VPN connections are easily identified by an admin worth his weight, and connections dropped. (amazon and netflix do it) If people NEED a VPN to play online, they are breaking laws in their home countries. So - I can’t speak for outside of the United States - but I use a VPN as part of my home network security. I also use it because, during the day, I work from home. It’s not illegal, I’m not doing anything nefarious - I’m protecting myself. The very idea of banning VPNs is unrealistic and silly. ---

They don’t even care about it. Since beta BFV was full of cheats. Guess what changed. Nothing. ---

Asian servers are literally unplayable.. every damn game has some pos cheating and they don’t even care that people know they are cheating because guess what? your anti cheat is clearly not working. I mean c’mon you devs aren’t stupid, you know this is happening but why are you allowing it to happen. By doing this you’re only punishing the honest players who just want to kick back and have some fun. After working my off with this darn pandemic going on, I was looking forward to having a nice Sunday to enjoy some BF V but nah… I’m greeted by this pos, doesn’t even bother hiding the fact that he’s cheating, was making snarky comments throughout the game since he thinks he was outsmarting everyone else by cheating and getting ahead. [https://battlefieldtracker.com/bfv/profile/origin/maomao803/gamereports](https://battlefieldtracker.com/bfv/profile/origin/maomao803/gamereports) check out the k/d in almost every single one of the games he’s played, it’s ridiculous. It’s just heartbreaking to see a game I love turn into this. why is the dev team so complaisant about this issue? I mean is it cause you’ve already made your money, or is it cause on the rare occasion that they get banned they’d just end up buying another cd key and keep playing, which means more revenue right? ---

People have said everything that needs to be said. Cheaters are prelevant and whoever tells me they are actually working on preventing cheating is either lazy, incomptent or lieing. I just uninstalled the game after giving it 100 hours. Im said to see such a big tittle down in the dirt. Regards ---

But go ahead, keep playing and it only shows them everything is ok. Crimeny, how many pages here and on reddit? How many comments from Dice/EA that they are working on anti cheat? Not many right? Now go ahead and stop playing and don’t give them the satisfaction of your preorder for the next game until you see proof of them doing something about cheaters. ---

Are you kidding? ```auto I didn't use the "quote" function to reply to a previous comment. Sorry. You probably missed it. 1-Entering a game where cheats are legal ????? -It was in response to those who proposed to introduce the use of pre-loaded cheats in the game. 2-The self-esteem of myself would say to throw myself in a ravine before unloading cheat! -Personal comment..... 3-Playing WITHOUT cheats is a matter of pride and honor for me. -Enter a game and try to help the team, with tactics, strategy, and team logic, it's pride for me. Having good players in front of you, good in tactics, strategy and team spirit, and of course being able to beat them, is an honor to meet them. 4-Various articles of psychologists, reported on important newspapers that have dealt with the problem they give these motivations on the use of cheats, summarizing: The use of an instrument that can lead to be considered equal or better than the others (sense of inadequacy). 5-Who uses cheat is only a person with obvious self-esteem problems, and profound problems of not considering himself at the height of the other players. -Or what I had already commented on. I think the concept is clearer now .... P.M. if no. ``` ```auto ``` ---

It’s quite simple; however, DICE will never find out. For the others who are interested: Go to battlefield tracker, go to leaderboards, then by sort by Kills/Mins, and check the profiles with under 500 rounds played. ---

Now go ahead and stop playing and don’t give them the satisfaction of your preorder for the next game until you see proof of them doing something about cheaters. I mean yeah that’s an option but.. people are on here complaining because they like the game and don’t want to see it go to … I’ve been playing since the original Battlefield and a pattern I’ve noticed is that towards the end of their lifespans it was swarming with hackers (I suppose at this point the devs moved on to making the newer titles).. with BF V I’m starting to see that same thing happen now… It’s really sad. With proper support from the devs and constant updates this game can keep going for years.. I mean look at Rainbow Six Siege, crap game imo but the devs are supporting it and retaining their players.. something to learn from that. ---

I think I saw a somewhat new development in EU this weekend. The majority of obvious rage cheaters used to have high pings (\>120). We kind of assumed them to be from Asia as the cheating has been a large problem there for long (BF1, BF4 etc). This weekend I saw the majority of cheaters having pings in the typical EU ranges (\< 60). I’m still talking about obvious cheaters here, not eventual ESP cheaters with average scores. Many probably from central EU (close enough to the German servers to have pings \< 20). My guess is that it is EU cheaters that has been sneaky before but now gets triggered by the Asian ones and cannot restrain themselves any more but goes full cheat mode. This development has in any case made the cheat infestation a problem magnitudes larger than before in EU as one now has problems finding relatively clean servers to play on also during evenings (at least I had). ---

> [@kid\_n4pper](#): > > switch to BattleEye Looked up BattleEye and looked at which games they support. One of my old favorites is supported. I might spend more of my time fighting for the TR republic at Connery again. B) The graphics might be not as detailed, but they do have an anti cheat over the game. Currently if you play the BF5 game for a long period of time, it teaches young minds that cheating is acceptable in life. BF4 was not like that, instant ban by the admin. If you have impossible stats and disrupt the game, = instant ban. You don’t play on the server until you can explain why you have a score of 144/2 with 6 hours of experience. ---
