what if cheats became a handicap instead of an advantage?
Hi everyone, I’ve been thinking about this: let’s assume cheaters will always find a way to bypass traditional anti-cheat detection. If that’s the case, maybe it makes more sense to stop chasing them only on the detection side and instead try to make cheats useless—or even turn them into a handicap. The idea would be to add a layer of deception: Server-side decoys visible only to suspicious clients – for example, NPCs or off-map anchor points that a wallhack would show as real, misleading cheaters into making wrong moves. Random fake targets during events like death, respawn, or loading – for legit players it’s just a transition screen, but for someone with an aimbot it looks like a real target, and the auto-aim might snap to it. Invisible “probe players” with unnatural movements (zig-zag, sharp curves) – a human wouldn’t react, but an aimbot might track them, revealing suspicious behavior. The system wouldn’t have to issue instant bans, but instead could gather evidence over multiple events and apply progressive mitigations. This way, cheats become less reliable, and cheat developers would need to invest more effort and resources just to keep them functional. What do you think? Is this just a silly idea, or could it actually help strengthen existing anti-cheat systems?
Battlefield 1 periodic multiplayer bug on playstation
Hi folks, I have noticed that the periodic Battlefield 1 multiplayer bug on playstation is back again. Last time this has occurred in February 2025 and resolved in April 2025 from this forum thread: https://forums.ea.com/discussions/battlefield-franchise-discussion-en/game-disconnets-when-you-choose-tank-plane-od-cavalry/11928138/ The issue manifests in the following ways on the affected servers (first only some servers are affected, and in short time all the playstation servers will be affected): When you try to select any vehicle or cavalry - you'll be disconnected from server. Your multiplayer progress is missing, all the 4 roles will have zero progress. Unlocked weapons are locked. I am starting this new forum thread to document this new occurrence help in it's resolution.

BF1 stuck in queue
The last few days I’ve experienced being stuck as #1 in Operations queue. I can join servers that are not full, but as soon as there is a queue and I try to join, I’ll never get a spot in-game. I’ll move forward in the queue, but once I get to #1 place nothing more happens. I’ve waited absurd amounts of time, multiple times I’ve waited so long that when I leave, the same server has moved on several Operations since I tried to join. That not a single spot should open up over many Operations is not believable. I’ve tried a few times with other gamemodes, though less patiently, and it’s the same issue. I’ve reset my modem. Restarted game. Am I the only one with issues? And any thoughts to a solution?
