Dunno if it has been released since not a long time but today i met a terran mineral hacker on an europe public's game.

Hope it won't spread out everywhere t_t

i've reported a few of them (emails to hacks@blizzard.com) but i don't know if blizzard actually does anything, they don't ask for replays or stuff like that so =( just have to wait for the next patch i guess

It was obvious that some hax will come sooner than most of us thought it would.

A friend showed me a rep with comsat hack before 1.13f
This Hack existed befor 1.13f but wasn't known by the community, so it had not been patched...
When Blizzard make a new patch, they remove known exploit, but sometimes previous version hacks that weren't known still work.

actually the more exposure this gets, the better. As someone mentioned, blizzard doesnt give a damn about small unknown exploits that only affect a minority of the population. It's the big one's which get out of hand and bring the game to a grinding halt. So by all means, let everyone know, get everyone using it, and force blizzard into fixing it.

i think an academy is required for it to work (comsat...). so these terrans are usually very vulnerable to a rush if you suspect them. look for a newly created obviously randomly named account with odd winning ratios, them picking terran and then going straight for academy after barracks <= not too common otherwise

it happens in public games all the time

you can tell if anyone's hacking by looking at the replay, on the apm chart if they are hacking you see the apm rise up to 1000 in short bursts

I've played 3 mineral hackers in the passed 30 games, this shit is already out of control. I think it's only for terrans too, where they cancel their comsat an infinite amount of times to get the resources from canceling.
