Thanks for keeping everyone up to date and informed, Mepps! Things happen and I know you guys are doing what you can to fix the issue. Appreciate everything y'all do!
Theoretically it´s not possible,"Speedhackers" do nothing else as replacing the function which applys "Delay" with code that does nothing. This happens client side, within the memory of the running game. What basicly will happen is that packet information sent to the server will contain more hits, however the packet amount should stay the same. While it´s possible to crash other players client (overload method), the server would require packets sent from individual and multiple actors, that´s called DDOS attack. That´s basicly sending unnecessary amounts of packets to the server from different IP´s, these days meaning multiple different PC´s in a Bot-Network (random infected users around the world). Why that´s needed? If to many request coming from a single IP, the server blocks or won´t respond to it, or moving the request to another source if attacked (For example "Cloudflare"). Therefore the reason of the server crashed is likely within their code or hardware, or an event which caused the server to fall out of the "loop", which could be done by a Hacker but not Speedhackers. Even then it should only be zone specific (In game), based on how "the server" is setup.
