Cheaters: kthula666, Ardenwolfe and !!!!!!

but at least on the consoles you can turn off the cross platform leaderboards to get at last a honest leaderboard.

That is true or they could remove cross play all together since it's really only steam play since only the computer scores along with whatever platform you are on that show up...............not truly cross play with every platform and since Steam is not policing their customers screw em. Seriously, other than a handful of legitimate steam players most of y'all aren't great anyway. Not being mean, but the benefit of crossplay is to be able to play with the best and frankly only a small fraction of those playing are really great and if it will isolate the cheats to one leaderboard that is not integrated with console players at the expense of losing a handful of great players................oh well. Life sucks.

cheaters

PC, Andriod and IOS are all lost causes to be honest when it comes to stopping cheaters as i doubt there is anything that will do it permanently due to the nature of these platforms, but with that said it is still a sad state of affairs when paying customers are the ones who feel the impact of this, but at least on the consoles you can turn off the cross platform leaderboards to get at last a honest leaderboard.

Here's what Akos said about it today on Discord:



So, there's still hope. Hang on just a little longer!

We shall see. Sorry, but 2 years of mostly silence with the occasional staff comment have left me skeptical. Akos seems like a stand up guy who doesn't strike me as someone who would just spout out rash statements meant to calm the restless, torch bearing natives, so I will hold onto the idea that maybe this time they will actually do something. As a person who has many top 10 and some #1 leaderboard scores I gladly await a leaderboard reset if it means ridding them of cheats, but if done hastily without first logging the suspect IP's the cheats will be encouraged to do whatever it is they are doing that Zen supposedly is unable to stop, yet again.

Here's what Akos said about it today on Discord:

Leadeboard resets are always something that are needed to be taken very seriously and we very rarely do them. This one warrants it though I know it is time we release a patch to combat these old issues, we're trying to push it

So, there's still hope. Hang on just a little longer!

I think they are still looking into this. That is what they said, anyway, the last time they replied in this topic.

Maybe it is a very, very complex problem, so it takes some time?

Dude, this has been an ongoing thread for well over 2 years. They aren't looking at poo and no scores to date have been removed. The conclusions drawn by others that Zen is simply not dealing with this, does not care, or that they have simply given up with this issue seems an accurate assertion that I readily accept as fact.

I wonder what could take this long that they still haven't figured out what's going on and taken action or at least give feedback about it?

Honestly, I just think they've given up. As long as we keep buying their new tables they'll carry on pumping out more buggy table packs & ignore the state of the completely ruined leaderboards. As a community, we're partly to blame for continuing to buy their new tables day one.

I for one would love an update on this

[Tech101]

Can't let this fall of the front page now can we.

My gawd, still not a single reply from Akos.
And the cheaters keep pilling up.

This is just sad.

Oh, i did not know this, thanks for the info, at least its a nice stop gap to get rid of all the android and PC cheaters making the leaderboards look a mess across all the different formats.

[Tech101]

Can't they just make the leaderboards relevent to each platform, so xbox will only see xbox score, PC for PC, android for android and PS4 for PS4.....at least that way the console leaderboards will be at least cheat free as the console versions are not hacked for online play.

You can already do that if you want by turning network sharing off in the settings. It still doesn't fix the problem of them not removing cheaters though.

Why no response?

You've had a very long time to "observe" and can't figure out how they are doing it.
Obviously you don't know, so just accept that.

Now do the right thing and remove the scores. Why are you so tepid about doing it?
Are you afraid the cheaters are going to complain?

Guess what?, there's more legitimate players complaining than there are cheaters.
So take the cheaters complaints and ignore them, instead of ours.
