Microsoft Windows Hearts game cheats. Some ways I caught it or suspected cheating..... I get the Queen of Hearts the majority of the time On way to Shooting the Moon today, I had only one heart (Jack) and played it second to the last, no cards took it. I played my ten of spades. The player on right took it with a ten of spades. Once my ace was taken with a heart when I was the one playing the ace. I understand we can debug the game so we can cheat the game. So can we debug the game so it cannot cheat the human players?

Since MS Hearts is so predictable, I have a win rate of about 70%. I haven't seen reneges as mentioned by others, but the main way I see it cheat is in "knowing" your pass, too often getting the suit I pass. I will seldom get a low heart in a pass unless I pass to shoot the moon. Only then will I get 2 or 3 low hearts in the pass. How does it know whether I pass to shoot or not?

Ideas: Programs you are having problems with Error messages Recent changes you made to your computer What you have already tried to fix the problem Hearts program cheats! I've specifically caught the game cheating. Played Q Spades was taken by Ace of Spades (West) West had other lower Spades in hand then proceeded to play off other points or are you telling me the Computer took the highest point card in the game to stop the run. How did it determin this in the first 3 hands? I think this is how it will always be. I work in QA and there is not fixing anything that you can play or boot what is broke is broke and it will not be fixed even if you complain. There is no profit in fixing bugs.

Every time that you send to Microsoft that MSHearts cheats and you get a reply from Marilyn, this is Microsoft's way of brushing you off. Microsoft KNOWS that the games cheats; this is why this game is within a Microsoft product.

Hearts program cheats! I've specifically caught the game cheating. Passed Ace & King Spades to the right & they ended up across the table. I think this is BULL I would expect a program to play by the rules!
