Undetected cheats, livestreams, no bans – what’s going on with Battlefield 6?

Does your anti-cheat even work?

I understand there may be strategic reasons not to discuss detection details publicly, but your anti-cheat team really needs to step up.

The sheer number of freely available cheats for Battlefield 6 is appalling — especially since many are currently listed as undetected. Some YouTubers even stream their gameplay while openly showcasing and promoting these cheats, apparently without consequences. Given the lack of visible enforcement or response, it’s becoming reasonable to suspect the anti-cheat isn’t working as intended.

If it is working, please support that claim with published KPIs (detections, bans, appeals handled) — or, my personal favorite, consider publishing a global in-game ban log or notification whenever large-scale enforcement actions are taken. 

That kind of transparency would do a lot to rebuild confidence.

One could dismiss my perception (and that of many others) as paranoia, but the sheer amount of suspicion alone should give pause. What are your plans?

When can we actually expect the fair play you’ve been promising?

I sincerely hope your anti-cheat system is still in its learning phase — because if this is supposed to be the finished watchdog system, it’s difficult to see how the game’s long-term reputation can survive. If any EA / DICE employee wants to comment on this — publicly or via private message — please do so.

We’ve now reached a point where I report several people in every single match who don’t even bother to hide their cheating — some even brag about it in chat.

    Parroting what others said above about secure boot and arms race and all of that, consoles have solved this problem by controlling their environment, cryptographically signing everything with unknown keys, and preventing custom software for the vast majority of users.  If secure boot can't solve it, an arms race becomes tiresome, and a PC is too general purpose to be locked down to the degree necessary to mimic the solution consoles have, I wonder if a custom OS mode would ever be considered.  Windows Store kind of solves these sort of problems, but everyone hates it.  What if Microsoft came out with a Store mode that you could boot into, where everything non-store was impossible to execute, and game developers miraculously used it and gamers miraculously accepted it.

    Just thinking...

  • of course cheating will continue to exist, if you understand the dev charges $10-20 monthly subscription fees just for providing the programs. But DICE couldn’t even hotfix critical bugs like ifv mr missiles and hammering drones fast, what do you expect.

    I didn’t look for cheats because I wanted to use them — I was simply trying to confirm whether the cheating problem people keep mentioning is actually real.

    Turns out, it sadly is. I did the research so you don’t have to — literally a 30-second search on YouTube, and here’s a snapshot (names blurred for privacy) from a video uploaded yesterday. You can clearly see ESP outlines around players through walls.

    I’m not falling for clickbait — this stuff is current and public. That’s exactly what makes it so frustrating: if I can find it in half a minute, how is the anti-cheat team missing it? @Moderator, if this is too less blurred just let me know.

    Edit: Removed image of channel promoting cheating. Do not post anything related to cheating on these forums. Instead, send a private message with your report to a CM. Thanks! -CM

    Maybe they, EA i men, doasen't want delete and ban cheaters. Its business. Wat do u think? how many are cheaters? 50%? 60%? 70%? 80%? Well, do u think they love lost so much money? If they ban cheaters, the cheaters next year dont will buy game. So now we know the percentage. And it is realy hight much more than onest players. They just ban only, who have illegal account. Why? Cos they lost money. Cos the cheats pack have too more than one illegal account. EASY? They kidding us.

    Hey, everyone. I'm locking this thread as we don't allow discussions regarding cheating. We are always in the trenches trying to rid the battlefield of dishonest players. You're always welcome to report any cheating by following the instructions here. Thanks!
