DICE TeamIn BF1942 the servers were run mostly by the players themselves and policed by the players themselves and although cheating was and still is happening it was dealt with quickly.
Why open up the servers and allow teams and players to run the servers and police them against the cheaters and script kids?
If EA are not going to take control of this then let the player base do it and let us make the game what EA promised it would be.
Alternatively install code within the game that checks for validity of the program files and searches for additional scripts and code and block those players from joining a game when they run or are running the scripts, surely this cant be hard for the developers to implement?
I echo the thoughts of others on this forum wherein it seems that EA simply don't care any more and have moved on to the next big cash cow but thanks for your efforts in keeping the conversation alive.
To run any cheat in game requires modification or exploitation of code within the game, such as the tagging of all enemies while clearing a sector in breakthrough. To make this happen the code must change from what is normal and therefore the packet transmission will differ from a normal player so I really do not see why it is so hard?
Good to hear though that the private server program will eventually happen thanks 🙂
Hey here news about cheater hunting
Continued Work with Anti-cheat
Our work against cheating in Battlefield V will continue, too. The members of our anti-cheat team are working daily towards making the battlefield experience as free of foul play as possible. Discussing technical detail into our methods may unfortunately make cheating worse, but we want you to know that we’re constantly fighting the battle.
As a reminder, there are steps you can take to help us keep the fight fair. You can report suspected cheaters through the Origin overlay if you're playing on PC, or through your respective consoles if you're playing on Xbox One or PlayStation® 4. This walkthrough on the Battlefield™ Forums will show you how. Also, protect your EA Account so it won’t be compromised and used by cheaters. Here’s how it’s done.
Thank you all for joining this journey and we look forward to sharing more with you this summer. Having a community of your caliber is a true privilege. In the meantime, we’ll see you on the battlefield.
