30x Speed lobbies

Summary

I’ve received multiple reports from players about a strange bug where all players in a lobby are experiencing 30x speed, even though my map does not use any sequencers. This issue occurs randomly and significantly disrupts gameplay.

I got another report about this happening again, and luckily the player who reported it knows how it works.

It’s a hack that lets players change things on the server, like health and server speed. This is a server killer because they can mess with the speed of the server, ruining the experience for other players and making it seem like there’s a problem with the game.

The guy who posted the video is actually promoting his cheat on YouTube, which is even worse.

I really hope this gets looked into ASAP.

Here’s the video:

The speed change happens at 5:24.
