All i can say is...
Whilst the anticheat is slow off the mark
Just do your in game reporting AND encourage others to do so in game chat, the more reports in game seem to trigger a faster response for a ban.
example-Over friday/saturday just gone we had the same user-going 70/80 with 1/2 deaths just doing h/shots with the desert eagle, it took two days but they got a ban how long for god knows, even better when they got booted midmatch.
If cheaters aren't banned it means the anti-cheat software can't detect them cheating.
I don't believe EA issues bans based on video evidence since it can be deep faked.

Wow people actually make fakes? Man they need to touch grass or something
Some people actually get drunk or work themselves up and kill other people literally they chop them up and throw them in rivers. Where is creating a deep fake thing compared to that? Easy Peezy. Lol
@OskooI_007 Cheaters aren't banned and no one reacts on obvios reports because if you ban someone you lose its wallet and ability to buy now and after. I strongly believe EA greed is the only reason all those OBVIOUS cheaters aren't banned yet. You know when you "suspect" someone cheating its something to investigate but when someone headshotting everything icluding pilots with total score of 140-0 I dont think you really need SUPER ADVANCED AI ANTICHEAT.
So everything is detected, EA knows, everyone knows, but since peope pay dorrars its okay. You guys here complain about hackers but keep buying franchise too so who cares your injured expeirence
"You guys here complain about hackers but keep buying franchise too so who cares your injured expeirence"
totally agree.
It is the players themselves who set the bar for how aggressive EA and an anticheat should be so that players do not leave and stop playing completely.
When players themselves see cheaters calling out other cheaters, then you may wonder how high this threshold of acceptance has been pushed.
It's that simple that this is the level of cheating you tolerate and EA just goes along and adjusts the parameters accordingly, to maximize their earnings.
Played earlier and came across a player who was quite obviously not legit. Reported him. Came back 3 hours later and ran into him again. 9KD, 100 hrs playtime and almost 20k kills. I don't believe there is any type of anti-cheat software running. It has been really bad the past 2 weeks, think they offered free game play again.
With over 5000 matches under my belt i will agree with you-
Anticheat is either turned on, off or stops working, or is down for Maintance
Last week reported 3 suspect people on sunday and come monday they were removed.
This week reported another 2 people since friday and every game over the weekend i saw them...monday they are still playing.
Makes it worse when they admit in chat they are cheating and know that at this time they can get away with it
Problem is - it's a constant race. Dice finds and bans - have a certain cheat on the list. The cheat makers then adjust create it different and then undetected again. In old days with punkbuster we had client scan of files - but think even that they can beat - have files look same with same size and all.
I'm not a coder and not sure what options they have, but read something about protected memory in win 11. Perhaps that will be a thing for next BF - launch game in protected mem and make it a requirement and not able to launch game if not enabled.
Regarding the other thing with EA anticheat - report, report and report - only way. Eventually they get back and say they have taken actions - but it takes a lot of time. With all the cheats going on in both BF 5 and 2042 - I think they could have a whole department hired for this alone - and not sure they will throw that kind of money after this.
Bring back old times vote map and vote kick or better yet - let people have a server file download and run own servers and be admins or rent the servers as before and be in control.
Then you could also have ping limits on servers etc.

What Dice? The remnants of Dice keep that they patch the old engine in small ways.
This ancient cheat has apparently been around since the days of BF1 with minimal edits. In general, network traffic is analyzed there and all the data is taken from there. They are not even able to encrypt network traffic.
They are simply not able to protect their consumers. Either they are incompetent, or they don't care and don't want to bother and spend money.
But they came up with a rule that cheaters cannot be called cheaters, even providing irrefutable facts so that cheaters do not get offended. Insanity.
At the same time, cheaters make their product completely different from what consumers paid their money for! This is a shame.
Cheaters are essentially terrorizing and bullying consumers. They also humiliate EA itself, showing that the company is weak and incompetent. Fake anti-cheat does not work, reports do not work and no one does anything. This is just a disgrace.
AI is starting to appear more and more in the cheating and the only thing that helps as a countermeasure is AI, and there are companies that are clearly developing this with good results.
Then that this AI power would be used by the AAA titles to ban with full force, I find it hard to believe, because the cheaters, as they say in the video are at least 33% of the player base and then has become a very large part of a game's income.
Then it is not so strange that publishers and shareholders will take advantage of this, as a cheater can basically be compared to a drug addict who cannot stop, and becomes someone who constantly spends more money to satisfy his addiction.

