He's not the only one. Another played whose account is "wa7ch" and sometimes "Shadoo" likes to do this stuff as well. Both are incredibly toxic.

I don't think that is a cheat, i think he is using a connection issue to troll people. It happened to me, you get stuck while loading the game usually at 80 or 90 percent you can still use the chat to communicate with others but the map would never load unless you leave the server.

Isn't this basically lag switching? You're not delaying packets to gain an advantage over an opponent but to mess with the map's loading instead. This isn't being achieved with a cracked client necessarily, lag switching software does exist.

Didn't know you could manipulate the loading like this by dropping net package. "Sigh" another stupid thing to worry about because... some just want to see the world burn.

Maybe, but my and some people's theory is that he's using built-in cheat engine slow to slow his loading time. Also some people saw he's using infinite ammo, probably with cheat engine too.

I feel like a simple solution to this would be to add an auto kick feature that boots out anyone that takes more than X amount of time to load. For example, we have commands such as "max ping" and "max idle time" which automatically boot individuals that the server sees as unfit. It doesn't have to have a two minute cool down might I add.

Just a thought.
