Lag Switches

Are they a thing?

Discuss.

[Banshee]

Yes. Lag-switches do exist and there are some people that use them on various games such as but not limited to: Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Battlefield, Player Unknown's Battleground, and Fortnite.

Yes they do exist and it gives the person using it an unfair advantage in first person shooter games. I remember back in the day alot of people would use them in Call of Duty and Battlefield games.

I always thought lag switches were just one of those scapegoats people blame when they go full potato in PvP

[VinegarStrokes]

I honestly don't think I've experienced them since I've played Call of Duty: Modern Warfare... At least until I played this (I only really play on DayZRP servers, occasionally I'll jump into a PvP one.), I don't think they are particularly prevalent, but I've had a few incidents that left me scratching my head, especially when I absolutely know there is no possible way that I could have gotten tagged by peaking.

Considering it only took me two minutes to locate forums regarding them, and downloads available dated in 2020, I definitely see this being a real thing. Consensus on these forums seems to show that location logs may reveal their use and get you banned on a server if investigated. So I'm gonna go with yes they are a thing.

No it is not a thing ghost bullets due to server lag is thought.

Lag switches are a thing. But I've never heard of them being used on DayZ. I encountered them on GTA V Online and CoD games. 

[Ducky]

Lag switches certainly do exist and have for a long time.

Now do they work on DayZRP? That's an entirely different question.

[Jpurts]

I Know a ton of people used them on modded Arma 3 Life to just waste entire teams of people, im pretty sure they are a thing on here.

Why... just handle it in the report mate or speak with a staff member

Report has nothing to do with me. Read it and was curious what a lag switch was.

Could have just googled or waited for the verdict.

the thread seems a bit unnecessary to me. If it was a daily thing in this community / this server you 'd probably see some more reports regarding it.

Lad clearly does, your in 503 the report is against the 503. 
 

Basically you trying to drum up a bit of drama around the report when you could of just done an ask staff or DM’d a dev or used goggle

This.

It's like asking "is cheating in games a thing?". Of course it is. Just a little less of an issue here on DayZRP.
