Hello DevForum,
I am the developer for a game called Club Iris (Club Iris - Roblox), and recently crashing has been occurring non-stop periodically. The user in question is crashing my game with exploits over and over again as a means to get him and his friends unbanned.
I’ve went through and checked for any backdoors, malicious scripts, or any flaws in my scripts’ security and have found nothing. Also, upon analyzing my plugins I’ve found nothing suspicious among their sources. Tools seem to have no contributing factor as the crashing persisted even after removing all tools.
As an attempt to narrow down the issues. I disabled elements of my game in increments to determine the root cause, to no avail. Finally, I went and disabled every single script and the crashing still occurred. Leading me to believe this might be a bigger issue/engine bug?
Moreover, it seems as though the user has the ability to instantly cripple all of my game’s servers instantaneously. As a test, I was the first to join a server and with just me in it, and the server crashed. I checked if anyone else joined and nothing showed up.
Before anyone mentions it, I have indeed taken a look at the developer console and nothing out of the ordinary appears before and after crashing, no ping spikes, no script activity spikes, and no network activity spikes. It just crashes out of nowhere and I can’t find a way to detect a source.
This user is taking my game for ransom and refuses to cooperate and stop this unless him and his friends are unbanned from my game. I’ve done everything in my power to stop this, after contacting other professionals and getting feedback and advice I’ve gotten nowhere and pointers in the wrong direction.
I’ve received reports of the same exact circumstance happening to another club game similar to ours yet neither clubs share any of the same scripts, there must be something I’m missing here?
Urgent assistance and guidance would be much appreciated,
Radiakk
