DO SOMETHING - unplayable EVERY lobby is infested w hackers (BLIX et al)
The game has become almost unplayable, like almost very match is infested with hackers - any lobby for sure over time. The worst is some hacker called [Edit - EA_Barry]. They put the game into Demo mode so you just see a camera view flying around and the game is canceled therby. It has become so bad it has become unplayable. The hacker comes along ruining like every lobby. And then you have the "normal" hackers on top. Also they are always braging with the same slogan [Edit - EA_Barry] ... I mean come on.
Why dont you turn this admin mode of ?
Please do something about it! WE cant even report the hacker since he enters admin mode.
@-DW-GarthRevan i report this guy and they still havent done anything about it because those name dont appear in the search for names on the ea app. it a fake admin account
@EA_Barry Except that doesnt work. Ever. They are using accounts that dont show up in scoreboard. Once in awhile you do find an account everyone reports it and nothing changes. How can it be that a billion dollar company doesnt have anything monitoring its servers? It seems like it a minimal fix to see if resources have shot up to 1000% which is the lag hack shortly before this fake BLIX and other admin account drive it into auto kill everyone and cinema more. In fact the lag when they do this is so bad your lucky not to have to alt+f4 the game to get out. If they are able to do that without ea doing anything, is EA going to do anything when they start loading viruses on peoples machines as patches? Really if the game isnt supported, it shouldnt be sold and it should be refunded. Its a bit hard to report cheaters when the reporting mechanism requires that they be listed in scoreboard.
Thank you for the fast feedback. However reporting is not possible. Here is the video footage. I was in the fight on Kamino, then:
Hacker enters Admin mode (yellow) and will do all kinds of abuse, including - flying camera (every map) - On Hoth+Crait: Stopping ATAT (making the game non progressing and endless) - On Kashyyyk: Stopping MTTE (making the game non pogresing and endless) - Beaming all players into one spot thus killing all heroes (every map) - Threatening other players verbally like you see BLIXX here
Blixx (and some others, but he/she is the most agggressive so far) does this to destroy entire gameflow entering each lobby on each server threatening "BLIXX OWNS BATTLEFRONT - BLIXX OWNS KYBER - BLIXX OWNS YOU" in yellow admin font (time 0:06) - than he kills the game therby ruining the game at will.
@EA_Barryhey the names are not real you cant find them anywhere on the forums or in the EA app so who are you to report and they dont appear on the scoreboard. its a fake admin account which have been around for 2 years now or more. because you guys have done nothing to fix this problem. ps listen to the fan base of the game dont let this become like the 1hp hack which took you guy almost 1/2 year to say it was a hack and 1 to to get it fix. do the fan base need to start go to game magazine give them a story about this. saying guys are trying to sweep it unnder the rug again!
@EA_Barry Are you going to fix Galactic Assault? the film camera makes it unplayable. And as already written - you cannot report them, these are FAKE nicknames.
@EA_Barry and@91comet91and @-DW-GarthRevan In addition to that, the cheaters and hackers do add to their nicks "_hacker(s)", "_aimbot" as suffix. That much, how effective reporting of the cheaters/EA-Server-hackers works. One of cheaters wished me "Good Luck" after I told him that I willl report his hacks...
Same tonight EA has its head somewhere. I like the mods only reply to say that posting usernames is not allowed but hey dont reply the fact that every server is pretty broken right now -seriously wtf is the problem with ea, either fix it or refund
Any news, updates, comments about the measures being taken on the server side against cheating hackers who are breaking the lobby? I brought you couple of fresh examples of their 'work'.
Please - look at the video at this reddit post. All this is still happening (to date, including today, May 4th). You constantly write the same advice: send a complaint through the EA App, but please - watch the video carefully and tell us how to determine who did this in the game (I mean by which nickname what user accelerated the AT-AT's in the game and missed a whole phase)? The point is that this is not recorded in the game in any way. An unknown player interferes with the game with his cheats, the players do not know who did it - what profile to complain about? There are dozens people in the lobby - how to understand who cheated?
What's happening today, May 4th: most of the day the lobbies in 'Galactic Assault' are broken from the start of the game, the cinematic camera starts almost immediately (the camera flies through the entire map). Meanwhile, the chat displays yellow messages (from the server administrator! - see attached screenshots) with advertising messages about some account on social networks. In the only video on the channel on the profile that is advertised, you can see such comments. What do you propose to do in this case? In the lobbies that were destroyed from the start today, there was no player with the same nickname that is shown in the game chat - about what player should I send a report to (and this 'someone' wrote in comments on YouTube that they will continue to do this)?
Please pay attention to the main points of this topic and these multiple messages:
Cheaters (hackers) have learned to hide their nicknames in the game chat thanks to game exploits and/or the lack of a secure environment on the servers - I mean, how did they learn to interfere in the lobby that is created on the server (potentially, SWBF2 servers are not protected from outside interference)?
Cheaters may not play in the lobby, but only enter it, break the script of its operation and exit it - the broken lobby will remain so, and the unknown cheater may no longer be in the lobby. They destroy and leave, while the broken lobby remains broken due to interference.
Now you are proposing to solve the consequences, but the problem itself is not being solved - cheaters continue to break the lobby, why they can write in the chat as server administrators and interfere with the game script? It turns out that they interfere with the operation of the servers, which is probably written and prohibited in ToS/EULA, and EA turns a blind eye to this problem? Since none of community manager have yet given an official comment on those cases when it is unknown who broke the lobby and it is unclear about what player to send a complaint to.
Please react already - cheaters are destroying the most popular modes in game ('Supremacy' and 'Galactic Assault'), the nicknames of the cheaters are unknown, and about what player-cheater to send a report to is also unknown. What should other players do in this case and what steps are being taken or will be taken to ensure the safe operation of SWBF2 servers?
This messages (in attached screenshots) appears in 'Galactic Assault', and after that a cinematic camera starting flies through the whole map - that is happening today, May 4th in most lobbys
