K, so I was just mass gaming on iccup for a while and boom I stumble upon this guy. So during the beginning of the game everything was going well, around 17:10'ish things start getting fishy. See when I massed my units and decided to eliminate the guy's containment, all of a sudden I lose control of all my units!!! I keep clicking and stuff but for some reason, the dragoons didn't move but only squirmed around the huge marble plateau and then my units stop doing anything when I click on them to do something. Its as if my entire army is being controlled by my opponent!! Then one by one my units automatically starts going to his containment, not the entire army but like one single unit at a time, of course I'm clicking like crazy but the units or any of my things don't even respond and they're circling around like crazy until all my units starts heading over him, it was really as if he suddenly was controlling my army. After I lost my army, I quickly check my keyboard and mouse to see if anything is wrong, nope everything is connected, my immediate conclusion is this guy is a hacker.

Here's the rep:

Could such hacks exist? To control your opponent's units???

If this guy was indeed a hacker he should have gotten tons of complaints by now lol.
I think it's just your keyboard/mouse?

I think it could be a hack, try complaining on the ICCUP forums and see how many people he did this to.

I hope this is a joke, clearly the massive clicking was causing a pathing bug by the units.

Well then why would, theoretically (spelled right?) would players with 400+ APM keep they're units or people holding down 5+keys to have high APM?

It all depends where you click. He clearly clicked on a spot that made his goons go tard ass wrong direction. Happens a lot if you dont pay attention? Mass spamming clicks randomly never helps if you dont actually control your shit properly. The only hack where you could control units was the old exploit made possible via Penguin Plug, no? Correct if wrong, but you prolly f'd it up yourself.

Do you have wireless keyboard / mouse?
Or it might simly been some lag on your computer, delaying your moves. This happened to me, so it seemed like I was loosing control of everything. But then after 15seconds, delay went away, and everything was normal. Tho my units suffered from my panic

That happened to my goons too today. I was wondering afterward whether placing an observer in my group of dragoons cause my goons to go crazy. It was pvp and I attack moved my goons, The goons just walked around and took damage.

I wonder if it's because of the maps//pathing that the units take on the maps.
I've never heard of or seen a kind of hack that lets you take control of the other players units.

PROBLEM SOLVED!
I just saw the rep. Its obviously no hack. It keeps saying "unit waypoint is full". maybe your shift button got stuck for a second, and you clicked goons to move around? that solves your problem. Even if you were trying to move them away, you couldnt because you were just adding another path for them.

Fits perfectly to the description.!

I was actually a bit concerned that this was some new hack, I'm laughing becouse I'm relieved ^^

One time I spilled water on my keyboard and the next day I was playing BW when suddenly all my keys went wonky. I tried to call the guy a hacker but it came out like "mawe afuajcn hmdpoq!!!!"

I notice that occasionally, I will try to attack move with a marine, clicking a bit fast, and instead of attack moving, he doesnt move at all. He just stands there. You can keep clicking and he wont respond. Eventually you haveselect another unit, then reselect the marine and right click. This has happened at least 7-10 times in the past.

Hehe nice. I had a lot situations like this when I accidently pushed some key with my arm (not feeling it while I was concentrated on the game) and I was out of control of my units.

This happens all the time with marines and dragoons. Just hit "Stop" then tell him to move again.
Edit:well it happens to me all the time at least

Maybe you accidently hit alt-shift?

It changes my keyboard from AZERTY to QWERTY, therefore all my "a moves" are just not responding.

Very annoying when it happens.

Well it happens to me like 2 times a day. I am really annoyed when I am not able to kill him when I have advantage just because of this gay bug. This bug occur on some specific action? Is there reason why this is happening? Cuz I want to prevent it.
