Well that's rude at best. If your patch gives you a better game play to the point of being considered "cheating", then maybe it should be made part of the game.

- matheweis 10y agoIt used to be part of the game, not 100% sure why they ever changed it but iirc it had more to do with technical limitations than game dynamics... also not sure why anyone would call it cheating if they understand the game well. I would have never banned you from my servers. Lots of people call anything cheating when they aren't good enough to win. All the more reason for neutral game servers rather than biased player hosting.
- nol13 10y agobut now im disadvantaged because i don't have huge 5k monitor
- robotjosh 10y agoYeah, I was told the game had to be shitty because some players still had pentium 3s. This argument was ridiculous as I was playing on a eee-pc (single core intel atom) with an external 19" monitor. My hardware was too good it wasn't fair? I started playing because it was open source, I thought players would be encouraged instead of discouraged from patching the source.
- ptero 10y agoAgree. IMO in general, putting limitations that can be easily, invisibly overcome by either a local patch invisible to other players or multiple instances running in VMs is counter-productive.
