SCUM players, heads up! The developers are about to activate their watchdog system on all official servers. This move aims to prevent players from circumventing ping limits using unscrupulous software, which should help maintain a fair and smooth gameplay experience. I gotta say, it sounds like a solid step to cut down on lag abuse and cheaters.
Watchdogs have been available for private server owners for a while and have also been tested on official servers. Now that the developers feel confident that the system works well, they are pushing it live across all official servers, providing better protection and more consistent matches for everyone.
But what if you want to play with your friends from far away without ping restrictions? Well, SCUM is adding more official global servers that won’t have any ping limits. These servers will let you jump in regardless of your location, which is pretty cool since sometimes ping can ruin the fun.
Here’s a list of the new global servers coming:
- Asia: SCUM Server Official Global #1 at 69.41.166.95:20098 and #2 at 69.41.166.95:20226
- Brazil: SCUM Server Official Global #1 at 213.156.149.233:20098 and #2 at 213.156.149.233:20226
- South Africa: SCUM Server Official Global #1 at 94.156.93.167:20098 and #2 at 94.156.93.167:20226
- US Central: SCUM Server Official Global #1 at 46.183.148.35:20098 and #2 at 46.183.148.35:20226
- Europe: SCUM Server Official Global #2 at 195.181.170.67:8834 and #3 at 195.181.170.67:8962
So yeah, if you’ve been frustrated by ping limits stopping you from teaming up with pals across the globe, these new servers might be your go-to. However, keep in mind that watchdogs will still be monitoring the other official servers to ensure fairness.
Got thoughts? Are you excited or worried about watchdogs going official?
