New form of Cheating

I just faced 2 survivors with the exact same profile name while i was playing HB on Safety Woods, i hooked and killed them more than 3 times, u are probably asking how is that even possible? I noticed that every time that one of them were hooked they suicide on the hook, some seconds later when i was after someone else, their lifebar appears on the hook again and one of the hackers gets rescued by the other. In the end i mannaged to kill the other 2 legit players and hook the cheaters before they have time to "revive".

In the end game chat i got called cheater for wallhacks (BBQ) and 360 chainsaw (LOL), yeah seems like that anyone that beats a cheater must be one too right...

PRETTY GOOD JOB SO FAR. Was a good match tho, rekting hackers with SKILLFUL gameplay feels so good man!

    I would love to see a recording of that because that just boggles my mind. How would the game even allow that!?!?

    Yeah i didnt beleave when i first saw it, but i found it too odd to see the "sacrifed" appearing on my screen then having 4 survivors running around the map, then i started to pay more attention after hooking them and noticed their hacks.

    I noticed that yesterday on one of my matches. There were two guys with the same name on my lobby and when I hooked one of them for the first time, it was all good. On the second hook, the hud showed me that they where sacrificed but in fact they where going through the struggling phase. I don't think it's a hack, I didn't notice any speedhack or any sort of cheat while playing against them. I managed to kill them both without any issues, but that might be my case in particular. I think that the game's code or in this case the hud gets glitched when two people uses the same name.

    The problem is that when there was only the 2 hackers alive, i hooked one and saw the complete sacrife animation when it suicided on the hook, when i was about to hook the other one, the first guy appeared on the hook and tried to free himself, also this so called "bug" only happened with those 2 extremely suspicious survivors.

    That would be a new one to me. I've reviewed thousands of cheating reports and never seen anything like that. Still, if you do manage to record it (if it happens again), I would be happy to take a look at it.

    Its extremely rare for me to face a cheater, i've played for more than 1600h and found only 1 or 2 hackers during that time, i can only remember of a speed hacker Bill a long time ago, which is pretty good for the game :) .

    It's not a hack, lmfao.

    It's a visual bug when two players have the same name - it'll show them at full health always regardless off the stage they're in when on the hook.

    I can confirm this, it's not a cheat. I have had this happen to me some months ago. The game can't handle when two people have the exact same name (and/or look exactly the same) - their statues completely bug out and the bars don't go down/move or are even reversed. But they can still be sacrificed.

    Pretty good job so far!

    Yeah the problem is that i when there was only those 2 guys alive, i killed one (saw the sacrifice animation), when i was about to hook the last one, the first guy appeared on another hook and tried to free himself, as he failed, both died and i saw the delayed animation for both.
