EA doesn't seem to be keen on anti-cheat
The new season has not kept cheaters out; they are present in every game and are increasing in number as time goes by. From last season till now, not only familiar faces are still active in the game...
Forum Discussion
@UP_LordPlumber @ForumUser Got it. You both meant specific stats for diff. categories: I took it as only examples for assessment across the board. This is how the logic would have failed. As such, sure, I’m definitely all for supporting that approach.
This one been raging for awhile. Stat check could easily identify this and autoban. But even if they didn't want to automate it entirely, it could at least flag for immediate review. There is no reason for this other than corporate greed.
This we would consider a text book cheater
Yeah. That is an obvious rage cheater. EA has let them play for over a week and they have almost 20 hours of playtime. It's almost certain there have been numerous reports.
Just imagine how many closet cheats are in the game using ESP/Wallhack and/or soft aimbot. Considering how EA lets this obvious nonsense go on for so long. EAC was better and the game feels signficantly less clean now.

I guess we can take this as proof that there is no anticheat active for BF2042, let alone a 'kernel level' anticheat. Why EA/Dice still claim that there is if such specimen are allowed on the battlefield is beyond me. Of course the anticheat works, and it is probably very effective against these free cheats that are available online, just look in the BF5 forum.
Not all, but many of them have or have had cheat programs installed, which EAAC has detect. There are examples, where they didn't get the answers to why the game didn't start in the official forum and then went to the cheat forum to ask the same question.
Then it is not difficult to figure out that when the supply is reduced, they look for other suppliers.
It is probably the rise of these cheaters everyone is seeing, cheaters who have advanced to better cheats.Because, who wants to believe in, that they will stop, just because a new AC has been installed.
No, they simply move on, for the simple reason that a cheater is always a cheater.- @DigitalHype Yep I would say this dude is a cheat - no doubt ! EA anticheat do work - but it takes way too long time.

The in-game anticheat might 'work' in a sense that it catches known and freely available cheats that only idiots would use. But it does NOT catch the commercially available cheats.
Reporting also does NOT work. As I wrote before: I reported and even re-reported several cheaters and they are STILL playing MONTH after filing the first report. I know Dice CMs here claim it works and even post guides to 'How to report a cheater' pages on their website, but my experience with the approx 10 cheaters that I am tracking and re-reporting every time I run accross them on the battlefield is proof to the contrary. @ForumUserwe need to return to running servers like in old days - where you were admin yourself. Just played BF5 underground 64 player map - private person hosted with rules - no shotgun no mmg - but most important no cheaters. Here the person that hosts the server and map - have the power to kick the cheater. This game was legit from start to end - and what a nice pleassant experience - this map and no cheat. Think BF2042 should be run the same way - vote kick - map votes and all the things we had before.
Very often when I report players I also say I did in common chat so person can see. They ask why and calls me all kinds of things. I explain why and very very often they leave. Would you leave if you did nothing wrong ?
Not sure how steam's VAC ban works - but that is a nasty penalty to get. Anyone know what penalty is here ? Just pop-up saying you are not allowed to play or are you ban'ed from game ? It needs to be a severe slap for it to work.It's almost like their afraid to do what needs to be done. They "EA/DICE" have been like this in all their past titles after BF4. I don't know what to say but it is aggravating to the utmost.
