Re: Hacking is out of control and ruining the game! FIX IT NOW!

Hi @TannkMusic,

Sorry to hear about how cheats are ruining your matches. They are a nuisance and very frustrating to have to deal with. It's completely understandable to be upset about it.

Having said that, this is really a problem that arises from the players themselves, rather than EA who only make games.

I'm finding that channeling the negativity into doing something positive is the best approach. Just being positive, and resisting any temptation to cheat is a victory against the hackers and cheats.

355,000 pesky cheaters were already banned. But what they lack in brain power they make up for in persistence.

Really hope you have some stunning victories to brag about in the near future! 🤞

They''re in every game now, I just got melted by this one cheat right after he melted my other teammate. Watching him he's playing it safe and pretending he's not cheating, missing a lot of hits and so forth and then you see him instantly headshot people consistently until they die. The sad thing is these creatures are so bad at the game they still fail to even win.

Yeah, Im slowly starting to lose hope with the Asia Servers. It was great in the beginning but now it feels like hell. When they banned those 350k accounts the game was great again for a day or two, but now you would be more surprised when the games ends like normal be it a lose or win rather than be surprised when you get a spam bot squad or get shredded. ☹️

I have reported a lot of them already but now Im getting really tired of it .

My wife and I have been seeing them all night kill farming and afk farming to boost accounts to see, people selling kills on ebay, all you have to do it search and it comes right up.

I think it is worse in Asian regions - I've come across at least a few cheaters, but I wouldn't say it's totally messed up or that they're in every game (thank god for that), but yes they are absolutely pathetic and I literally cannot understand how you can get any pleasure playing with cheats. I had a guy in my team who cheated and he stopped communicating as soon as I called him out on it. I'd love to have a chat with a cheater.

To be honest I've made a long post somewhere about possible ways to fix, but at the end of the day it's a) toughest, harshest punishments, including hardware bans etc. and b) publicly blacklisted account and hardware, shared on a website and/or with other game developers so that the person is prevented from playing the games he/she actually care about. Cheating should have proper consequences.

I had to change my region because there's so many cheaters in asia. Try to play in north america servers i barely see or encounter any cheaters when i play there

Good Luck.  Just ran two games in a row on NA server.  One dude aimbotted to victory and the last game we had a speed hacker that for giggles warped all over the map melee killing us.  We'd get a few hits in and then they would warp out to heal and come back....This game just took a big downturn on the fun meter.

Cheaters are in every single one of my games.

We all 3 rushed a cheater he teleported and shot us from behind.

They say they are doing something, apparently not.

Don't buy the the battle pass, it's a waste of money.

I love the game to bits. But for now I'll spend my money back on Fortnite and actually started playing it again despite how primitive it feels now compared to Hackpex Legends. 

Couldn't agree more.  I play with my kids from time to time and we were discussing going with Battle pass...after this AM's blatant encounter with aim botters and speed hackers.  It actually has us thinking of going a different direction until EA can get a handle on this.  

No Money for EA till hacking gets fixed - Perm IP BAN hackers. 

Well no * Sherlock, where do you think all the hackers come from, the communistic * of a country CHINA. I've just about had enough of this *, now there is a hacker in every game, now with the addition of SPEED HACKS. China needs a region lock and we need it YESTERDAY.

"Having said that, this is really a problem that arises from the players themselves, rather than EA who only make games." WTF are you on about?! There will ALWAYS be cheaters, it is entirely EA and Respawn's fault for the rampant cheater problem. They need to fix this issue, "355,000 bans" doesn't mean crap when the GAME IS FREE. Those 355,000 banned players are already back and cheating again lol.

give you(EA) just 'taste' what happing on asia server.

this is how QQ-spammer(or cheat tool advertiser)  powerful.

- Champion is eliminated before introduce. Legends quit game because wrong teammate (QQ-spammer).

- many of people quit game immediately, if 'Contact!' to QQ-spammer.

- worst case: remaining team is already half gone, before landing.

WTF???  That's a serious response?  It's not the game, it's the players?  Seriously?  There are SO many viable solutions to this problem, I'm confounded that this is how a "Guide" responds to this thread.  I bet you 99.9% of the players would be fine with a $20 price tag on future copies of the game to deter the rampant cheaters.  And that's just an off the top of my head solution.

Here's a cheater who made it to level 60.  60!!!  I haven't even made it to 60 yet and I've been playing a few hours every couple days since launch.  That's just inexcusable.

But yeah, it's not the publisher's fault we're dealing with this.  It's not EA's fault they haven't put a stop to it.  It's the players fault.  EA has no responsibility to people who paid money in thier cash store to receive a game where you can expect fair and honest gameplay.   It's solely on the players that they just make a new free account when when the ineffective ban hammer comes down once every couple weeks.

Looks like the only way to deal with it is to make a second account and download some hacks so we're all on the same playing field.  If EA can't beat 'em, guess the player base just has to join them.
