UAC "donator" busted

One of the 22 people that were given UAC3 donator status by our blog was caught cheating today - ironically by UAC. Ex-member of {|GA|} known as AngelFire who recently applied to |URT| under the name Natokilller was caught with two accounts in short sequence - link1, link2. Because we feel personally offended by this (reportedly) girl we publish not only xfire name loliip0p but also IP range - make a good deed and ban 39.53.*.*.

RDM-KDM, superadmin in Suspects Heaven, failed in his UAC bypass attempt. After 3-days-long discussion within the community, he was kicked. Eye-opener - don't trust each and every YouTube video.

Finally, one video to give your day some colours. Player using name {FAB}TUNA using wallhack on {KL} server, but he is still active on more 1.0 VIP servers. IP is from Saudi Arabia (is there any clean player from this country?), however we are unsure if he is a name-stealer or real member of {FAB}. Inform us if you know.

{<BoS>} clan is back

Brotherhood of Steel clan, active on 1.0 in VIP mode a year ago, is back. Their SWAT4 server was launched recently. Camping and spawn-killing is not allowed.

One of the leaders is swat_SK, who was mentioned in one of our older UAC cheater reports. Now he has a new clean UAC account, but SMAC banned him twice in the past two weeks with name "xXx", both times for long-arms. Maybe bug, maybe not. He uses also other names: Diablo on Gametracker, karlos161 on xfire. The other leader Aragog (Czech republic) is unknown to me, as well as the upcoming activity of the reborn clan on the scene.

Improve your computer performance in SWAT4

We bring you couple of tips that can help you in increasing your game smoothness and FPS. Hints were prepared by Sttus and though these might not work for all, give them a try if you experience any HW-related lags or FPS drops.

- Running the game in compatibility mode can affect performance. Right click on your SWAT4.exe, then go to Properties, Compatibility and change it to following: Windows XP SP 2, Windows 2000, Windows 98, ... (you can try any of these, some might help more, some less, or it won´t help at all)

- INI improvement 1: go to your SWAT4.ini and find [D3DDrv.D3DRenderDevice]. Seek and change UseTripleBuffering=False to UseTripleBuffering=True. You can get performance gain as high as 70%

8 years and counting

 SWAT 4 is like a drug, you can't live without it"

Some Guy

Seems those words were very true because, despite all the problems, SWAT 4 today celebrates it's 8th year of existence! Happy birthday!

This image has not been modified - a different color icing was used to spell out 'SWAT' on the side of the cake

Cheaters report

It's been some time since the previous cheaters watch, so who were the sinners in the last month?

- Member of FBI community bbobov4 with his UAC name genna.

- HoP server player |PB|_Lysy_ had over 2000 clean screens on UAC until he decided to change that with his account expower.

- Former {SWT} member bunnyhoppermkd was caught twice. After his première he continued cheating mainly on SH server by running game on one PC and UAC on another. Thanks to the fact that admins did not ask him to upload screens he could do that until he was caught for the second time.

- DoK|»Pionnier was the first UAC victim of JF RD tournament, causing his team this loose by contumacy.

- »Cartel«Soap (xfire: percy93) was second "star" of the same tournament. Luckily for his now ex-clan, opponent agreed on rematch without this looser. Later he tried joining {SWT}, but got denied just to be accepted to |URT| clan soon after.

- Speaking of |URT| this is the first clan we would like to warn you about (btw not for the first time). Their players change names often and they accept players with cheating history without questions. Some of them accuse of cheats, but they themselves refuse to join UAC. Our recommendation is to ask them to join UAC automatically and if they refuse to do so immediately, take further admin actions.

- Second team that has a high number of people from UAC cheaters list is 2pro4u playing 1.1 mostly. Looking at their roster half of them has a cheating record, so once they ask you for a match, insist on playing with UAC (note that some of them won't be able to do so due to HW ban).