This reasoning is based on a false statement. There are no 33% cheaters at all. This is just fiction. Even if you judge superficially, there are one or two of them in every game. Sometimes there are more, because there are already whole squads of cheaters. And most often they are the same. I already know a dozen or two cheaters. One or two, sometimes four out of sixty-four players, doesn't work out to 33%. There are 1-2% of garbage in any society. A large part is still in a borderline state. If they know that they will be punished, then they will not cross the line. And if cheaters are banned mercilessly, then after a short time new ones will stop appearing. And if you don't ban them, then there will be more and more of them. In the virtual world, everything is like in real life.
I understand that the numbers sting, one out of three is not an impossible number when you look at how big the cheating industry has become and these numbers cannot be ignored. The numbers of the cheating industry are real and taken from real life, too.
When it dawns on someone that the situation is worse than they thought, the first reaction is usually, no it's not happening here, it's just the others over there who must have this problem.
The cheaters who are "seen" and are reported belong to a minority of the cheaters and as you describe it, self-managed servers with admins should be an easy solution to problems, since the cheater is known.
The developers or ea have Shell companies per se who have the code dissected, it’s not hard to cheat the system. This game was made to be exploited and allow cheaters, some of the cheating that can happen in gaming doesn’t happen in bf2042. They allow a portion of buffs and cheats, the monthly fees for the cheats pays for many people to continuously modify the code to stay within parameters to not be caught by current standards. Solid games have code that don’t permit cheats to be present on console, not hard to find cheaters on console and remove them, when they started cross play with pc this was the topic, it spews cheats and is prolific in its ability to migrate to consoles. Like drugs, no matter how many you stop there is too much money to be had so it will only continue and it will always be one or more steps ahead. Adding ai scripted environments pads the system of cheating even more and out paces the funding required to prevent it, companies and governments pay people to find ways to cheat to make anti cheat but as mentioned earlier the other side has way more participants and funding then these people could ever dream of. Ea has been making cookie cutter games with loose regulation for years, they have a reputation they built on pumping out games and instead of fighting cheaters they leverage the liquid assets on a gamble they don’t get sued for fraudulent games and advertising. Sadly it starts with solid base code and they don’t care if the gave even works correctly. Long as they can get a p o s to run in 48 hrs of launch they made money and don’t spend very much to do anything later. Ea seems to have been scamming the legal system and consumers for over ten years and they aren’t going do anything about cheating other than call the person reporting it a liar. They will say we are grieving, they well have partners of theirs tell you it’s skill based, the cheaters will call you a newb, anything to misdirect the solid fact they have been in relation with the cheating industry to profit from consumers.

Can you prove these are rly wrong, who has the marketing consent, this single company does not own all those agreements upon further inspection whether directly tied or tangibly connected this is the internet world we live in. Your censorship community lol Nothing is the truth in your conscript

I think EA doesn't like cheaters, but like all game companies they're powerless to stop them on PC.
Xbox and PlayStation are the only platforms that can stop cheating so long as crossplay is turned off.
If I ever get back into online gaming it'll be on a console platform so I can have a cheat free gaming experience. That makes me a little sad because I prefer gaming on PC.
Higher frame rates and less mouse lag is the primary reason I prefer gaming on PC. Unfortunately I've experienced way too much cheating on PC so I'm switching to console gaming with crossplay turned off.
That’s why I have been playing console, now that it has been a decade the crossplay is leaving consoles suspect to crossplay shenanigans those who have built their own network server and computer to play online gaming aren’t chiming in and rising the flags with the knowledge of how it all plays together in the world of gaming today. The future of gaming with handheld games playing against a terra flop pc is a huge mismatch. These were things talked about in depth at a game party in Washington DC years ago. Some didn’t care as they will always have an awesome pc while other like me pointed out the interference of cloud related lag frame rates and how easy cheating could be inserted completely masked by default traffic and scripts. Having games published and released with huge gaps in security that “work” don’t help the situation when regulators in the majority of the countries don’t enforce
solid rules on internet security policies and then add the advertising from direction beaming for funding from countries that don’t have any security policies and are free to make the cheating hacking programs codes and software and ship hardware globally. The problem we are taking about in this post is the lack of transparency of enforcement, which reason was found. Awareness is key to success for all stakeholders involved to benefit from this process. If ea was posting weekly or monthly we found this and these tags and ip whatever have xyz sanctions done others will perk up and take note. Unfortunately the crossplay phenomenon with PC gaming has its own issues, those with pc builds far above the top consoles tech specs woo always be the winner. Case closed, they need to edge maximum pc tech specs to be in true crossplay mode with consoles and put the others once again in that elite position to have totally awesome pc games. Showing the community that “ea” has censorship’s influence over our culture of gaming to continue to rake in our money is border line retaliatory measures when they become god mode all knowing all seeing which is complete nonsense. It is because this cheating has ran off into the sun set and small gaming committee parties have been erased after we got esrb pushed through. Most of the major publishers of games today are looking like they are just flying blind by the seat of their pants hoping a game even works to keep up with crossplay and the non existent 8k games that another semi false narrative for a different time but yeah bf2042 doesn’t have console only and for the foreseeable future there will be no console only gaming. It is disappointing
"conspiracy" well since few month we have cheater who had acces to admin command in SWBF2 and NO ONE on the staff from EA respond to us or do anything to stop that 🙂
everyday the game is broken, doxx ect
its the same on BF2042, EA let the cheater because it "cost" to much to ban them
They not gonna deal with it , because the simply don't know how and most devs are not competent enough to make a proper anticheat program . And a lot of reports are ignored. but who are we , just gamers.
