Thread: .3 Second Positional Update Delay (Requesting Dev Response)

The server in this game listens to the client in regards to character position apparently (and not the other way around as you made it sound). Maybe I just misunderstood your other post.

My understanding of this hack is that they are modifying the packets to give the server incorrect information. People have decrypted the packets and are injecting them with false positioning data thus teleporting. Its basically a man in the middle attack.Modifying the packets before they leave your machine on the way to the server and modifying them before they are received by the client. Its how they were able to add any item in the games database to their inventory by buying hi potions.

Either editing outbound packets - or simply editing memory since that's probably easier than decrypting packets. Either way it works because the server accepts what it thinks the client is telling it.
