How To Change Melee Hit Settings on Your Insurgency Server

Note:

Disabling this check ensures melee strikes feel much more responsive, particularly for players with higher ping. However, administrators should be aware that removing this server-side validation removes a layer of default anti-cheat, making it easier for malicious players to exploit melee attack ranges.

1. Log In to Your Panel

2. Stop Your Server

3. Select the ‘Files’ Tab

4. Open the ‘Game.ini’ file

Navigate to:

5. Edit the ‘Game.ini’ File

Variable	Technical Function
bCheckMeleeDamage	Hit Validation: When set to True (default), the server rigorously validates the distance and timing of all melee strikes to prevent range exploits. When set to False, the server stops this double-checking and trusts the client’s hit registration, which eliminates “ghost hits” but removes a layer of default anti-cheat protection.

6. Restart Your Server
