Locked For "Speedhack"?!

[sacrificiallamb]

Ok, maybe you guys can help me. I just got kicked off the Er TDM server...TWICE.

After I fragged someone named "a", this happened:

Disconnected due to security reasons, check your internet connection/CPU if you think it was a wrong alert

Try reconnecting after typing this command: netspeed 500000

[CoAdminZ]: Sacrificial Lamb got locked for a possible speed hack

Ok, I don't even know how to hack a server....and even if I did, I would never do that.

So did I get kicked off the server for a legitimate reason, or did someone just mess with me because they felt like it..?

I am a confused and sad lamb...

Edit: Oh, and Apocalypse was on the server. Is that relevant?

[sacrificiallamb]

And now....make that three times.

And now I can play on the server again. Weird. I suspect that someone was kicking me from the server for shits and giggles. Hopefully, it's over...

As the message says, you got locked for a POSSIBLE speedhack, the server can't be sure if you're just experiencing a huge ass lag spike or got a wrong configured CPU speed ( which causes your game to run faster ) and just kicks you to protect the server.
Most of these speedhackalerts are false detections what made me make that "speedhack" check more tolerant in the last CoAdmin updates.
But it still sometimes rarerly kicks people who are beyond the server time (speedhack) because of lags / cpu problems.
Its also possible that something really caused that CPU bug on your pc(power schemes,cool'n'quiet etc. can do this), which made your Rune run faster.
Well anyways you probably didn't understand a shit of this, just sayin' that no one was fuckin with you nor did you use speedhack.

As Slade already mentioned, nobody was fucking with you. The automatic kick was necessary to protect the server. Most of these detections are false but worth it when someone actually wants to crash the server.
