@@TheSpudHunter @kingenfuuken - Teamwork makes the dream work - That's why the chinese are doing it and stomping us all as 3AM US-East I can find them over here mining as as big group :X - They need to take a page(I can't believe I'm saying this) from CoD devs and not ban the cheaters but give them the five-nines of interaction/physical+magical damage reduction/armor penelty that gets tacked on the end of the caclulations - So they just get hammered repeatedly by normal players going about their runs and not a clue why its happening.

Love your videos, they are very informative. You got any new leaks cooking up for new video?

Thanks for sticking your neck out for your region. It's a touchy topic and well; someone had to be brave and let it rip. -well done. Glad to have you in the community.

The lead developer also has become the lead advisor for the Australian and New Zealand region. Nice!

what great news you presented today spuddy buddy im glad this is finally happening

As a Dark and Darker player from New Zealand, I am quite worried that I will not be able to join a match with my American buddies anymore. Although great for preventing RMT, I hope this doesn't shaft my ability to jam with the boys...

Got spud u are an absolute god for this! Thank you so much!

thanks for the update! Can't wait to jump back in

Great job highlighting the issue!

I do hope this doesn't affect my ability to play with my U.S friends, as they play on US East servers, whilst I'm from the U.K. But all in all, this is excellent news.

This man's videos are fantastic lol

Your editing is just hilarious best DaD content creator!

You are doing big thing for ALL of us, thank you, this would have been a huge problem to all servers in future, RMT cheaters would have infected everything. Thank you for this

Thanks heaps to everybody involved and thanks especially to Ironmace for their continued transparency throughout the development process. Their development has been rocky, but thanks to the community and people like Spud, we might be back to an incredibly enjoyable version of the game! I've had a week off myself. You got me re-addicted to Project Zomboid! Great vid, keep it up

Not an aussie but god dang the king we needed

bloody love it

we also need to talk about the RMT and the ESP problems in our own backyard. highroller is nothing but AP ratters and teams that only attack when its a third party using ESP

Gratz, big W

The best Christmas news. 🎅

That's good news foreshore! Good job devs.

me and friend of mine went "tiama" in every game since ur video . In every server to virginia to eu from brazil. whipping them out talking chinese . we spread the love and awareness not a big help but i think we made quite a few people angry. much love from france

i dont even play dark and darker and im stoked for spuddy lol noice

I might actually consider going back to the game after this good news

Well we know how well this ping lock has worked so far 😂😂😂😂😂😂

iT HAPPPEND TO ME LAST NIGHT ON US EAST... thank you Spud

Great news! And not only for Australia. We don't want the mob ruining our games in Europe either. I've seen the devastation in Rust, so I'm more than happy to know we might not have to deal with them so often

LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Great service king!

IronBluntweapon does it again!

They should have done this without telling anyone

the major issue being Ping lock is less effective on severs close to china

Hell yeah, well done Spud. Im europoor so we dont get the chinese invasion.. as much. But this is huuuuuge!

Massive news ❤

THANKS GOD

I am a happy chappy

Is there a stealth bug? I was in a high roller Ruins match today and a barbarian walked into one of the modules where I was hiding in shadows, I saw him pull a torch on the opposite side of the room, so I popped Hide before he made his way to me, then just beelined to me anyways and killed me. There is absolutely no way he couldve known I was standing in that spot. It wasn't an accidental swing, he just ran straight to me even though I was supposed to be invis.

It took me a second to understand "Ping Lock"...

The sea servers are full of hackers man

FINALLY

Any chance you can talk to them about applying the same labor to the US West server? They are just going to hop ship to the next nearest feasible server to continue doing the same. They are there by the dozen as well, though not in nearly as big a number.

KNEEEEEE

Rip to wescoast US servers if this is only Sydney

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!

im not yet into full video, but ping locked is easily bypassed by faking your ping with vpn, right?

@joorlon1994

7 ай бұрын

no because VPN only really affects your IP location, your ping will still be affected by your real location. If anything a VPN will make it worse.

Well listen, if all the RMTers are together, they will farm the gold peacefully with each other and become rich without anyone bothering them, that will affect the economy greatly

As an American living in South America, my only options for servers would be brazil or usa. My ping has always been bad on both (especially on brazil) and adding a ping lock would ruin the game for me. I hope they add it in a way that doesnt kick players like myself while also fixing the issue with rmteamers in oceania servers.
