is anyone is going to do anything about this game? there are tons of hackers out there, literally in my every game i encounter a hack where he doesnt miss a single shot.so done lol.

I play from Singapore and Philippines often.Cheaters are now squad level and I will have one of my team mates hacking for sure.It's reached plague level proportions. My mates would play everyday since it launched. Now we can't be arsed because of cheaters. Aimbot, Maphack, Lag Hack and now, Tele hack.The game is unplayable now.Your Battle Pass is exactly what it's called, most of us will, pass.

A lot of people will pass, due to cheaters. They have said it here and in the Reddit. Sure posting you banned 355k cheaters is good, but where is proof of that happening? When asked to present us with the nicknames of the banned people, they basically stopped talking to us and started even silencing people that demanded that over at Reddit.I know what they are trying to pull. They do not want to permanently ban cheaters because they will lose a huge portion of the profits from pass from potential customers. They paln on releasing the pass letting people buy it and then ban cheaters or do something more pro-active in getting them permabanned (like double verification system). The problem is people have seen the same * pulled before from EA and have been burnt one too many times to fall for the same trick. At this point i would argue they are going to look at very bad pass sales even with all the promotion they are planning with streamers on Twitch. People are just about done with cheaters. The sooner they realise it the better for the game and their profits.

Barry, bro... there are too many cheaters to report them all without massive fixes and quick reporting. If you honestly don't understand this, then you haven't played the game from Asia.1: Isolate Chinese IPs to their own server2: Make patching these hacks higher priority than literally any other thing and don't take any coder off it until its fixed.3: Add quick reporting and blocking

Good lord, do you realize that your antihack isnt working at all? I'm done, until god knows when, there's a hack that lets people auto lock on, run at 500% run speed or more, and detect everyone on the map. I just watch from high location as someone named [Removed - Admin.] running too fast to even properly track (i was not lagging and my teammates saw it the same way as well) then he went straight for the building from across the map to where my wife playing right next to me was and my third teammate, so i jumped down thinking i was either lagging (wasn't) and that id at least try to kill them, but he instantly ran out, again at 500% or more normal movement speed, and just swamp me instantly at close range.I know the devs are pretending to be excited and working hard on Season 1, the battle pass, the new heros and loot, but let me tell you the realest thing ever. I don't give a * how amazing the reviews of Apex Legends were in it's first month, I don't care if you knocked Fortnite off the charts, or how refreshing it was to the genre and all that. No one will play when half of all solo queues are ruined by Chinese advertising bots, and then your 10+ minute game is upset by someone because you guys literally have no protection against cheaters, or practical way to report cheaters. Any game that can only be amazing until the point the hackers catch up with it is not a good game at all. Your game will literally die before you ever make any money from it. You ought to prioritize this beyond anything else or watch your stock price crash into nothing.

Now theres a map hack/detection hack and a speed hack which lets them run almost too fast to even track from far away. Game over uninstalling until god knows when.

I was just playing with someone who had this hack as well as aimbot and a possible map hack. I got video evidence of it as well that I reported through Easy Anti-Cheat (If that even helps).
I guess I'm not touching this game until the hacking problem gets resolved.

And honestly, I know I'm being unfair by suggesting you could fix these things ASAP but really your game's reputation will never recover if they aren't fixed withing the next week or two so seriously, you ought to consider stressing the importance of this. If all the paying customers leave we all know what will happen to your jobs to a nonprofitable game. Most people haven't even seen a need to spend money on this prior to the season so except for a few whales I think we all know you guys were banking on the paycheck Season 1 was hoping to bring in. I understand you have to say what you're told about reporting hackers but again, of the small percent of people who would even bother to do that, they can catch one hacker at best per game. It's a free to play game. They can instantly make a new account and join up in games with the rest of the general public even if your support staff is taking peoples reports at face value and banning them instantly (which, you can't because you'll burn all sorts of innocent people that way). Even isolating the main offenders here, the Chinese people playing, won't fix it since youll just have one ecosystem and huge economy completely destroyed, while a small number will just find some VPNs and hop over to NA servers. Or theyll just translate their hacking ads into Korean next week. You can imagine all the ways this can only be fixed by you. Seriously. Fix it or be a caution tale of your quick rise and even faster fall. Don't lose your jobs with the rest of EA's failed franchises.

Ok, I report several cheaters a day! And so what?!? What will stop them to make another account and troll players again and again? You banned 355K cheaters? The next day they are back in the game. That's it, you just admitted there is atleast 355K cheaters! Good luck trying monetizing.
