Ok, this is 3rd time in last 10 matches that i got a teammate who called enemy opening/strats and stuff, last two times when i asked they didn't said anything, this one confirmed it that he uses maphack. Irony is they stomped us, i mean he played terribly and then he called surrender. And that happened with the last one, maybe too caught up in looking what is happening in fog of war to play properly and react. I dont know but it was funny how easly he got pushed even with cheats, same story with last one.
So is there any other way to report them other than steam>report user for cheating>choose game? Nothing happened to last two of them, so i will open thread and ask here. I though this game was more or less hack free?

EDIT: I removed pictures, afaik it is forbidden to expose cheaters nickname?

As a side note, you've completely misunderstood what Olvadi was saying lol; it's also really easy to check if he's MHing or not because he's currently streaming.

When you asked 'maphack', he was replying yes and check doctrine because he was referring to radio intercept (sometimes jokingly referred to as a maphack), which was why he knew builds and could call them out. I don't know how you haven't encountered this before at your rank, so here's to hoping this is some kind of attempt at a bizarre joke? XD

As Aphyria said, it was probably Radio Intercept

On a side note, I really doubt there would be more than 1 cheater per 200 matches average in this, simply because of the extreme overabundance of 'legal maphacks'

I think maphack to remove fog of war is available for this game. And many times I wondered if the enemy has it but in the end they were always just lucky.

You should be able to tell if they have maphack or not from the replay. If you are not sure, feel free to upload it and someone will take a look.

people ironically refer to abilties in game as maphack, and cheating isn't very common in my (I think well informed) estimation

Ok, maybe i am wrong, i almost never play soviets, so dont know all the comanders. But does radio intercept says name of the unit enemy builds?

A little ticker pops up on the side of the screen every time the opponent builds an unit, and when you're facing OST you also get a slightly garbled voiceline (The same one the OST player gets when an unit is built, but with more static.)

You get the ticker when OKW builds an unit, but no voice lines, I'm afraid. Its an unresolved issue (I'm not sure if distorted OKW lines exist, I don't think it's a filter applied to the lines, they're actually separate sound files)
