Kidiot Hackers....cant wait till school starts back up

 Its a damn shame I paid $70 to basically HELP these KIDIOTs (kid+idiot) cheat/hackers gain XP. Guess its back to my way of playing Combat Arms and other pvp games that don't STOP HACKS/CHEATS....wait till School starts back up on Monday to play since all the lil cheats will be in school and the REAL players come out. So living on the East Coast that means giving time for West Coasters to get to school that gives us authentic play style players between 11AM-4PM to actually get to play FAIR....nice $70 bucks for 6 hours of play time cause EA/ORIGIN REFUSES to add Cheat/Hack Shield.

    Heyho @CPoky4,

    @Tuzy72 is absolutely right. We're using an anti-cheat called "Fairfight" and I can assure you that it's working fine and that our Terms of Service and Anti-Cheat team work hard to achieve a cheater/hacker free game experience. In the past I had several occasions where I encountered cheaters in games that were using Fairfight myself, and I was pleased by the experience with it. 

    If you should encounter a cheater, you can always report that player over this link: -> Click me! <-

    Cheers, 
    Val

  • I used to long ago on the other games, just to have them create a new account name and start again. Be a lil harder considering the games on an EA account not a free to play game but WHY, why should I do extra work for EA when all theyd have to do is have a Anti Hack program like most do. Hell even TF2 on Steam has hackshield. Its bad enough all these companies trick us into being Game Testers (Beta anyone) so WE get to figure out the bugs for THEM for FREE before public release. Easiest way I found to "try" and avoid them is at the start of games I announce "So yinz hackers know I'm recording the game" and watch the cheats DROP OUT of the match. They got $$ and resources, just add a damn anti cheat shield.

  • EA has anti hack system. I don't know which Star Wars use; but I know about Battlefield 4 and Battlefield Hardline. They use an anti hack/cheat system called Punkbuster, from Even Balance. If you want, you can check here: http://www.evenbalance.com

    And I also announce! It's funny to see they run... 😃

    I ACTUALLY seen the Fair Fight ban a user last night so I must say it IS there lol. Oddly enough it occurred right after I noticed a CHacker and made my "sure glad I'm recording this" standard comment, next line in game chat stated "FAIR FIGHT has banned __________". BUT how long these BANS last? I mean it cant be forever, I don't see being able to Block someone from playing a game they paid for forever. So are they like 12 hour bans, 24 hr? Point is, will they/can they return and just CHack again? d:^D

  • Really? FairFight? You must be kidding right? Battlefield 4 hacks work for this game. Stop lying to these people, you've wasted enough of their, and my, money. We keep reporting, but they keep hacking. Always the same ones, so unless its the actual developers in there hacking(COD devs do) your FairFight aint worth *. I want a damn refund, but aint getting one for some reason. Oh ya, great game guarantee, That's some * too.

    Reports of FairFight working sound more scripted than anything. I seriously doubt it's really working. Maybe DICE and EA should pony up into these discussions themselves to find out the truth. Or maybe they just don't care, which is more than likely what it is. This forum does not allow you to post potential cheaters game names either, like other game sites do. Supposedly, they get a life time ban from this game if caught hacking, but if that happened, all of the dev's family members and friends may not be able to play the game.

    I used to play battlefield 4, but the game was so full of hackers and aimbots that I quit. I stopped playing this game several days ago and will not buy another game from Dice or EA again. It's become a running joke on the internet for hackers.

    Cheaters are posting to YouTube and other sites with their game names and nobody does anything. Duh! I can't get my initial money for buying the game, but I sure as heck want a refund for the season pass I paid for since it has not come out yet.

    In all honesty Oo-SyndicatE-🤭, 24 hours is a long time to see if you can 1. run a game without problems 2. get a feel of the engine 3. explore the game a bit to see what modes there are and such. If they would put it longer people would just binch play a game for 2 or 3 days, then return it. 

    On the point of returning a game after you found out there are cheaters around, that's indeed sometimes hard to see when you just start out. You don't always know what's possible and what not and must be a cheat. I do see people getting banned, but i feel the frustration as well when i see someone who has been reported by several people still in game a day or 2 later. Still you should report every incident you see. The more reports, the quicker the ban eventually will come.  

     Edit: And to the people telling this only happens with Dice and/or EA games. Wrong. Every single online game is being cheated in. True that some developers/publishers seem to respond less to it (or don't give out details about their approach on banning at all) but it's just a common thing.
