Attention Survivors!

We wanted to let everyone know that we are continuing to take the offensive on cheaters within Rules of Survival! It will not be tolerated. Beyond banning, we are further testing out new methods to prevent and identify cheaters/illegal gameplay before it harms your experience.

Over the past week we have found hackers to be using a modified NPK file to allow them to take unfair advantages within Rules of Survival. (This includes no-recoil, high scope, faster parachute, etc.)

The following adjustments to our anti-cheating systems have been made to compensate.

-We have reinforced the protections in place around the NPK file to prevent a modified version from being used. If it is modified in anyway, an internal mechanism will activate to identify the illegal file and player.

-We are starting to test an AI Image Recognition System to automatically identify cheating by analyzing the imagery of players' gameplay. This is still in the early stages but hope it will further protect the fair experience we wish to give to all players.


We also wish to thank the community for all their support during this time and let players know how they can help us stop cheaters.

-Players may Report Users* In-game, through our Official Discord Server, or on our Forums for Cheating/Hacking at:
https://rulesofsurvival.16163.com/thread-5167-1-1.html

*You May Also Report websites/organizations that advertise cheats through the above link.

-Players may Appeal Bans (If they believe they have been wrongly accused) at:

3. Weapons Modification


- Firearm modification: ACR damage has been reduced; AR15 damage has been slightly increased and recoil slightly decreased; PP19 damage has been slightly increased and magazine capacity has been increased; Vector magazine capacity has been increased;
- The game mechanics of the g-launcher has been modified. When a projectile is fired from the g-launcher and hits its target, its explosion will be delayed for three seconds (previously there was no delay). During this time the end of the arrow will flash. If a moving target is hit, the arrow and projectile will follow the object.

4. Experience Optimization


- The dynamic effect of the Area Lock option of Lock sprint has been improved. Every time the player drags the thumbstick to the designated area, the dynamic effect will disappear after a while;
- New control setting options added. Players can choose the basic control settings in Classic Mode and Assist Mode. Choosing Assist Mode will enable the following settings, Auto open and Auto pick up; Lock sprint's default setting is Area lock and steering is Steering mode. Players can change the settings of these two modes, but switching modes will change the player's existing control settings;
- The auto open door function has been improved. Now, doors open depending on whether or not the player is facing the door. Doors will only open automatically when the player is facing the door;
- Name Change card modification. The time during which players cannot change names after using a name change card has been reduced from 7 days to 1 day;
- Patch checking time that occurs when the game starts is reduced after update.

5. Optimized UI


- Increased degree of customization on the battle interface. Added functions allowing the customization of the size, placement and transparency of the minimap, firearms, ride, etc, buttons;
- The position of the area for Area Lock (lock sprint) is customizable. Players can modify its position in settings;
- Daily limited training points have been moved to the Daily Special Offers interface in Events to make it easier for players to buy training points;
- The background of the login interface has been changed to the dynamic Anniversary Celebration background.

6. Bug Fixes


- Fixed an issue on the Fearless Fiord map where no Celebrations dropped;
- Fixed an issue where there is a small chance, on some servers, of not being able to receive diamonds in Diamond Mode.
- Fixed an issue where the countdown for the Halloween event on some players' client is incorrect;
- Fixed an issue regarding the abnormal display of some player's points.

Survivor News #33, November 5th | Anti-Cheaters Update

Attention Survivors!



We wanted to let everyone know that we are continuing to take the offensive on cheaters within Rules of Survival! It will not be tolerated. Beyond banning, we are further testing out new methods to prevent and identify cheaters/illegal gameplay before it harms your experience.

Over the past week we have found hackers to be using a modified NPK file to allow them to take unfair advantages within Rules of Survival. (This includes no-recoil, high scope, faster parachute, etc.)


The following adjustments to our anti-cheating systems have been made to compensate.

-We have reinforced the protections in place around the NPK file to prevent a modified version from being used. If it is modified in anyway, an internal mechanism will activate to identify the illegal file and player.

-We are starting to test an AI Image Recognition System to automatically identify cheating by analyzing the imagery of players' gameplay. This is still in the early stages but hope it will further protect the fair experience we wish to give to all players.


We also wish to thank the community for all their support during this time and let players know how they can help us stop cheaters.

-Players may Report Users* In-game, through our Official Discord Server, or on our Forums for Cheating/Hacking at:
https://rulesofsurvival.16163.com/thread-5167-1-1.html

*You May Also Report websites/organizations that advertise cheats through the above link.

-Players may Appeal Bans (If they believe they have been wrongly accused) at:
