Great job updating the game but please make a better anticheat. You guys don't care about it because your numbers are up. Unacceptable. Fix it or I'm completely done. I been playing since bad company....FIGURE IT OUT!!!!!!!!

I see this guy hacking constantly in game

I'm not sure if this is a get good issue or what. I have not seen an obvious cheater yet, but there are plenty of one hit kills, killed around corners and players that sponge dozens of rounds without deaths. This still needs to be fixed and might be what OP is seeing.

There are plenty of cheats being sold for this game. The cheat providers aren't developing and maintaing them for their health. People are buying and using them. Rage hackers have never been the issue. It's the closet cheats that gain the advantage. Part of DICE's new anti-cheat strategy has been to minimize the awareness of the issue. This was the real reason for removal of the scoreboard, removal of all chat, and removal of spectator mode. Cheating and being good at the game aren't mutually exclusive. There are very good players who also augment their ability with cheats to get an extra advantage. Even pro's have been caught live doing this. You can guarantee that some high skill amateurs also do this from their home.

@sk1lld I agree, with the myriad of problems concerning hit-reg, lag, latency, time nudge, TTK, TTD, de-sync, inconsistency etc. etc. it's pretty hard to determine if anyone is cheating or something else entirely.Until EA/Dice acknowledge and ultimately fix these issues FIRST then these sorts of posts are going to continuously pop up.

the one thing i can say is that in all my time i have yet to see an obvious hacker in 2042...
a good player doesn't cheat necessarily....

Where do you get that they don't do anything and if so what do you suggest for anticheat? You are the one who has to come to the realization of the situation that it doesn't get better than this, the job that AC does can almost be described as going out and trying to pat a swarm of mosquitoes to death with your hands on a summer evening, not an easy task or rather a completely impossible task . Interpreting the 2 answers above, the EAC seems to work perfectly fine as they haven't seen a cheater in hundreds of hours and have to "tell" you about it.

@NOFXguy81
I believe that what @sk1lld say might be what you are witnessing in this game.
Check this topic: Hit-reg-issues-TTK-vs-TTD-inconsistency you might find similar encounters there.

In all modern Battlefield games this might have been the best and least troublesome anti-cheat we have had.

@SpoolaZ the main reason is because i know from personal experience that there are enough players throwing hackusation like its free candy...
not every player who kills you is cheating and not every player who has a plus 3 KD is cheating i have heard both statements before...
and teh current reference is BFV a game that had next to no working anti-cheat so yeah not having seen any rage hackers in 500+h is a big win in my book

I will say that I have seen a few very suspicious players, people that have uncanny game awareness.
But the amount of spotting in this game is a total joke and it could of course be a matter of being spotted (which we must expect to be all the time).
Other games using EAC still have cheaters (Apex etc), but compared to earlier BF-titles, BF2042 is very "clean" and cheaters are not really a problem (I haven't felt it at least).

I agree that not all,but many in that group of players are not clean and use some form of cheating. I can also refer to BF3-4 myself, didn't see many rage hackers in the 800 hours I spent on it. But that doesn't mean it had few cheaters, on the contrary, they were very numerous. The worst category were the chaos cheaters, those who thought the cheats would make them better and thus ran around completely brain dead and only gave the game a chaotic feel and therefore also became easy prey for anyone who could play. What I especially remember, which was really noticeable, was when the ban-waves against big suppliers hit, it suddenly went quiet on the servers and all the chaos disappeared for a couple of hours, it was the same way every time, and it spoke for itself. Were there accusations? Yes, a lot, but who cares.
