I took to Twitter again last night and this was the reply I got......and my responses. I'll keep you posted if they say anything else.
EA/Respawn/Whom it may concern:
We've found a workaround that allows full match play. It requires (at this time) timing and coordination between 4, 6+6, or 8+8 players.
I suspect I know how the crasher works as I'm somewhat familiar with source engine modding, but I'd need logs to verify exactly what's occurring.
Ideally TF1 would be open sourced and/or release dedicated server binaries/installers/containers/whatever so we can run our our dedicated servers with anticheat/adminmod/metamod anti cheat protections. I'd gladly run a couple from my basement where I already run L4D2 and CS:GO dedicated servers.
EA/Respawn/whoever has control over these servers - Please contact me directly for the details - here's our proof of concept we ran yesterday:

It's been awhile since my turbo gun game dev days (I was working on a much faster version that was straight mod and didn't use mattie's scripts (instant gun transition, etc).. but...
If I remember correctly, this is where you'd need to look:
https://github.com/ValveSoftware/source-sdk-2013/blob/master/mp/src/game/server/player.cpp#L7500
The crasher is using an illegal player name - I've verified this by intentionally loading lobbies with many spaces open and waiting. very long name of what looks like unprintable characters.
This would not take a dev familiar with TF1 very long to fix. You'd save yourself a huge publicity nightmare and make a lot of people very happy.
Thanks in advance for your help,

Thank you for your efforts, Frosty. But EA has no interest in fixing the server. Your suggestions and good advice are so much appreciated that they will at most remove your comment from the topic. And for a week or two, or even a month, they will be banned from the forum. Unfortunately, this is a common practice among helpdesk users. They will not repair TF1 themselves. We have been trying to help EA for over a year. Thanks, everyone was silenced in their own forums. These are sad facts and unfortunately true. Any thread about the TF1 hacker verifies that the topic has not been deleted or locked. Unfortunately, your efforts are in vain. We have a saying to this. From a dog, there will never be bacon! Please accept my thanks on behalf of the TF1 community, but unfortunately it won't work.

I got a 60-day and didn't miss a thing... that's how pathetic this is...
- 7 years ago@RUFFSTUFF138 So they actually ban people here for speaking out? Rather than that cheater for over a year?
- RUFFSTUFF1387 years agoSeasoned Rookie
Yeah, they especially have a hard spot when you remind the admins that they are not doing anything that benefits the people who paid for the game. The irony of getting banned from the forum for the game that is 100% unplayable is not lost on me...
Verifiable proof has been posted here and subsequently deleted by the admins. That includes videos and links. Just look through the threads and see for yourself...

Yeah, they have banned me more than once for speaking up and posting what happens in game online. I don't get how they call themselves 'Support' ?
