I recon you are playing BF1 which I don’t (tried it and uninstalled it). Theres a lot of games already using Fairfight that posts lists of banned players in specific games like https://ffbans.org/ amongst others.
On known cheatsites the complaints are going on that FF is more agressive in BF1 and they get banned really quick, which must mean that FF does work at some point, and that the cheaters are still trying.
(one of the complainers posts that he gots more than 2300 hours ingame bf3,bf4 and bf1 before he recieved a temp ban by FF).
I agree on the witchhunting though, but making a list from FF or similar public wouldnt be a witchhunt, that would be the fact that that specific guy got busted.
Im in no way inclined to think ANY of your friends is cheating but again, you never really know whos doing it because those not getting caught is playing it to the thin red line and never go beyond that.
It quiet literally is an exercise in futility, I’ve reported people multiple times for nothing to happen. And apparently if we want something to happen we have to give up our play time and do their job for them by spectating and sending them the video. Pathetic, they deserve death along with the pansy cheaters.
It’s the end of 2019 now. Still, the cheaters are wandering around Asian Server which is Ironically where I’m playing. It’s such a bad Experience for me, even in Battlefield 1
let’s assume that DICE is successful in making a competitive mode, like BFV Incursions or something, or the Royale mode gets really big. Do you think they will just continue with FF on its own? i don’t. Or if they did, any competitive mode would die off quick. look at other games, they have all added supplementary anti cheat measures, still get cheaters ofc but at least they are trying and communicating about it?
I’ve never had a problem with PB. It was effective because it could catch client side cheats which FF doesn’t do. The cheat shops and their customers always run a campaign on forums to discredit PB because it puts them at risk.
I’ve never cheated so I don’t know anything about that and I don’t anything about programming so I have no idea about that either. But I’ve spent an enormous amount of time playing games and PB was the only effective anti-cheat I have ever known. If you know a game that had really effective anti-cheat then let us know. For example R6 Siege is having enormous problems with cheating and it uses BattleEye.
Same here but PB was public relations disaster and FairFight isn’t. I would say PB is far better when it’s allowed to do it’s job but it draws constant negativity.
Again, we are back to gaining an unfair advantage, its not unfair to code button 14 on your mouse to drop ammo and if youre french, button 2 to wave the white flag
@LOLGotYerTags Well I never understood how DICE devs can have their noses in the sky while they have their head up their [profanity].
No one is asking them to tell us how and when, but to communicate and perhaps even cooperate with the community, instead the “closes holes by patching” so we as serverholders cant run the plugins we would like to on servers we pay to rent.
A lot of things could have been set straight on different subjects regarding to anticheat if there had been a communication between the community, 3. party AC and DICE.
In these latest cases I wont blame any of the existing 3.party AC’s - they have been forthcoming telling about different issues and problems. It would be nice to see DICE doing the same.
sorry to burst that bubble, it IS possible to transfer a game from one to another. For obvious reasons I wont share how here in public. I wasnt asking DICE to “spill it all out” but to be more cooperative & communicative towards both players as well as 3. party AC. That doesnt include their deepest secrets about AC.They could tell us about server settings coming up - and or if tvey got a new AC coming up, that wouldnt give the cheaters much to go on but would be an refreshing newsbulletin towards the community as a whole.
I went around looking for that claim. Couldn’t find it. But I understand why you wouldn’t want to post it here since it violates TOS.
For people that think FF is bad, I would like dice just to turn it off for one day and see how its like. It will be worse than BF3/4. I 'm sure of that.
I don’t think anything needs to be communicated to us about cheat measures. The ones who do communicate such things, tend to have a cheat problem. PUBG, R6, etc because they see the numbers and how it reflects.
Could they be more open about measures? Sure. Are they going to? No. Do they need to? No. There’s not a cheating epidemic in Battlefield 1. There are cheaters, and in some waves, more cheaters than not, but there’s no cheating epidemic to the point EA needs to come out and make a statement about cheating.
I was in a lobby with someone that was cheating. I left quietly, went to spectate him and saw he had an aimbot. He knew I was spectating because he went prone and seemed like he was finagling with some settings aka toggling off.
I find it quite amusing that apparently DICE is using anticheat based on/around statistics because it explains a whole heck of a lot with regards to the general attitude and direction these games have gone.
They’ve attempted to automate it, to make a system where you do not need to have/do not need as many people auditing claims, cases, or reports of people cheating, rather something that is more automated.
This attempt at “automation” via statistics has also been used (or theorized being used) when Balancing Weapons/Gadgets. (this theory/method Explains some of the odd balance-issues found with various BF4 weapons, and the choice to limit configurations of guns in BF1, or at least the deeper reasoning behind it).
This Reliance (some might say over-reliance) on statistics might very well explain the increasingly limited/restrictive server-options starting with either BF:BC:2 or BF:3 (depending on how one counts BC2) better than almost any other explanation. To me though the
disagree, BF1 in early 2017 was infested with them, I could post stuff about it but will just get sanctioned, I stopped playing until recently - they’ve all moved on to other games- they’ll be back for BFV launch, no doubt
