Hey all,
We do understand encountering cheaters causes a negative impact on your gaming experience. We want to give you an opportunity to share your thoughts about cheating and what can be done to combat it. Any feedback you may have can be posted in this thread. When posting your comments, please remember:
are there not cheaters in cod? pretty much why i stopped building and pc gaming back in the day
8 games, 3 rage cheaters, two less talkative cheaters and one on a tank killing the whole team on devastation with constant mg headshots across the map.
Funny every single game there were ppl defending those cheaters though they break the game for everyone. I think they are organized and support each other.
So much for the quota btw, 6/8 exactly 75%, I’m done.
what’s with the infinite artily, is it far to easy to build up those points or what ? some games seen like that’s all there is .
You know what really grinds my gears?
My biggest Problem is the missing transparency. We get 0 feedback about whats being done about cheating. Nothing about what actually helps when reporting players, do you want demos or detailed descriptions, or screenshots? what are you baning players for? what kind of cheats? how many players have been baned and for what? what are you looking for?
WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS WHEN I REPORT SOMEONE?
Is it like CS:GO Overwatch where high ranked reliable players look at demos and decide whos a cheater and who isnt?
we have NO information about all of this. the team behind the anti cheat “efforts” is frustratingly quiet about every single detail of their “work”.
That is, what really grinds my gears.
So I came to the forums to open a thread about cheating in BFV but saw others have noticed as well. Battlefield V has a massive problem with cheaters. I encountered way too many for the last two weeks. It’s not fun to lose to cheaters another time in a row, get your KD stomped and watch them remaining on the Battlefield. Remove them! I suggest to implement a report function into Battlefield directly. Many people don’t even know how to report (“how do I report?”) and it’s quite a barrier to go over to Origin, search the name and everything.
How to report suspected cheaters in Battlefield V.
Also : How to report cheating, harassment, and illegal content
With all due respect, it seems reporting via Origin is a complete waste of time and ineffectual. It’s like pressing one of those buttons on a crosswalk that does nothing, but gives you the facade of being in control.
They should make two step authentication compulsory for people playing away from the home location ,so that non legit players don’t use a VPN and cry they were hacked and someone cheated from another location.
DICE, you need to wake up.
This epidemic is getting out of hand.
No more skin sets, no more fixes for now - WE NEED A WORKING ANTI-CHEAT NOW!
With all due respect likewise, Those are the options we have and those are the options we must use in order to submit reports
I have not seen any cheats used the past few weeks.
I haven’t been on lately, plus no squad at times. If there is no cheats, I may go back on then.
Having a laugh or trolling? I see em almost daily, if not multiple times per day
Got stopped by one after about 3hrs into a session just now.
Think he started raging after we blasted through 4 sites on iwo jima
just 2 pence worth of thoughts here
bring back vote kick but make it so only spectators can start it
then community who likes to watch can spot and start procedings to start getting the scum bags banned
personly posted vids of multiple hackers on my yt channel might even start a entire new channel just for it to highlight the problem further
I just bought BFV two days ago, and it didn’t require much time to notice cheaters(hackers) are playing this game too. The last series of battle field I played is BF4 and it’s really a shame that almost all servers I joined were occupied with those illegal players because game itself is amazing and pretty fun to play.
What I want to say is having those players banned “WHILE THEY ARE PLAYING THE GAME”.
Personally, I do think the real problem that we are having is not “hackers can play the game” but “hackers can keep playing the game for a while”. I understand that EA’ve made a quite effort to fix this problem, but it’s actually not fixed yet. All we need right now is not new anti-cheat tool but immediate and effective counter measures offered by EA. So, how about assigning a dozen people as surveillance so you can deal with them ASAP. (If there is a player who killed too many, then having those surveillance check.)
The reason why hackers can make back after getting banned is just because they are playing from internet cafes mostly in China. So, checking the players if they are hackers or not should be conducted ASAP. (checking players after finished playing is meaningless because they’ve already left the cafes)
Bringing back the vote kick would be effective as much as my idea, it can getting hackers out of game “WHILE THEY ARE PLAYING”
I’ve probably come across a couple… Maybe. Not sure if I really like playing against console players with their aim assist, but I don’t think it really matters. Every game I play, the console players are still doing pretty bad with their aim assist. Yeah, have to say, cheating is worse in BF so far.
I really do believe that Call of Duty this time is better for small game modes. Also, so far not nearly as many cheaters.
Do you have some more of that??? You know? Whatever you took…
It’s pretty easy to report. Just have origin ingame activated and report through the scoreboard.
Not that it’ll help, obvious cheaters go on for months without repercussions. Then some are banned also. All in all this game is easily cheated, regardless of people getting caught.
Anyway, a game infested with cheaters is not something I will spend any more money on. I play some tow events, some rounds and call it a day. Stats doesn’t matter either since there are plenty out of character assignments that get you killed more than you wanted.
It is what it is. But do report, even if it doesn’t seem to matter.
