[Updated] Safegame Help
There is no cheat protection built into the Fraghub mutator by default. We do however want to do everything possible to stop cheating and have therefore chosen to use Safegame running alongside the Fraghub Mutator.
AntiTCC has been dropped for the simple reason that it offers virtually no worthwhile cheat protection since Wormbo discontinued development some months ago. There is no point in running a cheat protection mutator which fails to protect against cheating!
For ClanServer Admins previously having trouble with Safegame, please see the new helpfile for updated installation instructions and tweaks
For Players who might have experienced problems so far, there are some ‘known issues’ with safegame that we have tried to address in response to your feedback.
If you’re having problems, see if it's something we already know the answer to below
1) “I’ve been timed out during mapstart/checks”
The timeout value is now set to the maximum Safegame will allow (60 secs). If you still get timeouts, there’s nothing you can do except reconnect….If at all, it should now only happen on large maps on slower computers.
2) “I’ve been kicked with the message below..
3) “I’ve been kicked during skin checks or for an ‘Illegal File’ but I know I’m not cheating!!”
Don’t panic! Although Safegame is supposed to be compatible with the ECE and all other bonus packs, this release is still a beta so there may be some ‘unjustified’ kicks or you may have simply installed something safegame doesnt recognise. If you are kicked however, Safegame will tell you the reason why and identify the suspicious/offending file(s) for you. Simply delete the files or uninstall the Bonus Pack/Mutator etc they belong to and reconnect
4) “The Checks take too long at Startup and Lag my Computer!”
We’ve tweaked some of the checks Safegame makes which has made a small impact on the time checks take. We have also increased the map start time from 60 secs to 90 secs on Mapchange. This should allow most to be completely verified before the new map starts. There is hope that the final release of this version of Safegame will reduce the check times further but at the moment, there is nothing further we can do to reduce the time of checks.
5) "I've come off a server running Safegame 5e and been kicked by Safegame 6"
If you've been on a Safegame 5e server before joining a beta6 server, you will be kicked. To avoid this problem, clear your cache before joining the server to delete the downloaded 5e files.
Updated instructions on installation for server admins can be found here. Download links for Beta6 are at the bottom of the page.

2) “I’ve been kicked with the message below..
Safegame does not allow more than 1 copy of any file in your 2k4 folders. This includes the cache. OnslaughtBP is generating a lot of problems with this check because people download the ECE file from the server into their cache and then later, install the real ECE pack which creates another file in the System folder. Safegame detects 2 versions of the same file and kicks you. Often, clearing your cache will solve the problem, but if not you’re gonna have to search for the duplicate file and delete it
