You can create a faked lag with a help of download, with a hacked timeseal and by manipulation your internal clock. Let’s have a closer look at these methods. You are in time trouble. 5 secs on the clock. The evaluation looks great though, but there is no time. Then lag-cheat! Make an excessive bandwidth by starting a download. People say that lag-cheaters mostly download porn, which is merely not true. You can download anything you wish, it has the same effect. If you decide to lag-cheat this way, you will need a small program running in the background that will have the buttons for starting and stopping the download. The more downloads you start, the greater the lag. You will look extremely suspicious if you try and lag-cheat during the whole game, maybe even caught by ComputerAbuse. So that’s why you need the control over the download process, with the possibility to stop the download. Basically, use lag-cheating this way only when you are in time trouble or if you are uncertain with some type of opening. Another way: hack the timeseal. Since timeseal isn’t open-source, you have to hack timeseal.exe which is not easy job at all. If you decide to go this way, you have to know that there should not be an equal fake lag during the whole game – it has to vary. I will show here a part of a post that a lag-cheater and comp-cheater submitted on a forum. Despite the fact that he maybe is not a so good cheater as he claims, and despite his grammar and spelling mistakes, he’s got the point here: First af all like several posters stated computerabuse analyses the movetimes. So how to fix that problem? A real proffessional cheater of course combines computer cheating and lag cheating so that the real movetimes get hidden by faked lag. Of course you need a good ping (40 ms is nice), so that lag can be added without generating too much suspect. You must install a firewall so that others can see you real ping. Now you just need a small program which addes different fake-lag during the different game stages, especialy when the computer takes suspecting long more fake-lag is needed to reduce this real-movetime. But attention: computerabuse is also there and messures lag variations to detect hacked timeseals. To avoid that computerabuse finds you, be sure that there is almost no coreolation between move-time and lag. Thats why you should never add exactly definated lag in different stages, you must add ranges. So if in a gamestage you want to reduce the movetime by 400ms, then set a range of 200 to 600 ms and use a random generator which picks any number out of this range. That makes sure that there is no detectable coreolation. If you are unwilling to begin the task of hacking timeseal.exe and you are unable to get some hacked timeseal from another user, there’s a hint: timeseal does not have an internal clock! Timeseal relies on your system clock. So you can simply (if that can be called simple) make a background process that will change your system clock for a very small amount of time in random periods of time. Follow the guidelines about randomizing these changes, and you can generate a faked lag that way too.
