Could sc2 possibly have a vulnerability? or was this a coinicidence?
I was just playing a game, as zerg and a terran tried to all in me with hellions marines and tanks, i stopped it fairly easily, and then i said to my opponent "was that supposed to be an all in?" and he said no , and i asked why he brought scv's then. ETither way it was a failed attack.
There was a bit of back and forth i didnt say anything too offensive. Then all of a sudden my units are acting funny and i cant select them, and they seem to be selecting and moving a bit by themselves, first i plug in my mouse thinking that mmight be the problem, when its not i try and type and as im typing my keyboard starts typing on its own so i cant even form sentances. About ten seconds after this happens my opponent goes "why arent you attacking..." and i manage to type out virus before i leave.
Then he sends me a message saying "thats what you get for talking back" "fag"
after i excited out of sc2 it ws still doing the same thing, although i could control my mouse it was clicking by itself and inputs were constantly being made on my keyboard. I restarted my compuuter and when it came back it seemed fine for about a minute or 2 before it started again. I managed to get to system restore eventually and set the restore date for 6 days back and it is in the process of restoring (im on my laptop)
Im pretty sure no one could do such a thing through sc2, does anyone know if this is even possible, by what he was saying it pretty much sounded like he was the one doing it. His name is jim raynor and i beleive i have played him once or twice before and we may have exchanged words then as well.
If there is a vulnerability allowing this in sc2 that is pretty scary, otherwise it could purely be coincidence, what do you guys think? Either way it was pretty annoying, I was going to win! llol
Replay: http://www.sc2replayed.com/replay-videos/11500
This thread can be shut down i think though if a mod desires, i think it was a coincidence, just a very awkwardly timed one =(
Edit: I just looked at his match history and it is highly unlikely that he is a hacker as he has about 10 consecutive losses in a row today ,and 2 losses after he played me even, in retrospect i probably should have checked something like this first unfortunately my computer was undergoing system restore when i wrote this on my laptop. So sorry for this premature post, mods please close when you get a chance.

yes u have a virus, or had a small stroke - but i dont get why u connect it to a game vs some allining terran.... just scan your computer with an antivirus
|
Yeah theres no point to describe it, just post a replay. Maybe you had a huge lag spike and your units were moving 5 seconds after you told them too.

was thinkin this too, that would at least give you some more credit. and just this sounds really.. sketchy, any proof you can give would help your cause.
i dont know a ton about what hackers can and cant do, but this seems pretty implausible, i very well could be wrong tho.

Yeah I would like to see a replay....

Ill post the replay, im honestly thinking it was just a coincidence though, i just wanted to get some community input to see if anyone else had an experience like this.
It just seemed like a very convenient time for a virus to start kicking in.
And i do have antivirus , maybe not the best one though im using microsoft security essentials it got a decent reviews and its free so i thought id check it out.

Well, by reading the replies from his opponent, it's understandable that he connected the virus to the game.
But yeah, a replay would be nice to see.

Sounds like a coincidence, I've had my computer freak out on me like that before. It wasn't a virus, not sure what it was but a reboot fixed it.
Also, Terrans can bring SCV's without being all in....... ;p

Very mysterious story indeed, but it just doesn't make much sense.
He send you a virus through Sc2 that causes your mouse and keyboard to randomly malfunction? I'm just not buying it.

man, this guy is ruing esports:D but this is yust way to sad, its only a game-,-

Ok, but how do we know this isn't the same guy posting on your account after seizing control of your system? You can not be trusted.
But yeah this sounds more like a bad drug reaction.

We must see the replay, we must!

Chances are he typed that line after he was winning because your computer had a malfunction.
Also chances are you're a troll.
An exploit of any kind is possible just very unlikely.

sounds unlikely.
could be some kind of hardware failure.
but yea replay
|
yea i wanna see this replay
|
The virus was getting to your brain
|
I can't imagine it actually being possible to transmit viruses through Starcraft 2... I just don't see any way it is possible.
Also I think you were in my division most of last season
