[Megathread] BFV and Cheating Discussion

Ok - what is the right way to handle the issue?

Not harassing staff is a good place to start, communicate with EA on a semi regular basis, not daily and not multiple times a day either.

I’m sure you and the other folks here have better methods of keeping up to date on the issue without ending up on a block list

Hide individual complaints… on a thread that is publiclyvisible?

Explain the logic?

IF EA wanted to… “hide the issue”, then the issue and ALL MENTIONS OF IT would not be publicly visible, to forum members and non members alike..

Several threads are much easier to spot. Than one. If that makes sense.

Sooo many hackers with ping 150 from Asia, it’s not funny anymore :frowning:

You know, out of all of the pages and pages of this thread…This is probably the best point…

Dear Dice:

in australian server, There has been a person called mrmalage that has been hacking for weeks. its killing the already dying australian server, please get him banned

You can’t post hackusations with player nicks here. Use spectate, record it, upload it somewhere (like youtube) and attach the video link to a report. Should work, if the cheating is obvious.

I don’t even know what the point of this thread is, moderators send people here, DICE/EA don’t care. It’s literally a lobby for people to whinge until they finally accept that nothing will ever be done about it, it’s place for EA to say: buy some cosmetics and Shut up. If you have to have a mega thread where you can’t name someone, what’s the point. Oceania servers are dying from persistent cheaters who don’t even hide it, its so damn brazen. One guy has been decimating the player base for weeks. I am wrong ? or does this thread achieve something for the player base?

It doesn’t work even when it is obvious. I reported a player, I put the video on reddit, even dannyonpc linked to it on his twitter feed. The guy still played, RAGE HACKING, for 3 more weeks.

Don’t be so upset. I think this is just how DICE made the game ‘more accessible to new players’.

Played yesterday and the server I first joined where clearly divided in three groups spread over the two teams:

First group of top 5-7 players (most with latency > 140), level 5-35, k/d ranging from about 10 to 20.

Second group of players were the veterans of level +100 typically in the top 15 in both teams, k/d around 1-3 in average.

Then we had the newer legit players filling up the bottom 15 level < 100, almost all struggling getting any kills at all. These are probably the most likely buyers of skins but I doubt they will stay on long enough to buy anything at all, except maybe a cheating software at some point.

From a software point of view these are very different due to one vital point: Anti virus software is there to stop malicious software to run, basically by asking the user for authorization whenever some unsigned or otherwise suspicious software wants to run. An antivirus will NOT block a virus from running if you allow it though.

A cheat software is actively started by the user, typically at administrator level, giving it full access to all processes on the computer (of course this is a risky business from the cheaters point of view, but if you are sitting for example on an internet cafe, what do you care…). This makes a big difference.

With no anti cheat … RSP is the only way . Players need to police this game , EA can’t and won’t do it .

Its easier to spot many threads. Than one.

It was better for a while, but now there are Cheater again every day on nearly every Server. Reporting doesn´t make sense, some players have been reported several times by a lot of other gamer and they still play…so what…

If this should work…? It doesn’t.

I created tons of video proof, in our community people created tons of proof. There are just CLEAR cheating players since months / a year ingame and nothing has been done.

It is the Trump tactics. Give something (thread where people can complain) and people will reduce their dreams to nothing. See, I would like per today, it would be enough for me, if they stop asian players being routed to europian servers! I can’t play a normal match on daylight, because of 50% highpingers and 1-5 cheaters per match.

Again I went to spec mode and made video proof, reported everything. But I KNOW there will be no bans. I would say, out of 30 players I reported - only 1-2 where banned or they just stopped playing (I wasn’t able to find them on servers/online any more in BF).

Everyone may know these Patr0n-XXXXX player, the SpacegeekXXXXX - playing since the very beginning and nothing happens. We have some discord servers, all full with 3-10 squads in the evening. They are ALL reporting cheaters with video proof, all are still playing.

Man it sounds bad on pc. Don’t know how you guys put up with it. Lots of problems on console but at least we don’t need to worry about cheaters. Anyway I’m not even playing bfv anymore , its a mess. Here’s a suggestion. Move on. If it really is so bad just move on. Find something else to play and don’t buy the next bf until you’re sure it has a working anti cheat.
I mean just look at this thread here. How many pages but no response by Dice/EA. You guys must be smart enough to figure out what that means.

The community would really appreciate updates as to what is being done with regards to combating cheaters. We are forever reporting cheaters (There are plenty of YouTube videos of said cheaters and my friend and I are constantly reporting in game cheaters) but there is NO FEEDBACK and we keep seeing these same players in games time and time again! A monthly ban feedback report would be great since no one in the community has any idea if what we are doing is having any effect at all. On that note, the process of filing a report is really laughable and just seems like a way to make you feel better instead of a concrete “yes we will address this cheater you just reported”. In all my years of BF3, BF4, BF1 and now BFV I have only ever heard from other players about 5 possible bans or account suspensions. Also, It would be great if these caught cheaters are limited to certain servers (reserved for cheaters only) or restricted weapon/ammo or have a visual mark on their characters & vehicles once released back into regular servers. PLEASE GIVE THE COMMUNITY FEEDBACK WITH REGARDS TO ANTI CHEAT AND BANS!

Legit this franchise has the worst cheating problem on PC. Like, you use Easy anti cheat for Apex and it’s about 1000x more clean than battlefield. Why are we getting shafted here?

I think you need to learn what a VPN is. All your suggestions are not possible due to the very nature of how VPNs work. Also, plenty of people in the entire world needs VPNs to game for various reasons.
