[Megathread] BFV and Cheating Discussion

I haven’t played in a while, so you guys are saying there is no point in trying again? The cheaters have all found out there is nothing from stopping them and have completely taken over the game?

@STOPchris

It’s as bad as it has ever been Chris. I can show you game reports every day with rage aimbotters. Talking just the absolute worst since they empty servers. These should fall into a silo of cheaters easily picked up by FF without human intervention and are not. So now with the processing time it can take more than a month to get rid of a player like this. Not even sure if EA had a service level agreement for processing with the current support group they use?

Stay away from this iteration. Personally I would look for something different in the future.

Even @MrProWestie on his Twitter feed just said it’s completely out of control :+1:

There was an old thread about bfv, I hate to admit it but there are cheaters in this game currently it is no longer visible.

Interesting. There’s video showing a speed hack in BFV. The cheater is running faster than a Jeep, lol.

Most likely moved out of public view as it’s now defunct and this one is more recent and is relevant..

My guess anyway.

Too many hackers in asia server!!! AMAZING!!!anti-cheating????There are cheaters in every game server!!even 3 hacker or more!!!

The fact that this thread is 113 pages long with no real response of a real solution is a clear indication that this game is dead. Dead as in the spirit of gaming, not the population count. If I was an investor, I wouldn’t invest in anything DICE pushes out until its clear that they are MAKING repairs and not PENDING repairs to the structure of this game.

DICE Anti-Cheat btw

only statement on web , not include ingame . Remember Cheaters are customer tho they think maybe.

The message has been duplicated in the official forums. I don’t know why.

I reported several that way, and from their stats, it seems most of them are not playing anymore. So to me, it looks like action were taken. If they pop up again on a new account… well, thats another story.

A guy who was rage hacking played tonight. One video of him is from 20 November 2019. It’s 3 months later, and he is still playing.

Nothing out of the ordinary, sadly
I meet the same cheaters again and again for months.
I have stopped reporting. Waste of time and just add more frustration to the game when you see nothing is being done.

One game of SQ with 2 cheaters…played for 5 minutes and i’m off again. Its a total disgrace.

Since Thursday nearly all servers as so flushed with hackers even the cheerleaders on YouTube are playing BF1, 3 and 4 instead and commenting on it.

All rage hackers too not afraid to hide what they are doing. I am just going to connect to spectate and make videos. Its not fun at all to play and now its every server.

I will never pick up another BF title until it has private servers.

since cheater ruined this game, i think most of people hesitate to buy next BF.
in such net society, everyone can know about it easily.
i don’t understand why EA doesn’t care about this.
or, does EA just gave up anti cheat?

in Japan server, both team have 3 - 5 cheaters.
every server has cheater.
there is no server without cheater.
and they are using plane or tank.
how we can fight with it?
i really don’t know what is this game for.
we normal player is just feed for cheater.
only cheater have fun, and normal people just feel boring.

You say…….and they are using plane or tank.

Chances are they are most likely not cheaters, very high scores are common in planes / tanks.

As everyone was going for tanks in Firestorm more than half a year ago - as soon as you see a well known cheater in the kill log - cheaters learned and are getting tanks as well. Don’t ask how good their aim is - they kill you while being miles away, hiding behind cover etc.

Yesterday we had a “beginner” in FS cheating… firing/killing half his 18 kills/victims in hosues - from the outside. He took my medium armor with 2-3 direct hits thru 2 walls, and half the health. High distance kills thru 400 meters of forest and bushes… I had one cheater once reported, who used LAV on pacific storm, killing everyone with mounted lmg - whereever they were hiding. Don’t tell us how to take out tanks and planes. There are also pilots with macros that prevent overheating of the guns by quickly changing 1st and 2nd cannon all the time while firing… We had no chance taking him down! I do not know how he always was able to reset his vehicle health to 100, we hunted him with 2-3 planes… Seems like he pressed a button and had quick repair by 100. Like the speedhack cheaters being able to get full health back in Firestorm we had in 1-2 seconds. Don’t tell us ever how take an enemy down :wink: We all know.

My playlist of cheaters is full and there is much more proof out there. A lot of guys already left the game. Only Origin Basic/Advanced users trolling in “trying” BF with some what… The game is done… And I am really worried about it, because I supported this game since BF1942! It was never any more worse. In the good old days communities were able to handle the problem on their own (gameservers), a big community behind - sharing proof and lists… It’s all over now, because EPS matters, not the customers.

The community fixed BF4 and to a lesser extent BF1. BFVs biggest flaw is arrogant developers that decided to exclude the community completely and hand off the big decisions to people who never played the game.

If they would do BF4 private servers, BF4 community test servers and have the BF4 attitude toward fixing a game with great promise they would most likely get a BF4 like recovery.

I feel like Micky in Rocky II. “Come on EA, fight this problem like you did with BF4!! That was beautiful!”.

The private server thing seems a no brainer for EA. Let the community solve the problem of cheaters. We are willing and waiting to do so.

Or literally pay for Easy Anti Cheat and BattlEye and have one of the cleanest games on the market overnight. Fortnite has this combination and is the cleanest game on PC in my opinion.

You don’t even know what you’re talking about, at all.

But then, your game history is set to private…
