Hello!

One very notable mordhau player has just been banned for cheating. This was an enormous problem in C:MW, and mordhau has absolutely no anticheat

That person was in one of our first scrims we played in the competitive scene, and if nothing else was extremely toxic

Are you guys working on any kind of anticheat to prevent this stuff from happening again? Otherwise its going to super undermine the validity of the 1v1 aspect of the game

When I asked on launch, the consensus seemed to be "well, it'll just be fine" or "well there's no real cheats yet", but clearly the game suffers from at least a few of the same problems that chivalry had in that department, despite being serversided (ue4 uses a lax partly client authoritative network model for some things, its why unreal speedhacks are so common)

Thanks!

We do have an anticheat, two in fact; VAC and one coded in the game which I can't talk about too much.
The way this person was cheating wasn't done with external software, it was an oversight that was abusable. Due to the fact the said player wasn't using external software and told a developer how he did the cheat, he's not game banned, but he is effectively banned from competitive play, as the Mordhau Competitive Group (de facto community comp authority) has indefinitely banned him from competing. We would extend this ban over to other esports/competitive organizations as well.

Surely you mean 232>223, since while legs take less damage in general, 233 will still sometimes mean an additional HTK over 232.

yeah big typo late response

Ah, yes, only higher level players are playing Mordhau.

The buffs didn't really affect the lower level of play though

confidence/composure, don't panic when people get near you etc.

I would say go into a FL match and just go really late on the parries to practice, doesn't matter if you eat a few hits. Just get comfortable with reading the anims and keeping your cool. Also, another thing you can do is try going for a chamber on the initial attack and FTP (feint to parry) out of it if they morph, but that will be very stamina-intensive.

That being said optimal play isn't always about parrying as late as possible, if you do that you're open to accels and such, but it's nice to learn how late you can go on your parries before it gets overly risky.

we're probably changing this - won't be 1:1 momentum damage taken/received most likely, but enough that bopping some dude on horseback with a maul sends him to the shadow realm

Messer was just bad at higher level of play, so yeah.

Comment

Since he has contacted us with exactly how to do the cheat we won't be game banning him as far as I know, but he is indefinitely banned from the Mordhau Competitive Group, the community comp hub which virtually all tournaments are run through.

EDIT: since we know how it's done, we will be patching this in the future.

we're terrible with timelines, which is why we stopped giving any estimates. things are done when they are ready pretty much :)
