    Hello,

    i loosed my Streak after having a disco. I went on the Runnway an then there was the red beacon. I did not start and i did not recieve any hit by a con and no one killed me. So why is my streak cleared ??

    My score shows only Piterk as killer, who forced me to bail some days before.

    Tx for answers.

    As i remember its one of antycheat secure.
    example: if snoomone try to make alt-f4 and close game when somone sit on his 6. Host give shooter kill /if he ping him/ and end streak count kill for guy who push alt-f4
    Close wb is counted as disco, ended streak if any enemy in range
    With only disco possibly same like with alt-f4

    afaik alt+f4 ends streak even w/o any ping...
    It happened a time ago: I just went to runway, rolled and my keyboard got stucked (couldn't take the gear up)... so I alt+f4'd and lost my 2 kills streak :)p)

    Almost forget:

    My plane was also undamaged, no one con even saw around, i hit Alt+f4 3 mins after take off, our own territory some 10kft.
    Funny is - some player scored me. First i thought HOST doesnt disconnect my plane, and some shoot me well in straight fly.

    Now i suspice it could be counted for nearest con in air?

    Tx for the answers.

    So i learnd a new thing:

    "Never hit alt-F4 regardless you got pinged or not."

    I thought, that hitting alt-f4 would only affect the score, if you got pinged by a con.

    Maybe the admins can change that, because if i get red beacon, my frontend stucks and its the only way to get out of the game.

    no chance Flubby
    its antycheat and cannot be removed. Game not recognize your intention, alt-f4 its "emergrency" escape from the game
    try learn with that pls

    if you are in red beacon, your FE cant talk to server anyway, so server will not know you hit alt+f4. in other words, if you were in red beacon, np.

    @ramzey

    without being hit by a con it should not be a problem to leave the game with alt-f4.

    As i sayed, i was killed but no killer was named. So imho it should be possible to make changes, tha not affekt the "anti cheat"-feature :)

    @nicae

    shure you are right, but i think that accidently as i hit f4 the beacon seems not red anymore, otherwise i wouldn`t get killed.

    This should be changed imho.
