Also the bot detector did not automatically pick them up as a cheater.
A human cheater not having been picked up by the tool is not out of the normal, since the ways the tool uses to automatically mark accounts are very simple and easy to circumvent. As for him "spoofing his name and steam profile", this bug was fixed by valve a few days ago, and should not be possible anymore.
Either way, the bug did not affect the tool at all, since the means by which it obtains the player's steamID was not affected by the bug at all. That is all to say that if you had right clicked the cheating player and manually marked him as a cheater, the tool would properly warn you about it in future games, just as with any other player.
Kenajcrap is correct.
This was last night it happened. In-game his name was some date, in bot detector his name was "kick the bots", and his steam profile was a random collection of letters and numbers.
then its not what I explained. Could upload the logs from the pertinent day so we can take a look? Make sure to also include the one from the console
folder.
I'm not able to access my PC right now, I'll get the logs by tomorrow evening.
2021-10-09_22-49-33.log console_2021-10-09_22-49-33.log Here are the logs and console from the other night, the player in question speaks in chat at 01:25:37, and apparently does not have a steam ID.
I'm looking through the logs and the config file, the player cheater/bot hoster kicked me last, and in the bot detector window, the only non-marked friendly player was named "Kick your bots" After a little searching I found that a player with that name does pop up in console, with the same Steam ID as the 12/31/2021 guy(His steam ID did eventually show up). I'm confused as to how this happened though, because the name that was given in the bot detector (Kick your bots) did not match his in-game name (12/31/2021), nor was it red to indicate that the name had been changed.
I'm not sure if this is a known thing or something new, but I came across a player cheater who was able to spoof their name multiple times, so their steam profile, their in-game name, and their name on bot detector were all different from each other. The player was aware of how the bot detector worked and mocked it before kicking all the players with his party of bots.
