Does sv_cheat 1 affect stats?

[Chunk3ym4n]

I wanted to goof around with bots but I don't want to screw my stats up. Are stats recorded when sv_cheats is on?

[gReplay]

no

[zukriuchen]

No, as it turns off stats for the period cheats are on, from what I know. I may be wrong though.
It also turns off achievements.

As far as i know, you don't need it to be on to add bots.

There are 2 bot commands. "bot" for adding a bot that simply stands there without doing anything, and tf_bot_add to add a bot with AI.

tf_bot_add doesn't need cheats on, but I'm not sure about "bot"

"bot" needs cheats to be on.

"Bot" does, I used it to test some stuff out for a video I made awhile back.

I remember near when I first got the Direct Hit I was messing around with bots (with sv_cheats on) and it fucked up my soldier stats.

I currently hold a record of 70 kills as soldier and I'm nowhere near that good.

The same thing happened to me. I have a record of 82 kills with the Pyro, 54 with Heavy and 44 with Medic. It was when I was really new to the game, in an achievement server.
I've seen worse actually, my friend holds a record of 1057 kills as a Pyro.

It wouldn't happen if he created the servers and put cheats on.

edit: as explained on the post below

This was a glitch with the update that allowed stats and achievements to be tracked even when cheats were on. They fixed it in a patch shortly thereafter.

And by the way, if you ever want to fix your awry stats, then all you have to do is get [url="http://gib.me/sam/"]Steam Achievement Manager[/url] and use it to write down all your good stats (it can display all your stats). Then go in-game and hit the reset button. After that go back into SAM and re-input all the good stats you wanted to keep.

You have to do it this way because the way Valve's servers work, it only keeps the highest scores when recording stats. Thus, SAM can't lower any amounts, just add to them. The reset button is the only way to lower the scores.

Thanks man, I was really getting tired of looking at the stupid "78 points as soldier" thing on my loading screen.

Heh, there was about a three day period in TF2 history when stats were recorded when cheats was on. I was playing tr_walkway, getting some airshots, when I got an achievement. I didn't want to miss the opportunity, so I spent a couple hours and got Pyromancer. It was patched the next day.

It was the December 18 update that fixed it, if you don't believe me.
