Players hack to my password secured game ANSWERED

[Elrond]

There is a break in to my password secured games in AoF by players.
1) Game name: 6hr scaled challenge hacked by Bobbytwoshoes.
2) Game name: Scaled challenge reward 1 hacked by Legend.

They come to play my game without my consent.

Might be due to the games becoming open.

Yeah, I don't see the two doing that at all.

Bet no one would do that to begin with unless you share the game pass to chat.

That is a system error since the both game I had set with password. Intended for invited player to take the challenge. The password still not released yet. Now been trespassed. I strongly request to game developer to look into this security issue.

Probably because those games were opened for more than 48 hours. If a password-protected game has been released and is still on the multiplayer game-list for 48 Hours, it will automatically be set to OPENED. Which will be free for all players to join.

And don't be quick to assume that players "Hacked". There is a warning when creating a password protected game that in 48 hours, if no one joins the game, it will be automatically set to OPENED.

This is very true.

Elrond: please confirm this was the case - so you opened the game eariler.
if so than there is no hack of bug.

Please do put a timer onto soon expired game hence we able to inform the intended player to take the game

sorry i dont feel it nesessary.
when u make the game inform the other players so they can join in time.

i think he meant that other player joined before game became open.

Yeah that is I meant when I am not aware of 48hr timer for game become open to public. Now my request is to give game expiry timer (24hr countdown timer)to the password secured game with an email alert. Hence the owner of the game can ask other friends to accept the game.
