DUST Search - lag or hack

The term "lag switch" encompasses many methods of disrupting the network communication between a console and its server. One method is by attaching a physical device, called a hardware lag switch, to a standard Ethernet cable. By flipping the switch on and off, the physical connection between the console and the server is disrupted. The newest generation of gaming consoles has built in protection against lag switches in the form of voltage detectors, which detect a change in voltage when the switch is flipped. Some manufacturers have taken counter measures to bypass or trick this detector.[4] This can also be achieved by simply unplugging the Ethernet cord going to the console, causing a disruption in the player's internet connection. Other methods, called a software or wireless lag switch, involve using a computer program. In this method, the cheater runs an application on a computer connected to the same network as the console. The application hogs the network bandwidth, disrupting the communication between the console and its server. However, one cannot do this for an unlimited amount of time. Usually, having no internet connection for 30 seconds will cause one's character / player to be kicked from the game due to inactivity / no internet connection

By this definition lag switching is the act of tricking the game server into thinking you are lagging while in reality you are not. What this does is make your player teleport around the game from other players perspective's but from your perspective everything is fine and not lag ridden.

Secondly because Dust is a server hosted game and not client side, It monitors all server client interactions and will notice if someone attempts to cheat. It also means that if someone was to attempt lag switching it would merely disconnect them from the server.

There is this thing called research. Maybe you should try doing some before toting off some BS.

And just because I am not a complete ass I will also inform you that what you are experiencing is just plain old fashioned lag.

No you kill this blueberry hacking the CRU we are camping. I already killed the last 2.
