[Impossible to play without seeing a cheat](https://battlefieldforum.co/t/impossible-to-play-without-seeing-a-cheat/103902)

The 365 page thread on BF1 got basically one developer response, and that was when he closed the thread.

This is what the future holds.

Greetings,

This thread has been reviewed for relevant information related to concerns regarding cheating and hacking, amidst the hackusations, personal attacks between players, and more. The information has been shared with our anti-cheat team, as they continue to improve our detection and removal methods.

For more information on our continued work to improve fair gameplay, check [here](https://www.battlefield.com/news/article/anti-cheat-in-battlefield-1). Highlights from the blog are below:

> **State of Play: Removing Cheaters**
> 
> Over the past six months, we’ve steadily ramped up our anti-cheat efforts, working closely with the FairFight team to detect and remove more cheaters than ever before. In October alone, we sanctioned over 8,500 accounts. Since then, instances of cheating have declined. While we have made significant gains, we still can do more.

>
> **Improvements to FairFight In-game Messaging**
> 
> Battlefield 1 veterans may remember the global messaging that was sent every time FairFight had acted against a player. As we ramped up our efforts against cheaters, these messages became a distraction from other in-game discussions, and they were disabled a few months ago based on your feedback. However, our communication about this created some questions. Going forward, our communication will be more clear, transparent, and proactive.
> 
> Soon, you’ll see a new form of FairFight messaging. This will condense the combined bans from the last 24 hours into a single in-game post, sent every few hours.

Our teams will continue to work and improve our anti-cheat initiatives, and with [proper reporting](https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/faq/report-players-for-cheating-abuse-and-harassment/), we can identify and remove them.

Name & Shame threads will, as always, continue to be a violation of the forum rules, so report them properly (as noted above).

And, of course, we will continue to field any relevant feedback and constructive criticism, bugs, and suggestions to continue to improve fair gameplay in Battlefield 1.

Thanks.
