/archive/crates/plugins/ · last edited 24 Apr 2018 · Billing
On February 10th, a report was received from a player indicating that the anti-cheat plugin was not functioning properly, allowing for the use of scripts and mods. Upon investigation, it was discovered that a recent update had introduced a compatibility issue with the plugin, which had caused it to become unstable.
The problem was traced to a change in the plugin's configuration settings, which had been made in an attempt to improve performance. However, this change had inadvertently introduced a bug that prevented the plugin from communicating effectively with the server. The team worked quickly to identify the cause and implement a patch to resolve the issue.
The patch was deployed during a scheduled maintenance window, which minimized the impact on players. After the update, the anti-cheat plugin was found to be functioning correctly once again, and the server's security was restored. The team also reviewed the plugin's configuration settings to ensure that they were set to a safe default, to prevent similar issues in the future.
