Default Re: ... could be caused by cheating

I have gotten the message once on llamaserver and I perfectly well know I wasn't cheating. A rollback was involved and that was several versions ago.

I have a feeling I had a hair more money (~100) than I was supposed to but I didn't have the old files around to calculate exactly how much I should have had.

Bear in mind that rollbacks are not actually part of the product, they're performed by users hacking a workaround for something. From a purely theoretical standpoint they are actually an exploit, they're just not a malicious one.

To clarify, unless the users are doing something to the game that is not included in the code of the game itself (which would include rollbacks, mods and similar user-created features in addition to malicious activity) the chances of the cheat detection throwing out a false positive should be virtually nil for any well designed game, which this one clearly is.
