質問）
パブリッシュ24導入以降、私はラグに苦しめられている。今日は金曜に比べても特に酷かったよ、再起動した後でさえね。
更に付け加えれば、私が今日レッドネームの友人と会話した際に彼のギルドメンバーには未だにスピードハックを行っているプレイヤーもいてなんら問題なくスピードハックできてると聞かされたよ。確かに彼らは画面を次々と飛び回り、取り残された私たちはまるで流砂に膝まで浸かったように動き回る事しかできないよ。スピードハックを利用している他の知人に聞いてみたが、彼もスピードハックはなんら問題なく快適に動作していると言っていた。全てのサードパーティアプリケーションの監視を行っているという報告を信じたいが実際は嘘だと判っているよ。そんな話は聞き飽きてるし、未だにアカウントバンされたハッカーやソフト開発者なんて会ったことないしさ。彼らが何を使っているかを知ってしまうと、私はなんで馬鹿正直にプレイしているのだろうかと自問してしまう。どうか修正するかあるいは全てのプログラムを合法にするかして下さい。
Additionally, I was told by a red friend today that some of his guildmates are still using speedhacks and with greater success. Yea they still skip across the screen, but the rest of us are moving around like we're knee-deep in quicksand! I talked to another speedhacker I know of, and he ALSO confessed his speedhack program is working just fine. I'd like to believe the reports of "all are being monitored for 3rd party applications", but frankly I find it to be a lie. I've been hearing that too long and have yet to see one hacker or scripter banned. I'm beginning to ask myself why I've been so honest not to use the hacks and scripts when I know what they are using. Please fix them or make them legal for ALL!

Answer: The funny thing is that to a person using a speedhack program, it will appear to them that it's working, at least a little bit. That's because the client has a "sliding window" of movements that it shows happening before they actually happen. A speedhacker (on his client) will move very quickly at first as the sliding window fills up but then move alternating between choppy and smooth. To everyone else, you'll see the speedhacker running as fast as everyone else because the server is correcting his movement speed. To test out the fix we actually ran races (amongst other things) between speedhackers and non-speedhackers and not surprisingly the outcomes were tied for similar connection types and speeds.
The skipping issue is probably unrelated to speedhacking (but we think we know what's causing it). I was able to reproduce it somewhat with a non-speedhacking client. I'll talk to Fertbert about this as I'm going to be working more on the expansion.
