So actual cheaters aside it seems their anti-cheat program cannot tell the difference between a speed hack and lag? Interesting...

IDK if it is that this time or something else....but something is wrong.

Well lag was mentioned and when lag happens people repeat actions because they don't work right away due to latency thus making the server consider it spam. Same can apply if said lag happens while you're running fast. Since the server is laggy and the one being slow it considers you faster than normal.

Same issue for me. I was practicing VMA and got kicked from server. Contacted customer support, they said I violated rules (hacking) and suspended the account for 72 hours. Luckly for me I'm recording all my runs, so no one can blame in cheating unlike some real hackers we have on leaderboards for weeks now. I'm so pissed now and I feel like if they are not fixing this nonsense in the nearest hours, I'm gonna rage cancel my subscription forever >.>

While this has occurred before in different games, I hope their anti-hack program isn't detecting video recording software as cheat software on your pc. That would suck. Who knows at this point. Like you said, your video's speak for themselves in VMA. "Skill & Practice", not cheating.

I suppose Basketballs Stephan Curry in the US should be banned from the NBA because his 3 point shooting looks too good to be true, by this standard, of course....

I guess so. I mean I am not a programmer or whatever and I really don't know enough about any of this to make any educated opinion. What you say makes sense, though.

Oh also, I really was just running like normal, hit Twisting path, run into tent, stab, repeat. FPS dropped but I didn;t have any very very low FPS or huge lag, so I don't know really.

Combine something like that with expedition potions and/or speed boosts, voila - you got a "speedhacker".
Wonder what is the real amount of these "legit" suspensions because not everyone posts on forums.

Probably not for at least 12-13 hours till east coast USA Saturday working hours.

I also hope they really do not consider this thread discussing discp. stuff since none of us knew before but I've screenshot the whole thing in case.

interesting, now I'm becoming more sure how this new "anti cheat" program works, because I was on my nb too, using refreshing path and sprinting, then got fps drops/lag and kicked from server. Speedhacker confirmed, AI wins.

They don't work on Saturdays. Gotta wait until Monday morning.

I've made it a rule a long time ago to never ever push any server updates live on a Friday.

If they were smart or cared about their player base they would recall people in and pay them overtime or swap a working day for compensation. This is unacceptable. Why on earth would they install an anti cheat program on production servers without fully testing it on dev first. Who's in charge? If I were you guys I'd start tagging that person...

That slap in the face when a forum moderator says they'll look into something and 5+ hours later we still haven't even gotten an acknowledgement.

Ranks right up there with "It was only a couple lines of code. We don't need to test it."

I have the same Account Suspended

Also got an email saying I was banned for 72 hours for Speedhacking

I've never even cheated/hacked a game in my life and I wouldn't do it in ESO and risk losing 2+ years of progress just to get an extra bit of speed

hamgatan

I also am showing up as suspended. The account portal says for speedhacking.

I've had a broken right ring finger for the past few days and been in a splint and haven't been on. Go figure.
