Lag switch doesn't have an AC

[mertcan4555]

MTA DD is dying cuz of this cheat, if you run the .ahk file you can have advantage on other players with lag.

To reproduce Download AutoHotkey from web. After downloading the cheat, press advanced settings on windows security wall, then click "going rules" from the left table, and add the rule "Lagger"(but please don't forget the rule name is changeable from the script. with the triggering only gta_sa.exe option. Then, do the same for "coming rules" and start the script, then we can off our internet in MTA:SA for milliseconds for have advantage.

Please paste reproduction resources (zip files) directly into this section. --> https://www.autohotkey.com/download/ahk-install.exe lag switch.zip

Screenshots

Additional context The script is editable with default windows notepad

There are multiple ways you can stop this, first by enabling sd 31, 32 and 33 (the anticheat exists, but it isn't enabled by default on MTA) https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/Anti-cheat_guide#.3Cenablesd.3E.3C.2Fenablesd.3E

Secondly, you could use onPlayerNetworkStatus to see when a player losses connection, and if he does it too often you could punish him for doing so.

server owners are not giving attention to this ac warning and people abuse it, thats why i post it.

[PlatinMTA]

Well, then its kinda the problem of the server owner, isn't it?

I wouldn't like to have the AutoHotkey labeled as a cheat since in my server some of the my users use this program since they don't like using /bind all the time.

[mertcan4555]

so you let cheaters cheat, okay. maybe in your gamemode it can't be coded as a cheat but in DD they abuse it, can't it get blocked in servers which has DD gamemode?

This can be fixed with Lua scripts quite easily, MTA provides all the functions necessary.

Please can someone upload to community a resource that resolves this

[mertcan4555]

please make a script to fix this, i promise i will force server owners to put it on their servers

[Lpsd]

@mertcan4555 Can you try the following resource with your lagswitch? I can't seem to get your lagswitch to actually do anything (visually it's fine, but I don't seem to loose connection at all?)

I will make a video about the effect of lag switch today, by the way this script does what? I don't own a server to test it.

[andreisrw]

Well, actually, you still can do lag switch through Python scripts. I made a code which works perfectly. May I share the script here or?

[mertcan4555]

man I know there is many ways to do lag switch but this .ahk script is popular at the moment, thats why i report it

[qaisjp]

@andreisrw please upload to https://upload.mtasa.com. That way only staff can access the files, rather than the general public.

[mertcan4555]

Is it fixed?

[mertcan4555]

I offer you guys to block all scripts of Autohotkey, it will prohibit many hacks including lag switch.

[Lpsd]

@mertcan4555 AutoHotKey can already be detected by MTA, it's down to server owners to enable this. It's not a fault of MTA if server owners can't properly manage their servers. There isn't a discussion to be had about this.

I've also requested you to try out the script that I sent above - have you done this yet? Did it prevent you from exploiting this "lag switch" issue?

[mertcan4555]

It works good but i dont think players use autohotkey scripts for good purposes, thats why i want a block for these .ahk scripts.

[Lpsd]

as I've said, that already exists. Due to a solution being available for the initial issue I'm now closing this.
