Daybreak is cracking down on cheating, bad connections in H1Z1

The Cranberries realize now that they released a song too darn early.

In a letter to H1Z1: King of the Kill players Friday, Daybreak reminded players that third-party apps and programs that impact the game code to give players an advantage are strictly forbidden. “We have systems already in place to detect these hacks and have gotten to a place where these are really rare and infrequent,” says the studio. “We will continue to monitor and update as we need to in order to keep the environment as clean as possible for everyone playing. If you are caught using a hack, we will take action on your account, most times leading to an outright ban.”

Collusion, teaming, exploiting, and offensive chat are also off the table — in fact, Daybreak says it has “zero tolerance” for “demeaning chat that is racial or sexist in nature.” You’d think it’d go without saying, but you’d be wrong.

The studio is also working on a log-out timer to prevent log-out cheating, new regional servers, a new two-man skirmish mode, and penalties for those who have poor network connections:

“There is an escalating system of penalties applied based on the length of time you go with a poor connection. Level 1 simply locks your weapon. This is usually brief if you normally have a stable connection, could just be a minor interruption. Level 2 kicks in if you are continuing to play with a bad connection, and it will freeze your character in place and lock your weapon. Level 3 will get triggered if you ignore the previous warnings, and it is a combination of the previous two levels and then will also kick you out of a vehicle if you are currently driving one. Essentially this will make the player with a poor connection a sitting duck. If the situation is corrected, your character will be unlocked, and everyone can continue enjoy the match.”
