Lag Switch Exploit Still Active After Recent Hotfix
New, NormalPublic

Description

Players are sill able to use a lag switch or similar network manipulation exploit to create severe server-wide lag. This exploit was supposed to be addressed in the most recent hotfix, but it is still actively being abused.

When used, it causes:

Massive desync and delay for all players on the server

Freezing, rubberbanding, and unresponsive actions

Unfair PvP advantages for the user

Overall degradation of server performance

Expected Result:
The hotfix should have resolved the issue, preventing any client-side network manipulation from impacting the entire server.

Actual Result:
The exploit still works. Players are using it to freeze others, especially during PvP situations, resulting in unfair outcomes and poor gameplay experience.

Impact:
This issue heavily disrupts gameplay, especially in PvP encounters. It creates an unfair environment and discourages legitimate players from engaging with the game. It also harms server health and community trust.
