Basically everyone playing the game cheats too, just to different extents.
Playing this game you only cheat yourself.

Can you *** please stop cheating in a 17 year old dead game? Go cheat in a game that *** matters and leave this husk to the people who actually still enjoy playing. Christ. Nobody enjoys playing. It's a force of habit born from a traumatic experience now. We play this game to fill a hollow void in our otherwise meaningless lives. I got my *** beat for staying up late doing Temple of ugh mission..... didn't even win that night

I'm seriously not surprised another exploit was found. It just makes me wonder what else people have been hiding away all these years.

a fun game to play with this thread is that every time someone makes a disingenuous assertion that "something that you basically need at a base level if you're going to participate in VW spam at all because people will scream in your face if the box stays up for more than like 0.5 seconds" is literally the same tier as a dupe glitch or exploit in and of itself or even, like, as egregious / a thing SE will ever care* about banning people for as position or speed hacking, take a shot
soon you'll be too smashed to even be able to keep reading the idiotic assertions, and then, my friends, you'll have won the thread
*: yes, I know that, technically speaking, every single thing including sneezing while facing in a direction other than the one your heart tells you is a TOS violation of equal severity and can, theoretically, get you banned. everyone who's ever claimed they got banned for doing something completely innocent got banned for something else and is too chickenshit to admit it. that's just a fact. some things you get banned for - IF they're reported - and other things just won't ever matter. and that's fine. you use windower too, it's okay, it's 2019, we can stop trying to LARP the moral high ground about it while lying through our teeth. it's okay. deep breaths. relax. good boy.

Are you calling me butthurt or spengler? If me, wut. I'm only poking fun at your poor choice of words, you don't accidentally send specific packets like that. I have nothing to be butthurt about. Spengler may be because he isn't getting medals off his sugar daddy anymore.
Thanks for confirming spengler is who we thought he is though - someone leeching medals off you only to think that makes him an elite hacker.
Yeah, the hurt was not pointed at you, but fair enough on the other point. The accident wasn't on the packets injected, but on the indexing itself; that was the accident, only it wasn't brought to light until after the fix. Just kept my words simple to keep from more people do it. I wanted to inject the packet so I could make multiple trades to oseem at a time for augmenting, that was how I mistakingly realized my accident from years ago. The more I call out one person, the more messages of hate ensue; it's quite impressive!

I won't disagree with you. Cheats are the only thing that make the same ***still fun 20 years later.
It is literally a chore simulator at this point. It's nothing but dailys "campaigns" and fomo.
(It never wasn't a "chore simulator" but it had some game in it too, back then)

Can someone explain why this backwards logic got 5 likes? If you're going to cheat, cheat on a game that doesn't matter and is dead. Why cheat on a relevant game where you can get banned in 5 seconds by active gms?
I feel like i'm taking crazy pills, people actually suggesting cheat on a relevant game rather than a dead game. It's either a troll like jet or what
This morning (November 18th, 2019) we were contacted by an anonymous user who had discoverd a serious flaw in certain modified versions of the unsupported voidwatch addon that has been widely distributed throughout the community. Use of these modified versions of the addon could result in a ban. In light of recent events and the likelihood that users could unintentionally trigger this flaw we felt it was necessary to bring this to the community's attention.
We have contacted the author and confirmed that the original version distributed at the link below does not have this flaw. We believe this flaw was initially benign, but became exploitable following the emergency maintenance on November 13th, 2019; however, we cannot be certain of this. We will not provide details of how to exploit this flaw, and this issue has been reported to SE.
The original unmodified version of the voidwatch addon can be found at https://www.dropbox.com/s/ex1jtgqz4jtmxd8/voidwatch.lua?dl=0
This addon is not distrubuted by Windower, and is not endorsed by us in any way. Use at your own risk.
