Star Wars Battlefront 2015 - Servers 'bricked'

Recently, some of the servers have been being broken by hackers. Their mods essentially make people teleport, but if you do it too fast you can stop the other team from spawning, for example (as they did), and generally after a while the server appears to 'clog up'. This causes legitimate player requests to be ignored - moving, shooting, using Star Cards - and gives the experience of a VERY laggy connection. Unfortunately, when in this state, it appears that only headshots can deal damage, and nobody can be lowered below 1 hitpoint, making the game unplayable. This condition appears to persist on the server for a fair amount of time even after the hacker has left, and even brand-new sparkling-clean lobbies created with the intent of avoiding this can be 'bricked'. Please can this be brought to the attention of the EA devs, such that they might fix the servers, adequately hacker-proof their netcode, and punish those responsible? I can't fathom what the hackers get out of causing this - even less than I can fathom their usual selfish stupidity. I know lots of people have experienced this - I have been in lobbies with at least 80 different players where the server has been bricked - I just hope we can make enough noise to get this fixed again, like last time. This has happened on every server region that I have tried, and for many game modes.

    It's most likely the Devs that are messing the games up as well as some of them using cheats in game. lol

    I'm an adult so no, there isn't any crying but thanks for trying to be edgy. lol

  • This doesn't really align with the crash mod, but where is the PC discord server link, the ones in Reddit don't work anymore.

  • Still happens everyday. 1HP Hack (nobody can die), auto skip to end a mode early, and a lot more. EA has fixed this on bf2 but didn't do it for bf15, it's time this is addressed.
