Hack, hack, you're hard to beat.

What seems to currently be Ace of Spades biggest problem, besides connectivity, are the hackers. Throughout my tim in game I have only had a few experiences with hackers. For me it was the innocent grenade hacker that wanted to mind his own business and blow a whole in a mountain. I was lucky. Others say they have had to deal with players with infinite health and ammo, increased movement speed, and even infinite blocks. Unfortunately all the data is client-side. This means clients are able to use programs to manipulate values giving them the special "abilities". However the creator didn't leave us with no anti cheat at all. To try and stop cheating Ben (creator) has the game check to make sure the iron sight image and player models had not been edited. Also, I am yet to witness this but it might be possible a server have created a serverside program that at least allows kicking clients. Now we wait and see for the next update. For now hopefully the server control program will need to hold us over.

The iron sight image and player models checking can be easily disabled trough .exe editing. Game is really easy to hack, it needs more work and the crucial variables like player health,ammo should be server-side.

well make it that if you start the client it will try to auto update except for the kv6 that would solve some stuff
