Thank you for installing a speed-hack detection. Has this been tested?

[Mr. Giggles]

I think there should be a wall of shame that has all the ppl banned for speedhacking if there are any that is hehehehe.

I also suspect some people "left" because of it... ^^

Vorspire, ty for the patch!

Question: What are the AI changes you mentioned, can't see any? Or is it just a game mechanics thingy?

Yes, it's pretty solid this time.
It no longer has anything to do with how many steps you take, so it shouldn't interfere with movement - unless you're *actually* speed-hacking.
We have a different way to detect it now which is more reliable, though I won't say how it's done.

( It's got nothing to do with counting steps or invading the client or anything that would breech privacy - it's all done server-side for those of you who may feel paranoid about my lack of an explanation )
