to just end the game before it is considered a actual game?
if you do that after a while the match still counts as lost for you

It's done if the game flags you as a hacker. If the game does exist how can it be reported on. I've seen it twice now.

It's not cheats, the servers are just unstable and sometimes crash.

For future similar situations where you'd need to share your Deadlock-profile, you can also simply share your match history profile via the third-party sites,
E.G. Statlocker.
That way you can be still followed even with name changes since they're tied to Steam-IDs instead.

Examples of my profiles:

https://tracklock.gg/players/25016464/
https://www.lockblaze.com/analytics/76561197985282192

Of course, if the match was "nuked" due to a server overload ("DDoS") attack, then most likely no one is able fetch and reupload the match info into the (non-official) API archives.

However, Valve-folks should still have log-files (of related non-public match-IDs), helping them to pinpoint your account should help them track down the issue / culprit / infractor.

It's not cheats, the servers are just unstable and sometimes crash.

There are more than enough of tools to make whole server-infactructures falter, especially via input-overloads and other "services".
It is certainly not as common in "dedicated server" and more server-side "refereed"-games.
But it can be done regardless.
