Re: [Megathread] BFV and Cheating Discussion

So I am from Singapore and been playing bf5 since beta (as well as bf 3 4 and 1).
BFV has got to be the worst case of hacking in battlefield history.

Game is awesome fun without any hackers. good gun play.

But every single game in SEA servers are filled with minimum 2. note 'minimum' 

usually would consist of 4-6 in a game.

Hackers has even banded together to form hacking clans. I believe that says alot about what they think of EA's anti cheat.

On the constructive end. We like to understand more what exactly is being done to salvage the situation of these hackers. It has made playing bf5 a chore when dealing with hackers. Reporting hackers has become part of the game (reported countless times already).

The hacking situation is killing off the playerbase. Once hackers appear on enemy team. my team starts to quit, and becomes a feedback effect, losing the game in a landslide defeat, both by hackers and the disappointment from my team players.

The community feels neglected and disappointed by EA/DICE effort and lack of communication in the effort against these hackers.

Do clarify in detail what is being done or looking to be done in the near future.

Thank you.

    First time I was so irritated by someone hacking (because it is such a regular occurrence) that I videoed it.   Submitted it in the report text as well.   I read your forum post about reporting via origin.   Since there is no followup that something "happened" because of the report - I wanted to also post it here.

    For at least the last 30 days I can barely find a non-cheating server.  BF-any version has always been easy to hack based on the fact cheating continued to exist...but it was not as prevalent a year ago and I could simply switch servers.  Not any more!  I can't find a clean server.  I'm not talking about the really good players...there are plenty.  I'm not talking about the tanks or planes that have 50 kills & no deaths.  I mean the blatant, obvious hackers!  This appears to be mostly from China VPNing into Western servers based on names, squad voip language and 150+ pings.  What's the deal?

    - Are they using hacks to rank-up and grab gear, then resell the accounts full of weapons?

    - Is it because everyone there hacks and no one can play without equivalent hacks?

    I have never seen anything like this before.  No one should even consider buying this game until EA/Dice can figure out how to get this under control.

    I hope this helps answer your question or at the very least let you know others have had this same issue and EA is trying to work on a solution.

    Thanks Real_Noobalishus.  I have reported them, along with the other players...mostly so I can feel like I tried.  EA said they were working on a solution back in the days of BF2.  Clearly not their focus but this new craze is going to hurt their bottom line.  From what I've read EA can't sell the game in China, China has no multi-player servers there - yet they are clearly pirating the software and using hacks to inundate US servers.  I'm sure everyone being stuck indoors due to he CoronaVirus doesn't help any but unless EA blocks China, perhaps high-pings, and spots suspicious activity a lot faster for homegrown hackers they won't need to worry about a BF6.  This will end it, it's not enjoyable/playable in its current state.  Hopefully this and other feedback will trickle up to EA, and hopefully they actually listen.

    Cheating, when is EA going to block the editing of the LOD Bios, most are using nvidia inspector to edit the LOD Bios, they are using 000000x78 or 3000.
    This cheat has been used for years so basically there are no objects in the world.

    I totally agree with you, cant find any game without cheaters any more sinds a couple of weeks.

    I report 1-4 players a round to make clear that there are cheaters. So they cant stick there head in the sand any more.

    I also would like a update on what is being done against cheating, now and in the future!!!!
    Sinds now it feels like the cheaters are winning and the non cheaters lose.

    I'm getting less and less interest in joining a game at the moment thanks to the cheaters and the non reaction/communication around it....

    20:33 CEST - So many cheaters on servers that I started combined arms. Though that one is bugged. (could not fetch report https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/PATCH-5-2-UNABLE-TO-FETCH-YOUR-REPORT/m-p/8772366/highlight/false#M25213) .

    Cheater reporting bugged: (https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/When-viewing-player-profile-in-game-opens-blank-window/td-p/8112191/jump-to/first-unread-message)

    Sometimes just a sign to call it an even and turn off the pc. 

    As this is text: No I'm not emotional salty or angry. Just provide feedback that cheating is getting worse. Hoping on a statement, or change in the way dealt for. 

    When a player is just good perhaps give him an icon. Crown or something. This guy is good and no cheater, just as a sign for players.

    Not played a full game from start to finish all weekend as I just leave if there are cheaters in the game, every single game has cheaters now!

    Time to move on I think as it's pretty obvious nothing is being done and all this is doing is wasting my time  after wasting my money.

    Wonder if we can all sue EA for the money we have all lost due to their inaction on this?

  • I broke my hard drive! fu*k this! Cheaters have ruined this game, and it's not their fault.
    EA, goodbye and thanks for nothing...
