‘Set a password’: Enshrouded devs scramble to solve item-stealing exploit ruining servers

Eager Video games has warned Enshrouded gamers to safe their worlds this week as they start working to stamp out a brand new stock bug that has been letting thieves and trolls work together with buildings and steal objects from different gamers’ servers.

The Enshrouded devs instructed gamers to ensure their peer-to-peer or devoted servers had a password set in a Feb. 2 message within the title’s official Discord server, as first reported by GINX. “Be conscious of who you’re inviting to your server,” the general public service warning learn, with the devs including they’ve “top-priority” plans to implement server-wide rights for admins for mechanics like interacting with constructed buildings and entry to chests.

The February warning got here in response to an odd new bug the place gamers can acquire entry to a different participant’s server, take objects from chests or close by areas, after which go away. The stock is saved between situations in Enshrouded, that means these thieves can then return to their very own servers with a list stuffed with stolen items. There’s nothing like spending a session increase your base and filling it to the brim with assets solely to go online later and discover your private home ransacked and your coffers empty.

In even worse circumstances, nefarious Enshrouded gamers will enter servers, discover the house base of the proprietor, and destroy it with using explosive barrels. I can’t wait to go online tomorrow to search out my house is now a crater within the floor and I’ll have to start out yet again.

Eager Video games hasn’t given a timeframe but for after we can count on these new server admin permissions to roll out, nor have they mentioned once they’ll repair the stock bug permitting you to hop servers with a saved stock. Because it’s an early-access recreation, exploits like this may be anticipated, so right here’s hoping they’re mounted pronto.
