Cheating??

Today I don't know how it was done but I saw and took pics of the game. We had a grandmaster in the game and as he was about to get beat then the game freezes then resets it self to the beginning, after playing for over 30 minutes. I don't pay for the game and expect this kind of cheating to be going on. I would like a refund of my purchase because this is absurd. The first picture was taken at 2:52 Mountain standard time. As you can see the player tim pinky 2 had no troops left as he was already defeated. The two last pictures have a time stamp on them. Look at the game timer the red bar on top from the previous picture is less than the latest picture timer has on. This has to be fixed. How do you developers allow this kind of cheating to take place??? Makes me think this Alain and Tim pinky are developer working for your company!!! How does a game reset to the beginning once it was supposed to be over???

I just had a game I was about to to take out a player and be strong at certain places. Some how my game keep discount me right after I set troops and start to attack so I set them again and the same Dame thing intell the dam timer was up and all 29 troops got spread out and the next player started killing me. Than my turn and what do think happen the same dam thing so I just quit. This type of crap is lame as hell almost enough to demand my money back for allowing this to happen. Didn't give you money to play a broken game. Also the dam dice roll is way off I was 4 to 1 at least and lost every time 2games ago I think . PLEASE FIX THIS OR I WILL BE CONTACT PAYPAL.

The screen shot with the players info on the screen is the game that was about to finish. As to why you see the yellow and red players with 0 troops. This in the time line is the very 1st screen shot I took. Time taken 2:49pm pic size 957kb The next screen shot clearly shows that game with only 3 players left in the game: blue, purple and green. Same as the player info one, but this time it's a pic of the game in play. Same time 2:49pm pic size 1.62 mb with green player on front Third screen shot is showing the game some how reset. Clearly showing yellow and red back in the game to the original places. Time taken 2:52pm pic size 1.64 mb red player on front How is that possible?? I time stamped some as well as proof. Hope this is a better description of the pics and how the game reset..

This just happened to me too!! Game was over 45 mins in and it just reset to beginning of game map... makes no sense what a waste of time. I paid for the unlimited play and this is redic!

There is obvious cheating going on. Somehow some players are able to freeze the game and also kick other players out the game. I have suffered at the hands of these cheats.It's a damn shame.

Agree on the privacy concern. I think one thing SMG could do is to build a battle log for users. Something like "most common player you're in battle with." This would easily give away the cheaters. 


And for non-cheaters, it's a great stat to see how many games you've played against your kid, SO, or parent. I would love stats like that. And if you do know that someone isn't a cheater, to see what that rivalry is like. 


I've definitely learned a lot from this forum. First, I never play GrandMasters now (I'm at Master level). No point unless it's 1-on-1 with bots but even then, it's a crap shoot since it's all luck rather than strategy. Anyway if there were more player info, I really believe that will help a great deal.

We have banned several cheatrers, hackers and exploit users (double troop bug users) last week, and we are in the process of granting rank points to players who lost against those.

I experienced another bout of cheating recently. I was about to make a decisive play and somehow towards the end of my turn my troops disappeared. Needless to say my opponent won, as my forces were mysteriously depleted.Now I was playing against a master and I find it curious that this happened just when i was about to defeat his forces. Something fishy is going on for sure!

I know, this cheating is total BS. I was just playing and a player had three countries in Africa, 1 army, 1 army, 10 armies I had attacked and won all but the ten when the game froze and reconnected me I WAS BACK WHERE I STARTED AND NOW THE THREE COUNTRIES HAd 15, 18 and 10 armies Total bull Sh*T!!! How is it possible for you to allow people to hack the app?! This is broken and a waste of money

I have 1 primary rule I live by when it comes to who I will play Risk with and who I will allow to join my hosted games:


*  It doesn't matter if I am hosting or joining someone else's game...if I see a Grandmaster in that game, He is booted out if I'm hosting.  However if I join someone else's game, I just simply get the heck out of it or don't confirm my play..  Don't care how legit or not he is.  Not going to waste my time on a game that has a better than average likelihood of cheating going on.  


*  I used to also give the boot to anyone at the 'Master' level as well, but am more tolerant of that level now since I changed my game strategy of only allowing 1 human person to join me and the rest are the A.I. so in that way, it would be impossible for them to play 2 different accounts in the same game.


I am currently

It would be so easy avoid cheaters  if one would be able to see geo location and ip address of his opponents.  When one human uses 2 characters they must have in common at least one of these these two  things.  Now every devices is GPS-able so should be very easy implement this feature. 


 

“ Renate Ironside 7 “ and “ Dan Abdiel Garcia de Leon “ are cheaters don’t play with them ... they need to add an option to block them from entering any future games you host at least
Cooperation
Fear of the walking dead hahahaahahahahaha :) the same granmasters also can make report button dissapear so i can not report him!!!!!
I was just hacked by Lexusgs35, critical point in game I just got set of cards and 125 troops in NA to single digits by Lexusgs35, then they sent like 2 message request in split second where I could not move then they froze the game a millisecond then magically gained 198 troops. Total BS and they need to be banned
