    Probably the wrong place but on twitch, I've been trying on and off for ages to play on it but can't seem to set it up.  I'm now stuck at the message: "could not initalise directX10".  Is this me doing something wrong or just my laptop?

    JFidanza is probably the one who can help you out. There's also a twitch set-up post w/ a link by Shoe somewhere here in the forums.

    I have my crappy laptop and I had the same issue so I just use 'XSplit BROADCASTER' not gamecaster, and use the 'add screen region', click on the corner of the WGT window, which should add the entire browser, but the adj. the settings to crop off the top and bottom etc. and it works.

    so 3 rounds were twitched in the end, with one showing a cheat engine link on their desktop.

    all 3 got paid out in the end - even the guy with the cheat engine.

    so what kind of evidence do we need to show wgt that ppl are cheating? if a screen shot of someones desktop shows it, and they still get paid out, what else are we supposed to do?

    congrats to the winners tho, just a shame the event was pretty much a balls up the way it was organised.

    2 thumbs down for wgt's responses to these.

    Agree there Tom...pretty evident on one players score, vs history...and the two legit players...Props to Mags and Jo...bilge pump residue to the third [erson...and that person still has an account here...sweet.

     

    Wouldn't matter anyway...will restart if he/she hasn't already...wonder if stupidness will follow and be "XXXXXX-2"

     

    Lol

     

    WGT, get a grip here...

     

    Maybe WGT is just banking on new players and will let this type of thing continue, and some of the seasoned players just drop this game like a bad habit?

    Sure seems like they want people to stop playing this game.

    Can't believe Javie... account is open ????

    I so wanted to say that. But, I didn't want to press my luck after my previous rant. 

    Now that you mention it, anybody else having meter issues today?   ; )

    Simple fact is - you'll never know if he had it running while playing unless he comes in here and says so. I don't see it as an open resource running anywhere.

    I have no idea who he is, but simply having Cheat Engine installed on your computer isn't proof of anything other than having it installed. It's used to 'break into' Flash games and applications.

    There are other programs that do the same thing, running on PC and OSX, it's not the only one, and they are tools, the toolset is something used to debug assets which are supposed to be locked down and secure. 

    If he knows how, and again, unless anyone has seen him use it? He may have no clue what he's doing, but if he does know what he's doing with it - Running 'Daddy's' calc tool would be kinda moot as he wouldn't need it.

    There isn't any way to prevent CE from being used against the client, the only thing WGT can do, and they most certainly can do it, is make sure assets are locked down. One's that affect shooting / scoring ability anyway.

    As a side note - Ban this player for having it installed on his computer? WGT better make sure they apply that fairly and equally among the rest of known player's here who've 'installed' it in the past. 

    Given that's it's now obvious 'top' players have it installed, and you'd have to be pretty friggin' naive to think he's the only one 'playing around' with it. WGT really should implement a zero tolerance policy that if you're caught with it you're done.

    We all know WGT has zero integrity where these matters are concerned so I certainly don't expect them to do it on their own.

    In saying that, promoting a fair and openly competitive 'gaming' environment where players are 'encouraged' to spend real world money to updgrade equipment if they want any hope of competing in tournaments etc and allowing players who are known to have software installed that does indeed alter the game playing isn't acceptable. 

    The proof is there, it's been posted here before and now again. WGT operates this game and website absolutely haphazardly with no clear cut rules, the rules are applied with prejudice and in no definable manner at all. Basically they do what they want, and that's fine until you start taking people's money in what clearly falls under the defintion of false and misleading promotion and marketing. 

    Oops….
