Sony update to PS5 broke peripherals
Although the news stories don’t say of it was intentional, I’m pleased to hear today that a recent PlayStation update prevents peripherals such as Cronus from working. Other games have taken steps to...

@sk1lld That’s sweet. PC needs to do the same thing to prevents its use, as well as EA Anti-Cheat needs to be further developed. Some kind of policy statement from EA and Dice would be welcomed.
@ATFGunr I'm not tracking here, PC users don't use Cronus as MKB (the reason to use cronus on console) is our main input method. I've read that recently the exploit to have aim assist with MKB by having a controller simultaneously connected was also fixed so there should be nothing to prevent for PC.

ATFGunr was just celebrating the fact that a cheating method got nerfed on console.
And because we have crossplay in this game, he will encounter less cheaters as a PC player. Good for everyone.
It’s interesting because when I played BF2042 via the Xbox One app earlier tonight, none of the usual top of the board PS players were playing.
It could be a coincidence though.
But it sure makes me think!

Don't speak for me, you don’t know me. I celebrate anytime cheating is reduced or eliminated for all. I’d be dancing if EA Anticheat was better. I mostly play with crossplay off against other PC players due to the horrible network issues, desync, etc. If consoles can cheat or not doesn’t affect me playing 2042. I don’t know what angle you’re working but I don’t need anyone to speak for me.

I am a simple man. I gave you credit. Maybe my wording was wrong.
I knew something was odd when I played against other PS5 players. This is disturbing, I knew it I would light someone up in the back and they would turn around so fast and kill me.
EA did ban 30k cheats on fifa back in 2021. I'm sure they have it in them to ban people. I find on the BF series that they just give too many warnings.
I'm glad this device finally got banned, and hopefully, this is just the beginning of a long list of bans coming. It would be so cool if cheaters names got released.
I think Sony is just far behind on updating their system to combat cheating. They should catch up soon.
Some of those streamers aren't as good anymore, kinda odd...lol
I don’t believe that the main reason devices like these are so popular is because so many people want to play MnK on console.
It’s a bit like in the past when people said they bought Playboy magazine just for reading the articles. 😏I welcome the ban of these! One of the main reasons for me to go from PC to console at the time was the leveled playing field. A closed ecosystem giving hackers no chance, and everybody using mostly the same hardware. Unfortunately this has changed with the arrival of 3rd party and elite controllers, and it has gotten out of hand with cheating devices like Cronus. So if we can revert that a bit temporarily, hoorah!
As said before I’ve got no illusion that we got rid of it completely. The company selling these things will work to get their product working again.
- @RanzigeRidder2 The Playboy reference is terrific 🤣. Realistically Dice should add legit M&K to 2042 for those console players that want to play that way.
@JOGAGATYA, your wording made it seem like I was glad that consoles were being restricted and PC was not, which is not my intent at all. I appreciate that may not have been what you meant, I want to stress that cheating of any kind, by any system, is not acceptable. We are all gamers who just want to play and none of us deserve to get railed by cheaters whether on PC or console.
