  1. EDIT: DEVS PLEASE REMOVE ASAP THE ADMIN FISH-AXE.

    Some of us are starting to experience mad issues with hackers, that simply change their game files to cheat the whole thing. From crashing the server to destroy the WHOLE planet that can even Damage your PC Hardware.

    This is what one did simply changing one item files of a pickaxe to make it dig a HUGE BUNCH of a planet in a row:[​IMG]

    The whole spawn is a layer of lava now.
    This also caused blue-screen to a player who was playing there and it's unable to start its PC now, i also noticed the FPS down to 1 could not even move.

    Advice for server owners:
    DO NOT BE PUBLIC, put passwords, make stuff private, whatever you need, if this spreads we'll be on big trouble. :notworthy:

    Ofc, what would a game like this be without the stupid hackers that get a sick pleasure from ruining servers.....So many terraria/minecraft servers ruined this way. It's sad when most public minecraft servers ban the fun stuff like dynamite and fire because of this.

  3. You give them too much credits calling them hackers, they are much script kiddies.

    This is why I always backup my saves and universe before I open my server or join another server! (cause other people in your party can beam to your ship and do ANYTHING they want, except pilot it. That includes taking items and destroying blocks)

  5. The worse part of this... Is that it DAMAGED PC HARDWARE of players inside when this did happen, it's more serious than a simply backup file, i'm tyring to help the player but with a bluescreen and unable to start PC it must have been one hardware failure.

  7. I'm unsure, he says he was in the area, the guy used the pickaxe, then the whole thing started to fell down, with all us it all stop responding, game, pc, etc... But with him after 30 seconds laptop screen got black and blue-screen. Right now PC doesn't start, when to enter the Windows loading it restarts again.

    If it comes at the loading screen the hardware is probably not fried :) More of a windows problem. Tell him to put in a windows repair cd and click on repair :p

    If there are any storage devices in the computer, remove them. I've had that issue caused by that before.
    If there are no storage devices, sorry, but I can't help you

    Your friend's PC is bluescreening on loading windows most likely. There is a way to turn off auto-restart on bluescreen, I'd suggest googling it but IIRC - you press F8 a lot while your PC is booting and you should get a series of options, one of them is to turn off auto-reboot on bluescreen. Also safe mode if you want to try that.

    Then at least you should get your bluescreen error message to work from.

  12. He said he repaired with the win7 cd and it's working fine again! uff, not sure what did happen but when the guy did that on our server we all (one the area) got our PCs on death-mode. :cautious:

    Expected this kinda stuff to happen already, the game is fairly hackable, you should only run private servers. There is no way to moderate the game or control anything at the moment and I suspect it will be like that until they do the release.
     
  14. Yup, the firewall doesn't help if he changes. I saw he's using the Fish Axe, some DEV forgot to remove it. :(

    Simple. Computer lagged huge-time because of Starbound using too much resources, windows came unstable : blue screen
    Windows may have corrupted one of its file or its registry and thus was unable to restart.

    This is not an issue from Starbound nor from modifying files, but rather from hardware that can't handle too much stress.

    ...You can't damage PC hardware with a FPS overload unless the computer is being cooled by a glass of sweet tea with a lemon in it.

    It's just not possible. It just sounds like they suffered a crash from their cpu memory being clogged by the massive tile loss.

    It's fucking horrifying when you realize that these are the people directly responsible for what gets changed in the game

    A beta is an easy target for that kind of attack.

    I don't remember but I am hungry now...

    :rofl:
    And it is probably not a good thread for that but I would like to test to go in a server...
    if someone would like to take me, send me a PM :p

    I want a pc cooled this way. When it eventually overheats, I have a nice glass of tea to calm my nerves.

    Glad your friend got the pc sorted, you should always have a password and keep the server private regardless of the game. This is the Internet, people aren't nice here.
