Has anyone else noticed a rise in hackers?Over the past few days i have been noticing a few more hackers in the game.Mostly aimbots as their kills are hugeAs soon as they become a huge problem this game is going to die off fast, crossplay players will just block pc playersESP is going to be a problem to notice due to paiks wallhackOn 3 or 4 games the past few days ive noticed players with huge kills,Players on server have less than 10 kills but hackers have 30-40 within a few minutes of the game startingThere are cheat sites offering hacks but not sure if they are active as a lot of them stopped supporting hacks when the game died off for a whileAre hackers actively being banned still?Also i have noticed sites are telling others how to Disable EAC ingame now so that wont help

yep there plenty of them am afraid And please don’t say” I haven’t seen any” because you only see the rage hackers and they are absolutely the minority!

@emerson1975 Exactly, no one cheats like that anymore.The consistency of the absurd shots people have landed on me makes me wonder at times. The networking feels off too though. Until that’s rock solid it’ll be hard to know for sure who’s hacking, unless they’re being very blatant.

Yup, i think cheats (aimbot/WH/ESP/Damagehack) has increased alot, itsvery notable on the new map (season 2), were cheaters are drawn to the tight inhouse closecombat maps (same as in BF4/BF3 Metro, and Op Locker) were no vehicles can interupt their goal... (K/D). The large amount of lowranks/newbies in the ranks of 10-70 (who dont even use Paik!) and often already have 2-3 "redplates" often dominates the field of battle.I think the coders couldnt sell their 2042 cheats (2042 is not that popular) and just let it go freely for everyone to download (anyone can check this fact, i dont wanna link).EAC which is BF 2042s defense dosent seems to work or is very slow to spot and eliminate obvious cheaters, why ? i dunno, EA/Dice dont provide us anything toshow community how many bans (or lack of bans) it provides. Does it even work at all? is it just a "placebo" protection? Maby im a bit conspirathoric, but this is my thoughts.

At least with the previous games. You could server hop. Here? You can't even do that. You'll always end up in the same games, with the same perpetrators.They clearly learned nothing from their Battlefront releases. Persistent servers and a browser should have been implemented months ago!This is just another example of how poorly they're handling this product. Nothing else.

@emerson1975Where did I write something about a K/D < 1 (I guess this is what you mean by negative?).I wrote that "K/D is a bad indicator to detect cheaters -- if taken on its own".Of course the K/D of cheaters is better than it would be if they were not cheating. But I have seem clear cheaters (wallhackers) in older titles that I have spectated and that were obviously cheating and still ended with an average K/D of 2 or 3. And I myself have rounds where I have a K/D of 10 (not many, but sometimes it happens) and I am not cheating (not even with the official Paik cheats).

Ran into my first hacker yesterday. It was one of those obvious cases. Basically aimbotting everyone through all cover like what you see in BFV. Not bad in almost 900 hours playtime.

@UP_Hawxxeye No dude just general obvious hackers.
There’s a big misconception that if you don’t see any obvious hackers there isn’t any when the reality is there’s plenty you just don’t see

@cso7777 The performance hit in virtualization is insignificant. A virtualized systems waits for user input as good as a bare metal instance.

Most performance hits in virtualization happen when you over provision your hardware with multiple instances.

Or do you speak about emulated systems. That is something totally different.

The issue is, virtualization only helps you, when the whole system runs encrypted, that first requires hardware, that directly supports encryption.
And this does has an impact.

But what is the worse part, you need to have developers have to deal with encryption, and that is a totally different skill set.

Adding encryption to the net streams may solve many issues.

But this all can't address the input manipulation which most likely happens with smart controllers for consoles.

spot on mate, well said
Hackers will never be stopped as they are always one step ahead of the code to stop them
BF1 and V were worse as they did not have any anti cheat
If dice or EA are going to move forward with future games they have to invest more in anti cheat that can be updated as and when new cheats are made available
Thee clever hackers will always use a sniper or tank/heli etc which is harder to spot
This is made worse by the new system of scoreboard, no kdr on scoreboard does not help as does kill cam

Hello there, if you suspect cheaters in any of our games, I recommend looking at our article on reporting players.

As per our message here, I will be closing this topic.
