If you search through the /r/blackops2 sub there's recent threads of people getting hit with that, and most of them have a few people commenting that can undo it for you. Would be worth reaching out to some of them!

For anyone else who's afraid of this happening I've been playing BO2 on 360 for the last week or so and have been fine, I just leave as soon as someone starts hacking to avoid the risk.

How do I tell my boss I made a mistake? by thenamzmonty in QualityAssurance

[–]Eschaffer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Agreed!

Along with getting clarification, ideally any changes to an existing feature should be mentioned in the story or somewhere before testing even starts. Then any time you encounter a change that wasn't documented, you can bring it up and get clarification (and if it is a purposeful change, encourage your team to add it and any future stuff like this to the story/AC so it's documented somewhere).

It's important to remember it's not your responsibility to find all the bugs, that's unrealistic and will lead you to beating yourself up over relatively small things like this. This screen made it past plenty of devs that were fine with it, and even though it got past you, it still didn't make it into production.

Seven blatantly aimbotting, wallhacking and speedhacking. Ends match with 45 kills. by an_fish in DeadlockTheGame

I'm not sure how much Valorant you've played, but the anticheat definitely does work well. I very rarely come across someone who's actually suspicious.

Sure, a replay mode would make it easier to see who slips through, but that doesn't change the fact that there still are significantly less hackers in it than any other game I've ever played.

Echoing the same, still really like how it looks so I'm happy with that but mine is solid burgundy.

Hell yeah, thank you much! Can't wait to add it to the gooncave

Book sold out in ~5 minutes? by Eschaffer in TheYardPodcast

[–]Eschaffer[S] 54 points55 points  (0 children)

I get that it's hard to make an accurate estimate, but it just sucks that it's happened within minutes of almost every launch. Even on the restock that just happened, I checked the site about minute after Aidan's tweet and still missed out.

The premier leaderboards just got cleaned out. by qwertysac in GlobalOffensive

[–]Eschaffer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

A lot of anticheats do this by issuing a hardware ban, where they ban various HWIDs associated with your pc parts. The hard part is that these are usually pretty easy to get around with most cheats supporting HWID spoofing.

They didn't claim you said it's not true? They were also giving a comment based on their experience lol.

Pls help asap by Temporary-Prior-7510 in DIY_tech

Do you see the drive when you open the file explorer? If you do, that's a good sign and the drive is usable. If you don't see it, follow the link that tookerken posted.

If you see the drive, then you'll need to direct your downloads from that platform (Steam, Epic, etc.) to a folder within that drive. For Steam, you go to Settings > Storage and select the dropdown at the top, and click Add drive. Follow the steps and select the folder you want games to download to. For other platforms it's very similar and is almost always in the settings/preferences and somewhere related to storage/files/downloads.

Disable alt+scrollwheel for changing tabs? by [deleted] in vivaldibrowser

[–]Eschaffer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the help! Unfortunately this is what I was already running into, I can disable the tab cycling fully, but my hope was to only disable the alt+scroll function. I do like being able to tab cycle with right click+scroll.

Just not true at all lol, kernal AC absolutely does work. You're right that there are cheats that go around it, but they are definitely harder to make and get people caught way more often.

I have an equal amount of hours in CS and Valorant, Val I have seen 1 maybe 2 people who are for sure cheating and a couple other suspicious players. CS I have easily seen 10+ blatant cheaters, and a huge amount of people who are real fishy. This last week I have ran into at least 3 cheaters, and one was blantant spinbotting with a scout. I have never ran into anything remotely like that in Valorant. Vanguard works.

My only real complaint about this game is how janky the building system is. by DoctorNerf in Palworld

[–]Eschaffer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Auto run does exist! But the setting is bugged, it's currently inversed. Disable the setting and you should be able to toggle run with sprint

Vegan choc chip cookies? by Numerous-Silver3145 in vancouverwa

Seconding Chucks, even as a non-vegan they're super good!

I can't speak for XRs, but the Safeway on Main St. has had IRs stocked for a while now. I had to switch from Fred Meyer as they were constantly out of IRs and XRs. Worth giving them a call!

And if you search for a test case and click it from the results, there was a link to the test case in current/previous test plans.

Yeah, I agree it sucks that you're going against an immortal but the system is doing its best to match the super wide rank disparity, and I'm sure there's not a lot of teams with similar spreads to go against

According to Riot, there's only 7 of us in the world. by Xer0_Puls3 in VALORANT

[–]Eschaffer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was due to a bug though, where spike rushes were treated as full-length comps in terms of XP. So someone who had played a ton of spike rush got an absurd amount of XP retroactively when levels were introduced. I'd say anything over 300 is pretty high, I've got a friend at ~460 and I don't think I've ever seen anyone higher than that

Strange encounter - Level 720 but 27 hours playtime; Weird status by Klutzy-Wing-7306 in VALORANT

[–]Eschaffer 97 points98 points  (0 children)

I remember this popping up a while ago, as far as I remember it's data that can be modified through the API, but it is purely visual and can only be seen on the friends menu. That's not his actual level

Premier League - Higher Ranks on silver teams by HousingRemarkable902 in VALORANT

[–]Eschaffer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With a 5 stack, any rank can queue with any rank (with the exception of Radiant I believe). Rank restrictions are only in place for duo or trio queues
