Hackers are ruining every game In battlefield 2042

Hackers are getting worse by the day & night. There has got to be a stronger way to keep these guys out of the game. I've been reporting numerous of hacker & cheaters! They are basically all new coming Into the game some are old that been in game & nothing may have been done? There needs to be a monitoring system that's stronger. Since modern warfare 2 took off all I see is more & more hackers in bf 2042 anymore than ever coming from there because there is no hacks for that game & hacking is now in this game at its fullest. The lobbies are bad for every game I've been playing all week. This is gotten out of hand. It's clearly not me. I've been getting wall hacked without that person using specialists to see through walls, I haven't been spotted, I have been wall hacked with helicopters,  I've been aim hacked many times, I have been locked on to they're sites to be taken easy, there are people showing hacks on YouTube & that needs to be looked into to put a stop to this. I've been playing since beta and have enjoyed myself until this week. Ea please start enforcing more to get these hackers out. We are not in season 3 yet & if this continues we'll more & more people will stop playing as I don't myself want to stop because of this. Please get this game in gear before season 3. I can't address this enough. For the sake of battlefield. Thank you.

  • With all due respect, if you feel this game has too many hackers then the problem lies in ones definition of a hacker.

    One has to accept that there are players out there whose ability far exceeds the average player due to experience, age and talent. (and I am definitely not one of them btw)

    I encountered very few players who I reeeeally see as suspicious. It is not about just about getting owned a couple of times, it is about how consistently they pull off incredible feats that which may make me suspicious

  • How do you know that the person is hacking and not using a specialist ? I do not think that this warning at the bottom you have been spotted or location revealed or what it say is showing all the times when actually spotted. Soo many things in this game can spot you - soflam, Ranger, turrets, Rao when you use his hack / scanner (very easy push button and swipe around you and you spot / hack all within your area - for all to see). Use of silencer will help you from being spotted far away but not the near soldiers. 

    When I play this game - I have had same feeling as you - hacker here and there but more and more I come to other conclusion - massive delay ! We are unable to see other players ping times as we could in BF4 and BF5 etc. If you play on Europe server and person from China joins in - he might come in with 300 ms and lets say you have 20 ms - then how is server going to cope with that.

    Something called lag compensation is then triggered. They need to kind of average things and they add lag to your connection (google it to get more info on this). This is the exact reason why you need to have ping limits on servers (we have had this since early days of counterstrike). In BF 2042 you can only see your own ms ping and your delay to server but you are unable to see other players ping. In BF5 when a player with 300 or even worse joined in the game became unplayable and I instantly know why and leave server - this is not the case here. 

    For you it looks like he is using aimbot - you see person and you are instantly killed without even fire one shot. Sometimes 2 persons are involved in the kill so you need to look who killed you one or 2 persons.

    For dice / ea this is business - if playerbase is too low - we need to reduce amount of servers - meaning people will have to play on servers long way from their origin and that gives crap game play for players near the server. Like me - I constantly have around 18-20 ms to servers and very often it feels laggy.

    Cheaters yes they are there - but most of time it is the lag thing Im sure of !

  • @stoutgrim Fyi discussion of hacking or cheating is not allowed in this forum. Use the in game reporting tools to report cheating.

    I dont think you're seeing cheats or hacks though I think you're blaming your losses on hacks.

    @Ai-Fluffy Totally agree there is like 0 cheater in EU.

    It's either OP is a in different region or he is just bad and think every one cheats.
  • @stoutgrim No hacks in MW? 😂 I saw more hackers in my 1st hour in game than 900 hours in BF2042. MW is full of them. They are however hilariously being banned. It’s funny watching them plead their innocence with multiple VAC bans on their records on the steam forum.

    In 900 or so hours in 2042 I’ve come across 1 hacker. Otherwise they’ve been so bad at the game I’ve not even noticed. Imagine that.
  • Hello there, if you suspect cheaters in any of our games, I recommend looking at our article on reporting players.
